I recorded just about everything that had to be done to lay it out on a 32 inch tire. These guys have pretty much told you everything that needs to be done. Just a word of advice, don't rework the front crossmembers to get it to lay like D Menis was talking about. You can get them to lay true rail like that but it's alot more work than z-ing the frame. It took me 2 weeks to get mine totally rebuilt and functioning correctly. That was on jackstands, if I had a lift it would of been easier. Not to mention you have to totally rebuild both front crossmembers to get it to lay true. This includes moving the rack and pinion. Which can really mess up the suspension geometry if you don't know what your doing. Just z it 3 inches and you will be solid. The tank has to go. The factory tank cannot be raised enough to give you a safe amount of clearance. I make Dodge specific fuel cells, but at the time i'm not making any. I just bought a house and am swamped with it. I can however, get you a set of laser cut UCA brackets to raise the UCA's. Hit up my myspace for details. www.myspace.com/dragbycustomsThe UCA brackets come from Mindlissmetal. If you have anymore questoins just ask away.

and what is the size of your 20s and the backspacing? or offset.. whatever? it would be nice to not have to narrow this beast.

Here is a pic of my ram on 24's. It is z'd in the front with raised uppers. Still has alot of camber though. It is for sale if anyone is interested. Was on the cover of trucks magazine issue 41. All work done by devious customs. $19,000 firm http://www.dodgeforum.com/photo.asp?photoid=9368&asortType=6&apage=1
