Well, shes lifted 2.0...

[Cheese-whiz]

For those that know me, I had a 2015 Ram 1500 CC, lifted on Nitto Ridge Grapplers....

well got the 2019 Classic done , dropped it off yesterday, picked her up at noon today. Shop is about an hour from me.
So since I bought Dec 29th...tinted windows, added Ionic 4" stainless nerf bars, and Maxtrac 4.5"/3" list kit. Man this truck rides like factory!!
Even the shop said it was a very simple install, alignment spec'd in!
The tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.50, did 5 and 5 wheels. Wanted a fullsize spare/replacement.
The rims are new for 2019, they are the MO970 in all gloss black. Same pattern as my old wheels, but all black.
Tonneau will be here tomorrow, so spare will go in bed locked.

Next is a Bedrug XL, Magnaflow #16869 catback, Pedal Commander and a simple audio system

@Graygoose What was the difference in ride quality between the Maxtrac and Fox shocks? Worth the extra cost?

Did you keep the fronts stock?

 

[Graygoose]

Front you use the new spindle.

 

[Toolman]

I understand, I was wondering if you kept the stock struts or replaced them as well.

NO, NEVER!!!
It's like a nuclear radiation half life. You keep cutting it in half but there's always the "other" half left.
It is really great looking at all the goodies in those boxes isn't it? Keep us posted. It'll happen.

That's awesome. I'm thinking of getting different rims and tires, pretty disappointed with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I saw those rims on your truck and really like them, so thinking about switching them out too lol.

 

[Graygoose]

wow you don't like the Ridge Grappler, love mine.

Yes you will like them, easy to clean back barrels. LOL

I loved them for about the first 10,000 miles. They look bad ass for sure. But it was around 10,000 miles I noticed a difference in the wet weather traction getting bad. Now with around 16,000 mile on them it's just horrible in wet weather. I have lost traction going around turns (going slow, like less than 5mph). I have to put it in 4 AUTO just to go anywhere or I'm just spinning tires every time I take off. They were not like this when I first got them. I haven't changed anything on the truck, other than put miles on it. They look like new but the traction is just **** now and makes drive overly cautious in wet weather... honestly makes me a little nervous. It was a lot of money to spend to only get 10,000 miles out of them, and now less than a year later I'm looking at spending another $1,500 or so on new tires. And now I'm trying to figure out what tire to get... won't be Ridge Grapplers lol.
