Just got my wheels. AEV 17” Salta with Toyo 37x12.5
Thuren 3” front coils and Bilstein shocks until the Kings come. Rear is stock. I’m happy.

Very nice to see them tucked in the wheel wells, seems the trend is to be half out now. AEV bumper next on the list??

How much trimming in the front?

Seriously. I feel so confused as to why some people run 22x15” wheels w super wide stance... why tho.

Not sure on the bumper. Next is dechroming.
What's all involved with dechroming? Do you have a body shop sand off all the chrome then primer and paint? Or order replacement Mopar pieces?

Yeah it dropped the rear 2" I plan to install airlift system before the season starts. The RV isn't fully loaded and the truck only had a 1/4 of tank of gas.
I'm just afraid I'll have to raise the pin box or put blocks on the 5th wheel axles.

Hmmm.

Now I wish I had waited a few days for the larger tire size on my 303RLS when I replaced them (new). I could have picked up a little height moving to the 85 series.

I'm dead level now with my 04.5 2500 with +2 tires and airlift bags @30psi. Hoping the alt trailer height on the factory air will get me close without having to give anything up on the bed rail gap currently about 6.75" ish.

Yours looks like you have a ton of gap, 7-8" in which case dropping an inch wouldn't hurt at all unless you offroad it.

I am going to buy the new grill surround to have it painted, to make things easier. About $550 for the parts, if you shop around online. May take that much in labor to just prep the old ones and still risk problems long term. Also, gives some leeway if old chrome piece breaks on disassembly.

Otherwise i debadged the RAM door badges, and going to probably debadge the tailgate badges. The Cummins, 2500, and Ram head tailgate will all be black. I am kinda over the "black out" of everything, might try and "gray" out some parts and see how it goes.
