Nice, I like it. What kind of mods do you have planned for it, you do know that bigger is better

Nice, I like it. What kind of mods do you have planned for it, you do know that bigger is better I the near future I'm going to add some 2" tuff country spacers and some rancho shocks (haven't decided on which ones but probably the RS9000). A trac bar drop bracket and maybe a pitman arm drop too (I'll see how the steering feels first). Then I'm thinking its time for some offroad tires (probably Swamper SSR 33X14.50R16's) and some rims (MT classic II's or the AR Atlas) so I'll have the A/T's for the street and the SSR's for wheelin. On down the road a 3" PA body lift (cause like you said bigger is better) for more flexing clearance. Since I have my sway bar disconnected I could rub under flex/turn with those 33X14.50 pretty easily. I'm thinkin winch too especially when wheelin that big rig.

On the front of those dodges the suspension is almost identical to an XJ/ZJ setup. I think dodge coppied it after buying AMC. So I know they should be able to flex good with the right mods. How are the Axles for strenght on those 1/2 tons? I have only been around 3/4ton Diesels, 60 front 70 rear Hate to scratch it up to bad, you should plan for some armor. Skid plates, rocker sliders, and ect...

Skid plates, rocker sliders, and ect... The half ton axles (dana 44) are adequate but nothing as strong as the dana 60 or 70. As for skid plates I have one over my t-case and one over the fuel tank. I probably will think about a front skid if I start wheelin and krawlin more but right now the trails I'm running are nothing too serious.

Its about time to see another dodge like mine out there 4 wheeling!!!!!!!! I bet the two of our trucks would make a good picture!!! And how do you like the offroad package??? And by the way that black is going to show alot of scratchs..... But don't worry you can see alot on mine too!!
