2016 Ram 1500 eco-diesel Laramie

[Coolhand]

I have owned the truck for about a year now and have finally gotten around to starting the build. This will be a mild build as this is my daily driver and most of my trips involve lots of hwy miles. The truck has HID head lights and fogs and LED high beams as of today. There are 4 or 5 mods that will start tonight and progress over the next few days.

Enjoy...

Stay tuned...

Actually the most important was getting out on the trail for the first time with my girls.

Finally got some shoes on. 295/65r20 Toyo AT2 extreme. Loving the ride and the new look.

I am sure a big improvement over the junk factory tires

Ya the Goodyear's that came on it were terrible. Totally shot at 27k

Wow. Yeah I can only imagine, I have 17k on mine and they already don't look happy. They just need to last till I can do my lift, wheels and tires. It is amazing how junky factory tires are now a days from pretty much all manufacturers.

I’m on my second Ram. Had the same issues. The Goodyear SRA’s are junk. I went with mastercraft AT’s and they seem ok for now. I’m following because I want to build my 2018 Ram 1500 as well

Here's a few pics from this weekends trip to the ONF. We saw a lot of widelife, several deer, a gopher Turtle, some Grey squirrels, some gators but most exiting was the black bear we jumped while out on a jeep trail. Enjoy.

Great looking truck! Did you level the front end as well? Any rubbing issues with the new tires?

 

[Coolhand]

Thank you @kilosierraxray. I raised it up an 1 1/2" with the leveling links and I do have a bit of rubbing, but nothing a heat gun can't take care of.

I have air suspension so I still have an additional 2" to play with offroad.
