Over the rail hides dents in the rail well. Is also very nice to walk on when wet, like when loading a bike.

sakisaki400,

Where do your interests lie? Drag racing? Offroad? Show & shine? Work truck?

I like a good clean looking truck with stock wheels and oversized tires that sits level. My last truck was gas and the only thing that I can say I dont like so much is how right off the start this truck lags for a couple seconds. I am sure there is an easy way to fix that though.

Mopar rear wheel liners, mud flaps, bed liner, nerf bars, weathertech floor mats, sheep skin front seat covers from costco. That is a great start. I then added a pacbrake which I love, and Edge juice/Attitude. I wanted gauges not power but the edge gave me a nice looking moniter,a little extra juice and with the 06 It comes with a turbo timer. Just added cooper STT tires tonight 285/70/17 and they look great.

just do what I did, all of it. LOL

Tires, suspension, power, suspension, tires, power, power, looks, power. Something like that.

My take on the bed liners. Wait till you bed gets mucked up then do it. That is as long as your bed is not used everyday to load stuff.

This was/is my truck with 35s and a 2" front lift


things have changed since then.

That pic is with 2" coils up front. And a bunch of cool shocks and other stuff that let do 70+ off road.

But at the end of the day, 2" springs in that photo.

thanks
The buckstop is great, really changed the look of the truck. I just put a WARN 16.5k in the front. If it was not for the cable, you would not even know it is there.

The new pictures I have 3" springs and 37s.
