Just some pic's of a job we had in the shop today.
Thought some of you may find it interesting.
WARNING ----- THESE PIC'S CONTAIN A DODGE RAM.....
Well if your still interested, A customer wanted his 2001 Ram 1500 lifted and leveled.
He also wanted to increase his tire size from the OE - P245/75R16. He wanted bigger but not crazy big. so we went with LT285/75R16.
I told him before he orders anything he needs to bring in his truck so we could check it out.
There's nothing worse than a customer coming in with a $500 suspension kit only to find out he has other front end problems such as ball joints. It's an unwelcome expense.
Well we checked then entire truck for him and it was immaculate Not a loose part or anything.
The customer had a Tuff Country lift picked out. I was impressed with the kit. It was packed properly and contained everything we needed right down to the grease fittings.
Here's the kit. 3" lift for the front, 2" for the rear, plus new shocks.
Well my tech was working faster than me. He had the truck up on the lift before I could get a good before shot. This was the best I got.
These are his stock tires.
Here's the tires he/we picked. He wanted snow traction. These will definitely do it.

Lift plus new tires = HAPPY CUSTOMER
All and all it took about 7 hours with the alignment. Looks pretty good.
