Thought I had a thread on here, but I guess not.
Picked this bad boy up in Sept of '09. At the time, here are the stats and looks
2006 Dodge 3500
crew cab
long bed
4wd
5.9 Cummins HO
6spd manual transmission
73K and change
Here is whats been done over the last couple months.
Headache rack was getting pretty rusty, and the wheels had some spots of rust on them as well (stock steelies) so I went ahead and painted them.
Then it was time for new shoes.
2" leveling kit, and jumped from a 265/70/17 to a 315/70/17
Old front stance
Pulling the coils to put in the spacers. Job went pretty easily, took about 3 hours start to finish. Max decided to help :gap:
Coil spacer. I went with the pro comp kit, very easy to install, clear directions, very good product IMO. $135 from Summit.
Got pics of the truck after the levelling kit and before the new shoes on my g/f's camera, but not with me now.
New shoes:
