Post your transformation pics!!

Black Ram Hemi- what wheel/tire set do you use at the track?. . .your truck makes me wish i would bought the sport pakage.

Mickey Thompson ET Street (295/45R17 Radials) DOT approved
Wheels are 17"x9" MotoMetal 951's (-12 offset)

Hmmm...Sticky you say?

Well our trucks are always changing..sticky might be the way to go lol

I was thinking TruTrac and re-gear too (expensive for a 4x4), but the Drag Tires are just as effective for much less
The smaller tire dropped my gear ratio from 3.55 to 4.30 and with the sticky compound I can smash the gas pedal with full force from a dead stop at launch and will not peg leg, even with my open diff.

knocked over a half second off my 1/4 mile

plus I get the benefit of lowering the truck an additional 3"
Going 33" to 27" tire...turns my 2/3 drop into a 5/6 at the Track

I don't like lowered trucks, unless they are 4wheel drive, go fast and look like yours. Nice ride.

just thought about this, but after I finish a little more tinting and install an intake I'll be pretty much finished with my truck ...i mean i can think of pointless things to spend money on haha but kind of sad..Nothing else i want to do to it

Any suggestions? haha...have any of you guys upgraded the factory alpine sound system? That may be something I'll do down the road that would be worth the cash

I'm not thinking of random things to spend money on haha...i know a lot of things I would want to do, but they aren't really worth it i guess...(Train horn, tinted tails, painted headlights, powersteps, tuner,...it goes on lol) Just saying that I've put loads into it already and just think im done for good lol..but I have said this 3 times i think haha

You'll never be done for good

I knew i shoudn't have joined this forum haha

That wouldn't be as expensive for me, im only 2wd. but hell If i can pick up a wheel set up like yours, and some drag tires for less then ill just do that for a while if it takes that much time off your E.T. Plus sticky enough to get a good launch? hmmmmm

The only thing the alpine systems needs, IMO, is more bass. I think the system as it is now is pretty good, would be great with a larger sub.

Those are all worth it... well not the powersteps... save your money. If someone can't get in your truck just get them a ladder

You'll never be done for good. I keep trying to tell myself I'll stop and save for a while (for the lift), but then things just keep coming up. Once I get the exterior done the way I want I really will hold off for a while before I move on to any interior changes. As in maybe years...

Well tinted tails would be pretty cheap if you did it your self... $20-$30 for all the things you need, and it would look great with that color

Yeh true guys...Only reason I'm against tinting my tails is that i figure cops would be bugging me about them all the time idk..maybe if they werent so dark they would be ok

We'll see how holding off goes lol...upgrading the sub may be the way to go
