Gonna pull the trigger and order up some Core 4x4 products. The whole enchilada….. Upper, Lower, Panard, and Sway links and when they hit the market, I’ll go with the UCA for the front.

Question is: Which color to go with?

Looking to compliment, and accent the suspension and Ram. DO NOT want gwaddy or Ghetto.

I know it’s subjective, but would appreciate your inputs and pics if you have some to compare. Once a color is selected…I’m stuck with it :waytogo:

Choices are narrowed down to: Hemi Orange, Red, Black, and lt green.

1. Hemi Orange: Love that Ole School look, and do have a Hemi Orange Vararam

2. Red: Already have red pinstriping ( vinyl tape.. so not permanent and color can be changed), could bring it all together with the two.

3. Black: Always a safe choice. Would keep it stock looking for the most part.

4. Lime Green: Much more in your face than the others, which can be good and bad.

Having a Black Ram certainly gives multiple options. It’d be great if I could grab an actual example of each color and hold it to compare, but it is what it is.

Thanks for your feedback in advance :waytogo:

Stick with black IMO. That way if you ever want to all black the truck you have no worries. To my eyes the wild colors will do your Ram absolutely no service.

yer truck looks good. I'd probably go with black or the burnt orange (as a second). Then, OTOH, the green kind of looks cool too. So....IDK :hmm:

True…. But not going to drop that coin, just to ‘spray paint’ them. It’d have to be done right.

But you do give me an idea……. Spray the current factory ones and see how the colors flow or not. I’ll be replacing them anyways . Hmmmmm

For subtle pop go red.
If you paint the calipers red it'll tie it all together.
Black with red & chrome is a time-proven combo.

Plane to do the calipers silver to blend in with the wheels.

Totally agree that the Black, Red and chrome done tastefully is timeless.

You all have given some great thoughts though :waytogo:

If you want color, red is the one. Matches your existing accents. Otherwise, black.
A little chrome or silver would pair well with the black or red, too.
