I test drove a LT yesterday with a 6” procomp lift, 20” wheels, and 35” MTs. I’m not really into the 6” lift, I would prefer a 3”, but I wanted to test drive it to see how it felt with such a big lift and tires. I was actually really surprised by how smooth the ride was. The 5.3 was no rocket ship, but it didn’t feel dogged down either. After seeing what you guys said, and test driving it im starting to feel like the 5.3 is the way to go.

Had Rams with the 5.7 Hemi for the last two trucks, and now I’m thinking about getting a trail boss, or RST which ever is more affordable for what I want. I love the hemi and feel the 5.3 lacks some acceleration so I was thinking about getting my first diesel, but I’m not sure if it will be worth it. It looks like I would only save a few bucks at the pump, and I’m sure cost for the diesel option won’t be cheap. Would you guys go for the 3.0 over the 5.3, and why?
