2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab - Fit & Trimmed - Four Wheeler Magazine
From the day Todd Farrand purchased his Cummins-powered 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, he wanted to fit the truck with minimal lift and 40-inch tires. “The truck was the tow rig for the toys (a Jeep),” Farrand says. When it did happen, it took place in stages and actually included even-larger 41. 5-inch tires. “I cut into the body two years into the loan process to fit some 38-inch tires and wheels a friend had laying around. Eventually, Farrand says he started building with the intent to fit a 40-inch tire. “The finished Dodge Ram 2500 truck was going to be debuted at the fullsize run in Moab 2013. The gears and fender trimming was done with the 40s in mind. At the last minute, a friend offered up some 41. 5-inch Pit Bull Rockers, so of course I said ‘heck yes. The rocks of Moab showed how much the truck needed some bumpstops. We managed to hit all the trails that week and make it home with minimal damage to the fenders,” Farrand says. Power is routed through the stock 48RE transmission (fit with a Mag-Hytec aluminum pan to increase lubrication capacity and improve cooling) and the stock NP271 T-case before being sent to the axles via the stock driveshafts.
