Default Daily driver project ram

Since theres mostly chevy trucks on this site i thought id make my own dodge thread with updates on the stuff i do till i get it done . Its a 2002 Dodge Ram 2wd Quad Cab with a 4.7 and 137k miles. I bought it right before thanksgiving. Heres the mod list when i bought it

Leveling kit
Hankook 35's on stock wheels
Tinted tail lights
Step bars
Tinted windows (legal)
Flowmaster in place of stock muffler

Ive taken the 35's off the truck and put stock 245/70s on it, stripped the legal tint off and put 18% on, 6000k HIDs, and removed the step bars. I orderd a mcGaughys 2/4 lowering spring kit that should hopefully be put on next weekend.

Heres a pics of the truck the day i bought it, then with the smaller tires and removed stepbars

Lookin' Good! These trucks look awesome slammed. I would go more than the 2/4 drop but that is my opinion and I MIGHT be a little bias. I bet it will look good with the 2/4 too though!

yeah, there's not a whole lot of activity from the dodge camp on here. i haven't really found an active dodge forum yet. still, it's good to see another dodge on here. i think it'll look great with the 2/4 drop and all blacked out. i'm hoping to put a 2/4 drop on my ram soon. if your still set on the viper rims, check out vtcoa.com, there's usually a set on there every now and then. good luck on the drop and mods.
