Picked up the wheels. These were "Sport" wheels (with the machined face). They had a little rash when I bought them. The wheel shop I took them to is no joke. It's not a simple powder coating shop. They do full wheel restoration (repair rash, bends, cracks, etc). These things look better than new!

If you're in the Tampa area, Glenn's Wheel Polishing.

Stock 22" tire size. No lift. No level. No plans for either.

Like the look of those wheels with the Hydro blue. I have the same wheels on my billet silver night edition.
I live in the Tampa area as well. Does Glenn's make you unmount the tires before you take them? I want to get my wife's CX-9 wheels blacked out.

Wife got me a new jack for the truck for Christmas so decided to try it out: it's a BushRanger X-Jack that you can inflate while on the trail using your exhaust or air compressor. Before use, you have to inflate/deflate a few times to get it stretched out and ensure no leakage. After doing that, I tested it under load and figured out I still need some extra lift under the jack as it almost lifted the rear but not quite high enough to clear the lift and larger tires. Luckily, I also received some recovery trax that I now store in the bed of truck and can use underneath the jack to give me another couple of inches to clear the tires.

BushRanger X-Jack inflatable jack system:







ORCISH Recovery Traction Boards secured along inside of bed; great for getting out of loose sand and/or using for providing a base for the inflatable jack:

Edit: Replaced photo for better quality

Can’t wait to hear how you like the graphene coating.

I have the 303 Aero on mine and it is doing great. Smells terrible though. Reviews of the new TW Graphene look good and it does not have the chemical smell.

That’s a cool and really handy gift. Never seen anything like that before! Wife did great on the gift man!

They are fully equipped to dismount/mount/ balance.

I dropped off the wheels, four new tires and four sensors. They had them ready to bolt onto the truck when I arrived to pick them up.

I pulled in with my "old" wheels/tires and drove out with the "new" ones.

Organized garage a bit so I can park inside. Just makes it with about 6” to wall and 12” to door.

Got the new shoes put on. 285/55R22 Toyo AT3’s. With the 2” level up front I haven’t noticed any rubbing at full lock in forward and almost full lock in reverse. On the highway it handles like it’s on rails now compared to the p-rated factory tires. (Which we looked up in the system and were literally the cheapest tire available in the factory size). As a bonus my vibration is now totally gone up to 75mph so far, and there’s just a light hum that lets you know there’s some actual tread under you. After 3 sets of Terra Grapplers on my Titan’s, I’m looking forward to how these compare.

Hey PHFT, just got my Noco and was looking at the exact same spot ! lol.. Did you run another cord between the Noco and the heater plug?

Yeah I got another 14 gauge extension cord and cut the end off of the cord and the NOCO and spliced them together, but the cord I got was too short and I still had to run the heater block cord under the truck, I suggest finding a 20ft+ 14 gauge extension cord that way you can run the cord all the way into the engine bay and just plug it in, I plan on doing that in the summer once the snow is gone.

Those look good! Go figure the factory tires are the cheapest available tire... truck is looking good.

Not today but new to this community. I bought my Ram a couple weeks ago. I have had an Explorer for the past few years do to my commute. I bought my first boat, a Sea Pro 239 CC, and really need (and missed having) a truck! This is my fifth Ram. I had a 1997, 1999, 2003, and a 2007 Ram 1500.
