Rides great, as long as you wear a mouth piece.

Way to go, you are ruining yet another vehicle. I guess you need a redneck tow rig to pull that hacked up 2500 to the track

Outlaw it has been a long time since you have said something so retarded. How is it ruined? Because it looks funny with tiny tires for a few weeks?

And holy **** shovel off that dash board....

If you couldn't see that those tires were damn near non-existent in the pic he sent you, you should get your eyes checked.... Or even better, asking his what tire size was on them?? There's a brilliant idea...

The rims do look slightly better, less ghetto fabulous but the **** tires ruin any improvement. There's no way that rides better.

Hackers gonna hack....

your putting on bags and modifying it yourself, you do hacked work and its ruined. I wouldnt want it, those wheels look better than the chrome, but the clown tires have to go. Honestly it looked better with the stock wheels and tires before you touched it.

It solved a problem in many ways and the tires situation isn't a big deal.
You own a shop now???

And nobody else caught that... WTF?

You know We Love you Custm2500 But, This thread is like "A guide to winning..."

In all honesty, the rims themselves do look better, but the rubber band tires need to go as stated before...

You said you de-cranked the Front and Bagged the Rear. Do you plan on bagging the front at some point?

I would think it would ride better with a dropped spindle and air bags versus de-cranked torsion bars.

De cranked rides just like factory. I need to get pancake bump stops to replace the factory just so event the largest of bumps it doesn't bottom out. I had my tahoe de cranked for 2 or 3 years without an issue. My fiance rode it the truck regularly and trust me if it wasn't smooth should wouldn't have ridden in the truck.

As for the crap on the dash it is mostly paperwork that certainly needs filed. I usually clean it off ever other week or so.

I love that every response has "the tires have to go" and they will very soon. I knew they were little from the pics and knowing this guy but again they serve an immediate purpose. I can say I am amazed how well they ride with literally no sidewall. But in have already bumped a curb twice and he had a few tiny curb rashes on them after only a month.
