I prefer to see a diesel being worked hard day in and out in real world life. You see way to many of these trucks are just pampered hiway cruisers.
Since you asked Mike.

Awesome truck bud. Makes me think that a set of Bushwhackers painted right would look good on my truck.
Blake ole buddy, I'll trade you even up for a set of 22.5" Alcoas.

Stargeezer- The pics of my truck are all stock no lift. I am about to install a 2" lift on the front. There is min. tire rub on the inner plastic on hard turns. There is some power loss but the H&S makes up for it. There is only a 5" difference in overall size versus stock. Overall height on my tire and rims is 36.6" becasue I am running a low pro 22.5 on the Alcoas.

hemisphere2 nice truck, how do you like the carli suspension? Which system did you go with? I am considering the Back Country system, don't really need that much suspension, but I hear the ride is like night and day.

Thanks! I have the 2.0 backcountry kit and it rides awesome, carli is making a radius arm setup like their 6'' kit for the 3'' crowd, I may get them when they are released.

Hey Blake - Isn't that the second verse of the Red/Green "Man's Pledge"?

In any event, I have lived by this rule for many, many years and all its cost is a new SUV, quilting machine, a couple sewing machines, a swimming pool, a deck, why, I even bought her a new utility tractor with a backhoe.... Come to think of it, things MIGHT be less expensive if I'd just behave. Nah......

I am a little risk adverse, and if I tried that I would have an old Saturn instead of a new truck. So I put my weekly allowance back and a short 20 Weeks I will be able to get my suspension and then when I get my mileage reimbursement from work a set of new tires that don're look like they belong on a Dakota. Who ever thought 245'a belong on a large truck should be taken out and shot for not looking at these forums and seeing what the owners really want on these trucks. Seeing all these trucks make me just want to go lay down another$10k on all the things I need to make my truck look half as good.

Thanks I want to do them right so don't want to rush it. So a beautiful white ram at Walmart and both of my girls said "daddy your truck should look like that." Had full deleted with 6" exhaust tip and 6" nds lift and 20" wheels and mid tires.
