Re: Just bought my first PW
They always look the best the first week. I just put some new backwoods pin striping on mine a few days ago... with a 2" you can fit 35s purty easy. Just make sure its rated for a PW and not a regular 2500 cause then you wouldn't really be getting a lift out of that.

Re: Just bought my first PW
As with most things, you can spend a little or a LOT on these trucks. Depends on what you are trying to achieve.
Cheapest best lift:

Option B:
http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=2& ... =2005-2007... .......best flex i think.

Incase anybody didn't notice, on the bds site they say a PW specific swaybar is included... I think thats a typo and its just the swaybar end links.

Re: Just bought my first PW
Sweet but have to disagree with the statement they always look best the first week you get them. My truck looks awesome compared to when I first got it. Yes it has more dings, dents, scratches (adds character) but it has transformed from a truck into an Offroad BEAST! Congrats again on the purchase and don't sell it. Bad case of that going around. Need to find a cure fast!

Bwahahahahaha I have a brand new set, complete with all install hardware and directions.
Torture would not make me sell them.
Not tellin where exactly i live.
They are guarded from a good distance
Even at night.
In all seriousness, the aftermarket ones are as good or better than the factory ones.
