1.5"-2" probably
Right now the stock wheels with 6" BS have 1.75" spacers
I think 5" BS is what I want, yours like like they would fill the flares perfect Braydon

Here's before the flares

IMO 5" BS is perfect...not to far out but not tucked in. 5.39" BS is pretty close tho!

I'm wondering how much a difference it would really be
I have 1/4" spacers laying around at home but that's defeats the purpose lol
Or just go with the **** cepek with 5" BS haha
Atleast there is plenty of time to keep researching

I used duplicolor bed liner from a spray can
I really liked it at first, was the texture I wanted and everything
Not to crazy about it anymore
It's kind of peeled off in a few spots along the tape line
Its not very noticeable but it bugs me lol not even sure if my girlfriends noticed and I've had trouble with it on te flares as well but again it could be my fault
I would recomend the rustoleum spray can stuff if your lookin for a lighter texture or herculiner for a heavy texture
I've used them both and have been happier with them

So it's been just about three months now since I put her CAI on
I was a little nervous how the paint on the steel pipe for the torque tube would hold up being right next to the header and it's holding up great!
I got a pre filter from Dave and never did get a picture of it when I first put it on
I'm really glad I got it!
3 months and maybe 3,500-4,000 miles

The black spot is where I wiped off with my finger,I think I'm goin to wash it and recharge the filter pretty soon lol

Charged her AC today, something so simple ended up ******* me off
I'm use to the low side being up near the passenger side headlight but the high pressure port is up there instead
The low pressure port is on the canister on the firewall, you can hardly get the quick connect on it and most of the hose are to short for you to hold the can really upright

man I know how you feel. Try getting those "quick-disconnects" loose at the firewall... biggest pain in the ass ever. I bet youre loving the new Ac now with the weather youre having.

I've been telling her since last summer it needed recharged, it got to the point today where I stopped at Walmart and got a can an recharged it as soon as I got home
So much better though! I think I'm ready for our sub zero winters and snow again lol

I've recharged a Durango and 2 2nd gens, both were right up by the rad from what I remember so I was suprised to take the cap off to find the 16mm port

Got a grille for $15 so I figured I'd see of I like it or not
Don't really know what I'm gonna do, probably copy Scott and Braydon

Any tips for taking the honey comb off and does the dodge logo come off?

if its like the 2ndgen dodge badge it's just on there with glue and best way to get it off is prob a heat gun and prying.

good luck man
