The_Kat Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 So your gonna have to wait on the afters. Here she is all stock. Tomorrow it's getting the lift...sometime this week my rims should arrive. As soon as they get here I'll have em mounted. I'll be sure to post pics of the lift when it is done tomorrow. Here it is now with stock tires, no lift, just your normal ole dodge ram! Pre bath with my dog Joe Joe. Post Bath minus Joe Joe. And the rubber!

Shaun_300 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Are those used tires Kyle? Don't look like much meat on them. Nice lookin truck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Not a bad looking truck Kyle. I'm saving now to buy myself a new truck once I reach my first duty station. Good luck with those Nitto's. My buddy had a set of Terra Grapplers on his Dodge. When the truck had 14k miles on it, they were worn out already.

The_Kat Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Are those used tires Kyle? Don't look like much meat on them. Nice lookin truck though. Yes they are used. I couldn't decide on Mud Grapplers or Trail Grapplers and I found this set of half treads for 300$ on craigslist to try out. The one tire is really bare, but the other 3 are about half tread. Considering they cost over 300$ each new I thought it was a good deal to test them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 That's gonna look good. You need to find a big mud hole to take it through when it gets finished to see what it has. I put my mud tires on my Durango I found a big mud hole just to make sure the tires performed,they still perform beyond expectations but make alot of road noise. The noise can be put up with for the trade off of the performance. You made a good choice of tires,can't wait to see finished pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Got the level done today along with my exhaust. I ended up running dual straights....SHES LOUD!!!! Pic of duals... I'm ready to get the aftermarker rims/tires on it. I was a little dissappointed by the height gain....only two inces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks good Kyle. Straights? I had a 60 series Flowmaster, single inlet/double outlet with turn downs on my other Dodge. I could drive thru parking lots and set off car alarms, no joke. Yours is gonna look sweet with those tires and rims on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes straights as in NO MUFFLER, just straight pipes after the cats. Truthfully it's too loud, and borders ridiculous. I'll prolly throw some cherries on it in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Good looking ride there Kat. I'll bet with no mufflers it's loud. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 i have a single glass pack on my dodge with a 4.7l. I always make my girlfriend mad because everytime i leave her house, i let out the clutch on my pickup and accelerate and set off the alarm on her pickup. its loud but not obnoxious and it actually sounds really good for just a sincle glass pack.

Chrud Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes straights as in NO MUFFLER, just straight pipes after the cats. Truthfully it's too loud, and borders ridiculous. I'll prolly throw some cherries on it in a couple weeks. My buddy's Silverado has a similar setup. And yes, it is borderline ridiculous. The loudness is cool, but the quality of the sound really suffered after a while. Now it is just a very loud series of pops. I have a single glasspack on mine and then it splits. It's pretty loud on start-up and acceleration, but not too bad at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I can't wait to see it with the tires and wheels on it! That's when you'll notice the difference. With the kit and bigger tires it should be about 3-4" taller than stock. I have the same exhaust set up on my Chevy...duel pipes from the exhaust manifold and two converters with no mufflers. It's actually not bad from inside unless you really get on it. It is a little noisy if your the car behind me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The only time it sounds trashy to me is in 3rd gear.....take off is awesome, and cruising speed sounds good too. But right when its around 3rd gear in the 45-55 mile an hour range it sounds like poopy. Like I said I'm gonna give it about two weeks and then prolly put a glasser on it....12 inchers maybe.

okiedog Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Kyle did you do the level kit or have someone do it? I have thought about adding one to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I had it done, but could have done it myself easy. Alls they did was lift the torsion bar and put in aftermarket keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks good. I got a similar exhaust set-up too. No cat, 1 glass pack, and chrome pipes out the back. Yours looks pretty good, can't wait to see it with the new tires. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Looks good man! I had my F-150 leveled a couple years ago. It makes a huge difference in appearance and ability to run larger tires. Here is a before and a couple after pics of mine.
