Look at this Photo Please....

G'day guys,

When I first arrived in the USA last month I had never seen the latest RAM. I saw one in a carpark in Walmart my 2nd day and took a pic which I have in my phot gallery. Could someone have a look at the pic, and if its possible:


1. Give me an idea of what type of flares it has
2. A guess as to how much it is lifted
3. What type of step up rail it is.

Thanks guys, being a newbie to the USA, I dont the names/brands for these products. I just see them and know what I like!

P.S. The other pics are of my new Truck......I feel very fortunate!

Cheers,

Batts

Those are Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares. The black rubber strip around the top that goes between the flare and the body of the truck is a dead give-away. Bushwacker makes several models, so if you are set on those exact ones, get the Extend-A-Fender version. I have the same thing. Check my gallery....most are on page 2.

Lots of other flares available, so you do have options. http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/fender_flares.htm

I have the Dee Zee rails and those look exactly like mine, however, most rails look the same that far away. Hard to tell.

No clue on the lift.

Hope you have been saving your money!

yup, Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares. Most nerf bars (step bars) look the same. There are plenty to choose from. The lift looks like a 6" (probably Superlift)

Strange - looks like patriot blue on my monitor. Looks very nice, too.

I hadn't been planning on tires that big, but now.... hmmmmmm. My rails are going to be wheel-to-wheel. I'd be interested in finding out how much lift (if any) and what kind of tires/rims those are.

It most likely has a 6" Superlift. The tires are 37x12.50x17 Super Swamper SSR's (you can tell by the sidewall). The wheels are for sure Welds, and they look like Typhoons.

How Tall?

How much of a like is required to fit the 37inch tyres?

Cheers,

That an impressive looking ride. Man guys like that must have good credit or a money press in their basement...LOL..

A 6" lift would be big bucks wouldn't it?

If you lifted a long bed 6", and had 37" tires on it, how well would it pull a 10,000# tag trailer with load leveler bars? I know it seems like an odd question, but I would like to know.

I had a '99 Ford with 4" and 36" tires and it did pretty well.

Thanks
Jeremy
