0812 8L 02 2007 Dodge Ram Laramie Slt Differential
Small children and pets run for cover when pulling up to the rear of this Dodge. As if the paint wasn’t intimidating enough, the stance is high enough to show the trick Mag-Hytec differential covers. These attract any metal particles to the edges and keep them from grenading the rearend.
When Steve Lyons acquired his loaded ’07 Dodge Laramie SLT, the first thing he did was go straight to 4Wheel Parts in Broomfield, Colorado, and have it skyjacked. Then he drove straight across town to Performance Wheel and Tire and had the rubber and rims fitted. After that, he waited a while before having Motorsport Concepts apply the wicked airbrush job. Then he had the engine upgrades sorted as the last step to completing his daily driver, which, by the way, is also used to haul his 26-foot Daytona boat or his hunting trailer, depending on the season. Sounds like a straightforward enough story, right?

Steve installed the Superchip on his engine. Thanks to that, and the better breathing abilities acquired from the AFE cold-air intake and the 5-inch exhaust, the Dodge is estimated at 500-plus hp.

2007 Dodge Ram Laramie Slt Front Wheel
The hoops are 22-inch Rozzis. These industrial-looking 12-spoke rims match up to the exterior’s theme of “deadly gambling/high-roller,” especially when wrapped with the 37x12.5-R22 Toyo meats.

2007 Dodge Ram Laramie Slt Bilstein Shocks
The stance is elevated to that of high-roller thanks to a 6-inch Rancho lift kit and Bilstein shocks. Retractable running boards from AMP Research help make entry and exit easier.
While the exterior is thoroughly upgraded, the cabin is surprisingly stock, devoid of dice, ink pens, or skulls. Well there is one example of a human appendage—a bone, as in bone-stock.
