**UPDATED PICS POSTED BELOW - SCROLL DOWN****


I've been trying to take some nice pics of the new setup but the weather has been crappy every time that I have an opportunity. Here are some quick pics. I'll get better ones at some point.

Wheels: Vertini RF1.3 in Gloss Black 22x10.5
Tires: Toyo Proxes ST III 285/40/22
Springs: Eibach Pro Kit 28108.540
Exhaust: Borla S-type

I ordered the non load leveling shocks but I'm having issues getting them installed. Please see this thread if you have any advice.

Apologies for the attachment links. I'm a noob and can't figure out how to have the pics post as images.

Great looking R/T, the stance is perfect with those 22's.
If you want the exhaust tips to stand out, paint the back of the mufflers black or dark gray.

Agreed, setup looks GREAT! Nice job

 

[DSRT EMIL]

Looks great, will definitely look better with the rear lower.

Question, are those side mirror covers or did you have them painted/wrapped?

Mirrors on trucks with the Blacktop package are gloss black.

Thanks. Yeah, my plan is to eventually get them powder-coated black.

I purchased the Durango with the Blacktop package. That was part of it.

Jealous. I bought the eBay black covers and they fit like shit. I went to have the side mirrors wrapped but it had to be done in 2 pieces and looked like shit too. I wanted something reversible but now looks like painting is the only option.

Wow looks great.

Any change in ride quality after installing the springs and non LL shocks?

No, I haven't noticed any change yet.

No, I haven't noticed any change yet.

Looks nice!

Any update on the ride quality after living with the vehicle with the new springs and non LL shocks for a while?

Thanks. Ride quality is good. I don't have any issues. I still only rub in the front when I hit big dips.

I created my own issue but doing the Brembo upgrade. These wheels don't clear the Brembo calipers in the front.

Thanks for the update.

You could fix the issues with your Brembos with some SRT wheels.

I went with the Hellcat reps in 22x10 +45 for now until I find a new set to run with. These Hellcats will become my winter set.

[R/T Durango]

Looks hot! What non LL shock you got? Are any shocks better/recommended or run lower than others?

I went with the stock mopar non load leveling shocks. I'm not sure but I don't think there are any other reliable options.
