Finished her up today. Only war wound, and it was a big one, was a crushed/broken pinky finger (slipped a torque wrench with all my weight and my pinky took the impact...spent the evening last night in the emergency room).

Daystar 2"/1" mild lift,
KMC 22" Wheels with 285/55R22 Terra Grappler G2s
Hellwig sway
Debadged
Black RAM on front grille
Black Rams head on the rear
Powder coated satin black tailpipes
Blacked out power hood
Westin HDX side-steps

Can you talk more about your lift? What made you settle on that? It looks level from the pictures but wouldn’t a 1” rear bring the rake back?

Once I actually received the truck and drove it for a little bit to settle the suspension, I had about a 1 3/4" rake. I wanted some rake even after the lift in order to haul to heavier things and not sag. So I settled on the 2"/1" lift, which has left me with about 3/4" rake which is just prefect for me.

Ok so factory rake for you was 1 3/4” so doing this reduced that by 1”. I like that idea. I don’t like a squatting truck while towing.

How do you like the sway bar? Was the difference noticeable?
