Tallest Ram I've ever seen

Hey guys. I was on my way home from my final exam today when I saw this Ram 3500. This has got to be the tallest and oddest Ram I have ever seen around here (New Orleans, LA.). First off I have NEVER seen a Ram running around here with stacks, not to mention this sucker is HUGE. Also, nice set of stadium lights on the front of that bad boy, eh? I had to run home to get my camera for this one. I thought you guys would like it. I appologize for the railings in the front, he was parked in a diffictult spot to take a picture and not get ran over. I don't think he's a regular, I've never seen this truck there before, but if I see it again, I will definately get some better pictures.

To each his own. My wife took one look and said it was the ugliest Ram she had ever seen.

Yeah, but I'd hate to try adjusting the valves without a cherrypicker.

Re:Tallest Ram I've ever seen

well, some things i like- the stacks look great, but i can't believe that he used plow frame headlights on the bottom of the bumper...looks cheap imho.

i'm sure he can see A TON at night time though ;D

Re:Tallest Ram I've ever seen

It would be interesting to see it close up and see how he did a few things. I see two shocks on the steering. Wonder how he connected the steering box to the wheels. It does not look like the rear diff is tilted so wonder what sort of angles he has on the drive shaft? Bet the universals are working overtime. Specially the front one.

I don't see any steering linkage.

I do see what looks like a hydraulic steering gizmo just above the 4 steering stabilizers though.

Perhaps like Monster trucks do?

A bit high for daily driving, or offroading even.

I'll stick with my 5 inch.

Man!
The Local Law Enforcement fellas would have a field day with that rig! : They have really cracked down on lifted trucks around this area in VA.

I saw a white one like that but it still had dual rear wheels.
