    Lets see some full size pictures...

    The lift is BDS Long Arm Kit, Its a 6 inch lift, but the Power Wagen comes with a 2-2.5 inch lift from the factory, so over factory it is 4 inches of lift....I believe. The lift comes with Fox shocks as well. I love the suspension very much. The ride is very smooth for a 2500 truck. The rear...

    Looking at a new Dodge, help me decide!!! (Power Wagon vs Cummins)

    Quick Update for mine, It is fixed and put back together. They want to keep it until tomarrow, while they test everything out and make sure it all good to go. They replaced the Pinion Gear Bearing. I am keeping my fingures crossed. I know that it will probably never be an issue again. In...
