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.

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:

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.

Looks like you were lucky enough to get a truck with the original Mopar rock rails. They haven't been available since 2007, not many were ever sold, and they are all but impossible to find now. Great find!

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!

In all seriousness, the aftermarket ones are as good or better than the factory ones.
