Well,.......ordered up my Ram the Ground Force 2" rear drop kit yesterday. Ordered from one of the vendors on the Ram forum.
I need that leveled out look. I HATE the raked look with a passion.

Tony - I gotta see these babies installed! How's your RAM currently?

Please don't get the Trackhawk! Too much money for what you get!

Hey bud!!!
I was all set to lay my truck down as a down payment, but like I mentioned in the text, they have issues and recalls. I'm set with that, ESPECIALLY if I'm buying a 90K vehicle, I want it to be perfect! PLUS, my dealership is marking them up. That sealed the fate on that. I was so set on getting one too. Would have loved to have such a fast beast as a daily driver. Oh well,.........

And yes,....it looks killer with the drop! Love it. I'll have to get some photos up after I can get her a little more cleaned up.
Sending in another payment in the mail early Monday morning on the way to work. No payment till July, 2019.

^ awesome stuff, Tony. Just wait till you get the "no payment" feeling for any vehicle/s you own. It's the best feeling in the world! For a few years now, all the monthly payments I would have had, been going to my car fund. I was going to pull the trigger this year, but will probably delay to next year now, in the hopes of saving even more for something even BIGGER

Thanks Burton!
Oh, I know the feeling Burton. I've paid off many cars in the past. lol
I'm all done with buying toys, and by toys I mean cars that are my non daily drivers. No more for me. (I say that now anyways,.......... lol)
I'll still splurge on daily drivers though as I did with my current truck. It's a rcsb, but it costs almost s much as some of the larger trucks.

Fixed!

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Funny stuff Gary.

I love the Ram pickup truck.

Stage_3

Thanks man.
I love the Ram trucks as well. This is my second one.

Here's my '16 Ram Sport 4X4 on the GF 2" rear drop.
(Not a great photo as my buddy took it this morning at work.)

Gabe

A little cleaned up for ya .... looks better leveled, that's for sure.
Personally I would've added height to the front to make it level that way, then some beefier tires, but different strokes for different folks ...

Stage_3

Thanks bro! I appreciate that.
The new money drop will be in tires. About $1,200 in tires alone. lol I'm getting the B.F. Goodrich KO2's either this up coming winter or next.
My next truck "may" be an extended cab, and if it is, I'm definitely doing a lift/level kit on it with wheels/tires. But, that's a long ways away.

Thanks again Gabe!

Gabe

The KO2's are great tires, also check out the General Grabber AT2, I have them on my Tundra and really like them, plus they look almost identical to the BFG, for less $$$$

Stage_3

Nice.
They definitely do look close to the KO2's. I probably won't buy till the end of this year or next. Depending on how these stock tires hold up. They're the stock Goodyucks. lol
They're not great in the snow. How are your General's in the snow?
I assume they are awesome and handle the snow really well!!

Gabe

Yeah most factory-fit tires are a compromise between performance, longevity, and cost.
The Generals have been really good overall. The Tundra is very light in the back, adding a couple hundred pounds of ballast would probably really help, even with 4wd.
I put a horse-stall mat back there, thick and heavy, and I can actually tell a difference, I can actually notice the extra weight. It's definitely not a heavy duty truck, but I knew that when I was buying it.
I've had the BFG's on my '01 Ranger and in 2wd that truck was useless in the snow. The Tundra is pretty much the same. Need 4wd to move in the snow. I also have no patience, so I might be stabbing the gas pedal a little harder than "absolutely necessary" lol.
For the savings I got over the BFG's I would totally buy the Generals again.

Stage_3

Awesome man. I'll have to check them out when it comes time to buy new tires.
Thanks for the info! "Hopefully" we're done with the 4X4 use for this winter.

Gabe

Yeah, hope so.
I just called to get the full insurance coverage reinstated on the Mustang starting tomorrow.
This week it'll get driven again!!

karman

I ran BFGs on my 03 Ranger 2WD and put 300Lbs. of sand over the rear wheels.
Ran great in the snow. I was passing the 4WD stock tires trucks everywhere.
Maybe it was the sand (Or maybe you might be stabbing the gas pedal a little harder than "absolutely necessary").

Stage_3

Awesome man!
Supposed to get some nice weather this week. I'll probably fire mine up this weekend, if it doesn't rain.

Gabe

I put about 40+ miles on mine today
