they are on now and i will get some pics posted tonight... IT REALLY NEEDS LOWERED......How much did you drop yours? how did you accomplish it?
I've got mine lowered aprox. 3-3.5in. I used fabtech 3in tapered blocks and 2002 Ram lowered shackles in the rear. Lowered the front by uncranking the torsion bars, and used toxic lowered shocks on all four corners. I'm going to replace all the front bushings as soon as energy releases their poly bushing kit for 4x4's.

finally got them

Ok here it is!!!! IT DESPERATELY needs to be lowered. with them on NOW i am thinkin 3-3.5 inches... How does it ride with the torsion bars cranked all the way out???? i would think it would feel loose, but i dont know. ALSO go my new plate in the mail so of course i had to ge that on too!!!!

Only thing i dont like with the wheels is the center caps, i would like to find a nice VIPER logo to be able to put on each one. I was gonna do the stock center caps but they are smaller OBVIOUSLY!!!!

Yea dude, it def needs lowered. Mine doesn't ride too bad, obviously not as good as stock. I think once I get new bushings and balljoints it will be alot better.

what size tires were on your stock wheels and whats the condition of them, I need 2 rear tires for sure and the fronts are wearing in the edges, so probably four but i need like a 255/55 17 or something around there

Come on guys' who's up for a west phx., metro meet. I say Peoria or Glendale.You let me know. But us west siders have to get together. Instead of the always being on the internet. I'm sorry didn't mean to exclude you guys on the east side too.but we need to meet. Share stories in person, about shit, and just bullshit. :wave: Just let's settle on a date and time that is good for everyone. I am open for suggestions.

Peace, boB

SO its been a few months since i been here.... I havent done much YET because i keep having other issues (ie radiator, front drive shaft, and NOW the transfer case needs overhauled) any way i measured front height from ground to bottom of front wheel flares. measured at 34 in going to lower front to 30 3/4 in to get 3 1/4 inches.... I found a way to make it work with good bumps stops but is going to require a little cutting and welding. when i do it ill show you!

By the way anyone wheeled the broken arrow trail in sedona?
I have, but not in my dak, did all the optional trails and went UP the staircase at night:D 33's, armor + rear locker

I did run Soldiers Pass, and completed it with a 2wd:D I recommend hitting up both soldiers pass and broken arrow in the same day, the pink heaps will move out of the way for you.
