Your truck looks good now. But, if you are thinking about the 22.5s, the auto will work ok. A manual trans makes it a little easier, but the 4.10 gears will help with getting them rolling. I personaly like the 22.5s and I wouldn't have anything else on my ride.

Thanks for the comments guys
GOODEYSNIPER75 here are some interior pics of the interior and frame mods.
Also i was not impressed with the mounting plates ROADARMOR sent with our bumpers so i welded in big gussets was your mounting hardware that puny 3/16 plate??
Pics are all the diamond plate accents i made plus my homemade speaker box and a pic of my 100 psi air hose outlet in the cab.

For STACKED97 & FERSTUS
heres the tank info
Hope these pics help and no the rear tank does not effect the stock hitch I use mine all the time. You can see how i connected the tanks to each other just like in a boat 2" hose on top and bottom keeps them the same level. There are a few bafles in them for sloshing. Just a simple swich in the cab for your transfer pump and i have an extra fuel guage. You can see how i connected the vents together and then ran a 3rd vent up into my inner bed so i can tranfer with no problems while driving. Only compalint is our dodge fuel guages take so long to read the 5gpm pump fills the stocker way faster than the stock guage will read it. Hope this helps yall le me kjnow if you want pics of somthin else. Also it rides allot smoother with 7 or 800 pounds of fuel in the tanks.

That's Festus I say(J/K!)......and thanks.
With this idea, I'm going to have to crawl under the truck and see what kind of room I have (maybe passneger side?) - having space in the bed of a MegaCab already is a drawback, so spare should stay underneath.

I think you can make it work on the PS just gotto wach the exhaust over there. even in front of the stocker theres room for 20 gal or so i think.

Thanks for the pics Kenny, and nice setup!
Ill probably fab up something like you did for the rear soon, I cant do one on the passenger side of the truck just because I have exhaust running along there(I also have a stack setup, but I keep alternating

No problem
HEY PERFORMANCE
do you know how much lighter the aluminum 22.5s are compared to the steel onse. also did you have any balancing or wobleing issues? I love your open mouth grill shell thought about it but my bumper kinda hides it.
Thanks for the info

Im runnin BFG M/T 35X12.50r17s they are actualy wearing really well considering there on a 6"rim I took a picture of the spacers for you but you couldnt see anything so it wanst worth posting. ive had the truck over 100mph with em and they ride really smooth. Road force balancing helps allot. Were you thinking body lift or suspention?

Wow could you fill me in on your exhaust set up please.
Here are the piccs of the rear wheels for ya They dont stick out that far but it looks so mean. They throw allot of water in the rain but i love it. Just make sure if you get spacers you dont gt those aluminum ones they should not be allowed to be sold billet steel all the way.
