I met a forum member, as he sold some Big Horn wheels to me- it s a welcome upgrade over the steelies.
He recommended that I join, so boom. Here I am.

Congratulations on your Ram and picking up the Bighorn wheels. Not 100% positive but your steel wheels may have some resale value for those looking to replace their temporary spare. There is a buy/sell area on this forum if you opt to go that way.

 

[WreckerRC]

Good to know. I may go that way. I plan on keeping the tires, as they are the Bridgestone HTs.

If they are the Bridgestone ones, you may want to unload those also. My first week with them and I ended up with two flats. The next month a third flat. The day after that(4) new Continental tires...

Congrats and welcome to the forum ! You will find all kinds of information here.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations!!

Pls add your truck's vitals to your signature when you have a moment.
This makes it easier for other folks to help in case you have questions or concerns about your vehicle.

I hope not. I was hoping to get 30 to 40k between the GYs i got with the Big Horn wheels and the Bridgestones. Then Falken Wildpeak AT3W will go on.

Welcome and congratulations on your new truck

Welcome to the forum. Those wheels will look much better on the truck than the steelies and lighter.

@Moe1962 sold me the wheels!

He was thououghly entertained when I put them on immediately in the Walmart parking lot

A 3 ton not Harbor Freight jack and Kobalt 24v brushless 1/2 in impact for the win!

Welcome to the forum!

I ordered a Tyger T1 Tonneau. DidnI make a good purchase? I had a Bestop on my Silverado for 5 years.

The lugs are supposed to have a torque of 130 ft/lbs., any idea how the Kobalt does? My DeWalt 1/2" is on the cusp.

Good to know the tq spec. I figured it was 100. Ill confirm with my tq ratchet. I figure itll be real close. We put on my father 2500 wheels no problem with it

 

[PorBoy]

^^^^. May I ask what you’ll be towing with this ?

I find the torque settings for lug nuts can vary, 2006 Honda Accord is 80 ft/lb while the Ram is 130 ft/lb. I doubt tire shops concern themselves with the appropriate manufacturer's specification.
