the only other thing I would suggest would be a tip on your exhaust

And if you're still gonna get your rims anodized with that black chrome...do the exhaust tip the same color!

That truck is absolutely gorgeous. Personally, I wouldn't touch the wheels. I'd leave them just the way they are. The truck already screams "I'm a badbutt but I'm not a show truck" with the way it looks right now. If you got the wheels done then it would look to much like a show truck. They way it sits now it looks like a show truck that works as well. It's an amazing truck. Congrats on it.

Been waiting to see pics, and it was sure worth it. Good job man, look forward to hear more on the power after your break-in period.

I love the Truck!! Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!


However......you are asking for opinions and here is mine. I am the lone dissenter when it comes to the 22.5'' wheels. I just think they are to big and to much and take away from and not add to your truck. Another wheel combo, maybe with 19.5'' would look better, imho.

No doubt you have done your homework and spent some serious money to create an awesome rig! Good job!! (just lose the wheels.. )

Your truck looks very well put togther! It looks just right now, great Job.

My .02 is that the exhaust should be left alone, keep the business end "all business". If you did anything to it, maybe cut it on an angle like the stock pipe.

D- I LOVE your truck!!!!!! best looking mega I have ever seen!!!



I am a little sad to see the Laramie bumper painted black. I think it adds to the wheels with the chrome center in the bumper. (you need to keep some bling!! )


Wow it looks great tho!!

Thank you everyone for your great support.

I agree the dual exhaust would look even better; it was not available when I purchased mine. I love symetry so I may change that.

I plan on jet coating the exhaust black since it is so hard to keep an exhaust polished and the grungy silver isn't black or chrome so it doesn't really go with the rig.

: Thanks! Emily says thank you as well (my fiancé). Thank you for all of your patience and help through this! I cannot wait to get the Smarty on as well!

: Aren't all Texans supposed to like things as big as possible, LOL But seriously, I do know what you mean. I WISH I could go bigger, but Dodge made very small wheel wells when you consider the size of the truck. The fact that I could drive on the road (not off-road) in my H2 running a 38x15.50 with just a little plastic trimming shows how small these heavy duty trucks' wheel wells are. I am looking into a 295/60/22.5 tire imported from Australia (if it passes DOT) to get a little more width on the tires, because to me they are a little skinny; but we shall see!

Thanks again guys and I will DEFINITELY keep you informed on the power numbers when she gets to the Cummins place.

And lastly, Megzilla...Not bad!!!

That is a BEAUTIFUL truck you have, lets see some pics of it towering over your Lambo.

I see your wife and your Great Dane are rocking the Burberry.

Can I have your budget? I almost wet myself after reading your sig. I hope 5" is enough exhaust for you.
