2 5/8" gauges

Has anybody ever used these on their Rams? It would not be feasable to use the Apod mount with it, but I think a slightly bigger gauge would work a tad better, if just for me.<br><br>I have had a couple of ideas on how to get them mounted without making them look hinkey, was just wondering if anybody else has done the same?

Most people run the 2-1/16&quot; gauges cause they are smaller and look neater. Plus there are more mounting options. I think the 2-5/8&quot; gauges are to big.

I had a Pro Comp Autometer 2 5/8 Pyro in my rig up until 2 weeks ago when I switched to the smaller gauges. Personally, I like the bigger gauges. Easier to read and a larger needle sweep area. But, the mounting options out there arent very good. I had mine in a bullet cup.

Re:2 5/8" gauges

Hello<br>Well I am now expecting a 2 1/16 Autometer boost gauge. I got it off Ebay, I will know more when it comes, it is a 60 psi model, so for my truck it will run probably toward the lower end of the scale. <br><br>I am having a time seeing how far I can go upgrading on how little money. I view it as a challenge.<br><br>I still dont know what kind of pyro I am going to use, so I will hold off building/buying the gauge pod until I see how that shakes out.
