Going wingless makes the truck a lot more practical as a truck. I just take off the wing when I need too.

I dont think it will do anything different. It is more like for look only. I would leave it on.

The best thing I ever did was remove the wing from my truck. Trucks with wings are for cholos. The only thing this truck is missing is a limo boomerang antenna and 15" tires with gold spokes that stick out about 2 feet. Oh, and curb feelers.

Good to see that I'm making friends. Calm down, yanks, it was a joke.

i'm pretty sure there just teasin ya' I had the wing off my truck for a while
seemed slower. Could have also been my tonnau cover :rofl:
I think the wing is pretty much standard unbolt. However, i think it does have
sticky padding underneath so have some fishing line handy.

Tell me it ain't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dontknow:

 

[RedRamRules]

Wing was meant to add downforce during track-like conditions, so the wing is actually useless for day-to-day driving IMO. Just use the tool provided to remove two bolts (one on either side), slide the spoiler forward and off it comes.

I think the spoiler makes it easier to recognize an SRT-10 on the road sometimes.

 

[Nowwhat]

Take the wing off.....the wing makes the truck look like some Irish piece of shit drives it....

 

[Rice Eater]

Ditch the wing....cheapest mod you can do that will shave up to a half second off your 1/4 mile times.

Juan is right, the wing was designed for the RC without a bedcover in a wind tunnel by the NASCAR Truck Series engineers to help reduce drag and give downforce at race speeds. At our speeds, it does nothing but add good looks (opinion). I'm pretty sure that Brendan Gaughn would not have been very comfortable entering the turns without it when he set the world production speed record on the oval track.
By the way, the world record is held by a RED '04 RC.
