Mine handles awsome for a big truck and my rpm's are low. 6th and 37's at 100km is 1700 rpm. its nice at 120 under 2000 rpm and lots of power
What are you going to do about driveline vibration from the front?

What dive line vibration. I have never had a problem with any vibration. I have also just recently installed a EMS hub conversion kit which also helps. but even with the hubs locked it does not vibrat going down the road.

I was refering to when you are going to add the spacer making it 8in on the suspension side. I have heard of people having problems when they get that high, unless you already have an indexing ring or c.v's.

Well since I have the manual front locking hubs it does not matter. I dont use 4wd very often and once my hubs are unlocked, nothing turns up there. I know what you meen now, I might have a set of spacers and blocks for cheap as my buddy had it dont to his truck(07 6.7 mega with 6" BDS and 2" spacer) and he just lost his front pinion seal coming back from sleddin. So he is taking it out. But everything still turns in the front of his truck still unlike mine. Besides i might use 4WD 2 or 3 times a month.

Nice, did you get custom center caps to cover the hub sticking out? Unless they are not on in those pics.

Well, not sure really....I would like another Dodge, but am not dead-set on my decision. As for what I do with it, I may not mod it at all, at least not power wise.....aside from maybe an intake and exhaust. I may just put on some nice wheels and tires and call it good.......who knows ya know!

So far the only parts I am making available to anyone are the wheels and tires. See my other thread on 3rd gen alloys for details.

I have a friend with an 03 who is going to buy some if not most of my parts. What he does not buy I may sell or keep for my next truck.
