Thank you! Wasn’t sure since I couldn’t find any guys running that wheel on a TRX. Pleased with the look. I will wear out these OEM tires and then upgrade to 37s.

No. Had a pro do it near my house. He kept it overnight so it could cure indoors. Really happy with results!

What brand of coating did he use? My guy does awesome work but a 9 year Gtechniq Ultra, everything w paint correction, glass and wheels also is $2500. 5 year $1500.

Not sure……comes with 5 year guarantee. I take it back in a year and they test it to make sure all is still good. If not, they will apply more/fix. Repeat every year. My guy is legit and does a great job. Very happy with results.

Quick parking lot pic today since a just cleaned her up!

There’s a telescoping wheel? I wasn’t aware. Mine hasn’t delivered yet. My 2500 didn’t have a telescoping wheel.

Exactly. I was shocked too

Some pics of mine after a buddy of mine and me did paint correction and ceramic. It’s wild to me people are paying for others to do this. It’s not hard just time consuming but it hugely therapeutic and instant gratification

Thought I’d share some new exterior mods
PPF on entire truck stealth on roof and lower
Gloss everywhere else (PPF a must imo with black paint)
Smoked mirror signals
1in level
37x13.5 18 BFG ko2
Fuel rush +1 18x9
Only gained 3lbs per corner from OEM setup
Weather tech mud flaps
Backflip bed cover
TRX and hellcat badging instead of Ram
Re decal OEM decal hood and bedsides
BAD MPGS Texas plate

So far happy with my setup

Ordered my ‘23 TRX in “diamond” black and was just wondering what y’all are using to wash it and dry it to prevent swirling or scratching?

PPF the whole truck and no need to worry about those issues

How much to PPF the entire truck?

$6k
12 year warranty
Significantly thicker than a vinyl wrap

Also did a layer of ceramic

 

[silvesterj81]

Yes still have them only 2500 miles on tires

Any performance loss with setup?

Was the 1 inch level necessary to make sure there’s no rubbing? And I’m assuming that’s just 1 inch in the front?

 

[silvesterj81]

I’m sure there is but I can’t tell.
I believe Trunity on the forum with a similar set up lost .2 sec 0-60.

Trucks handles great with a wider stance. Tires are about .75in wider and the offset in about .75in farther out than stock

So far gas mileage is only .5mpg worse based on the trucks computer

Yes.

You could probably go stock suspension but would need to pinch weld the metal on inside wheel wells with some plastic trimming if turning to full lock

Stock offset would probably work.

I did not want to change the ride much from stock

It just an Icon front top strut spacer not preload collar

About as mild as possible to clear without rubbing.

I also park in my garage so I wanted the best setup to look aggressive and still fit in the garage.
