Time to ditch the run flats ...

Why would I do that? One bad luck nail so the tire couldn’t be repaired doesn’t mean you switch tires. The tire did it’s job and I was able to drive to the tire shop on it with no issues…kind of the reason to have run flats.

I might gripe…but price tags don’t keep me from getting what I want. If they did I’d have a $200 stereo system instead of a $20K one. lol

Finally mounted my bora spacers 1.25" front and 1.5" rear. Had to buy my own tools because local tire shop didn't want to do it.

Because tires protruding from the wheel wells are illegal, right?

I have searched for a thread like this on this forum. If I missed it somehow or it's in a different location then please point me in the right direction. I've been a member of several and currently a member of 5thGenRams for my Ram 1500 Limited. I have always enjoyed this type thread because it gives a single location to see what others are doing and I think it's a great way to get and share ideas. I'll start it with something simple and we'll see where it goes. I know some have already gotten a big head start, so feel welcome to post your yesterday too.

Didn't think so, but was hoping. I've seen the youtube videos and may consider the tune when it gets broken in a little more.

UNBROKEN, I went through your build page and that's where I have gotten some ideas from. For example, I love the removal of the rear wiper but my wife says she uses it. If it helps her see things behind her, then it stays. I appreciate the interest in this thread and this is what I think it's for. Members can play catch up for those of us new to the forum.

Yes local tire shops have rules about questionable mods! I figured this because I lived in a society all my life.

FORD states 1,000 miles for break-in, which they say is "avoid driving at high speeds, heavy braking, aggressive shifting or using your vehicle to tow."
Nothing about flooring the accelerator. But don't worry, the guy who test drove the car before you bought it already "broke it in" for you. ;)

Very minimal poke and where I live in Canada it isn't a big deal. Almost every truck here has considerable poke on their set up. Again mine is minimal.
