No problem. When I ordered mine, they had this style and the "classic" style with the sheet metal across the bottom like everyone has

Bull Doggin is a Ferd thing....and it needs to stay that way...lol

And its also a chevy thing, I see alot of chevy's around here with the bulldog stance.

Damn Mark that was a pretty damn good price for the tires, and they look freaking amazing on your truck, deffinitely way better than 265s lol. The truck looks much better and I agree you should atleast put a 1 inch block in the rear IMO

For some reason dodge coil spacers actually give more lift than stated. I have exactly 2 inch spacers in the front of my truck and It provided me with 3+ inch of lift for some reason. I'm deffinitely not complaining and I had the bulldog stance so I put 2 inch blocks in the rear and now I sit with a slight rake of about half an inch or 1 inch, Idk if its different in the 2nd gen cause I have a 3rd gen.

I think it's just a Ram thing lol. Before the spacers, the front end sat a little less than 2" lower than the rear. I haven't measured it yet, but the front looks to be around 1 1/2" or more taller than the rear. I'll go get measurements in the morning when I take some better pics

When you put the block in the back, did you notice any difference in ride quality? I know a 1" block won't change much, if any. I'm just kinda weary of them because I still use my truck as a daily and I'd like to keep from jarring my toddlers teeth out lol

I have over 10 inches of lift, and my truck rides smooth for what it has. Jay has been in it a few times you can ask him even...

I doubt you would even notice if you blocked it

The only thing I've ever ridden in that had a block lift rode like crap. I did notice that the rear end sagged quite a bit with the 300lbs of tires in the rear so I'll probably be better off with a helper spring or AAL anyways. Hopefully, they'll be a lot of trailer towing goin on this summer

Guess it is a ram thing (I'm sure as hell not complaining about more lift than expected)

Well like I said I put in a 2 inch block in the rear and I'm actually still riding stock shocks in the rear (I'll eventually get new ones to match the front) and I will say it did not change my ride quality at all. It still rides as it did before even with the stock shocks extended out the way they are. I'm just sure with new shocks would ride better. I also use my truck as a daily driver btw, you will be absolutely fine with a 1 inch block, but there are other alternatives such as add a leafs but I hear they stiffen up the ride quality.
