Put on the new wheel set up and……wow. They’re big. i definitely want a level and some OEM fender flares now to help cover the poke.

I did a lot of searching for this size wheel set up, pics online didn’t look as aggressive as it is in person. Once it’s leveled and flares on I think it’ll look better. Truck needs to be washed, bad! It’s filthy from the body shop.

Looking good. You might find mud flaps help protect the sides as well :waytogo:

As @Socalramfan said, mudflaps do alot. I have about the same amount of poke. I don't want flares so I got a stock style flap and it actually does quite a bit. They've got other styles that would protect more/less as you wanted. Granted, if you end up in a muddy situation the trucks getting covered anyways, but you can see the "clean" spots were the flap deflected most of the mud. Flairs would have covered more obviously in that case.

Looks good, although I’m not much of a mud flap fan. The flares would be simply to push the body out and help cover some of the wheel. My truck doesn’t see any off roading.

Honestly, had I seen this wheel set up in person before the purchase, I wouldn’t have done it. I think 22x10 -24 would have been much better looking. But too late now. I guess I’m getting older, these wheels are a bit too “teenager-ish” for me.

This was a week or so ago. Helped my friend get things ready to move from Chicago to Arizona and helped make a few trips to storage, move furniture to new owners places, etc.. The usual hullabaloo you get when you have a truck and people need to move things. This family has been here since the eighties and this is the last time I'll be able to park in this spot, where I always parked when I came for a visit.

Small cast? Sounds like scouting around the Ram to detailing it in a short stool with wheels.
No cast yet. I am about 90-95% sure it is. Black and blue and swollen. Its the top of my foot. I cant stop. I battle through pain and enjoy life. Tempted to go out and try some of it on the ram. Its just hot outside.

Installed the Carven Progressive and the black tips that came in. The result made it worth the wait. Thanks to Nick/GotExhaust for the good deal.

Installed Mevotech TTX UCA's (after 5 coats of black paint) to replace my stockers. Although originals didn't seem to have any play and only had 65k miles, after 10+ years I figured it was time. Especially since I've been hunting down a vibration/handling issue for a while. Huge difference in ride now, steering wheel no longer wants to jump out of my hands.

Also had installed the TTX outer tie rods, but there was very little clearance with the rims and they were actually striking the stick on wheel weights. So I had to put the Moogs back on. Anyone else experience this? They are physically a taller unit and I guess with my 17's that was enough to make the difference...

Finally got the 35s on my truck after installing my 2” Thuren level back in February. Been building a house and driving 10x more than I normally do.

That foam cannon works great, I have that same one. So does the graphene tire dressing. Love that stuff!
My plastic bottle already stripped out... I saw a bottle with a metal top somewhere... I gotta get one soon.

I took the black vinyl off of the B pillars! The sun heated them up just right, peeled them from the top down and then cleaned up any left over adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and elbow grease, then added a coat of Mequiar's paste wax over them.
