I have some 18x9.5 +18 (6" BS) Vision Raptor wheels waiting to put some rubber on...debating on 3" lift with 37's or just a 2" level and trying to make 37's fit in there. I prefer having the wheel well be more full versus the truck sitting higher up over the tires.

Here is my truck with the factory 2" factory lift and 37" tires. The coils, shocks, and trackbar are for sale if you're interested LINK.

Appreciate the offer but I'm going to go with some new Thuren stuff.

Looks great man!
What gears are you running and what kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
Are you running any kind of tuner or performance upgrades?

That's the gears I'm running in my 2014 Mega.
Hell I'm lucky to get that mileage with stock suspension and stock wheels running 285/75R18 Toyo AT2.
My truck is heavy with the Mega cab and full Ramboxes. Plus I have a Hemi foot problem. I love hearing the sound of the 6.4 with the Flowmaster 50 HD and exhaust dumped after the axle with no resonator.
Your truck looks awesome man. The Thuren lift is definitely the way I will go when I lift it.

This stance is unacceptable, can't wait til I convince the wife that a need better springs and 37's haha. I've found that the key is to always bring it up, that way she gets used to the idea of it happening and there's little resistance.

The Thuren springs are almost the same spring rate as the PW factory springs. The PW track bar is the same length you will adjust the Thuren bar to. I like the Thuren lift but it's not a huge ride improvement over the PW system unless you buy custom Kings, boogies, etc. The main difference is the front Thuren spring is 1.5" taller while the rear is identical. If you get Thuren front springs you have to buy the rears also because the front is +3.5" on a stock 2500 hemi.

The new springs for the 6.4 will be out soon and I don't think those are 3.5", I'm assuming 2.5" like the normal diesel ones.

You saw my pictures right?

RAM_Designs · Sep 22, 2016

Figured you were just running the diesel coils that give more lift with the 6.4

Dmopar74 · Sep 22, 2016

So it's possible, but is it worth it?

If you like the look, I don't see why not.

What kind of rpm's are you seeing at highway speeds with those 4:10 gears?

Hey, wondering to those who put jusy a 2" level and 37's on, how did it go? Any trimming or plastic molding need to be done? What kind of offset are you running? And what kind of tire? I have a 2015 Ram 2500 with the Cummins in it with a 2.5" level in front and a 2" in the rear. I'm looking at some 20x10 rims with a -25 offset and 37" toyo open country r/t's. Just looking for things I need to look for, thanks!

You won't fit 37's on 20x10 -25 offset wheels with just a leveling kit. You either need more height, a narrow wheel with a positive offset, or smaller tires.

zeddy · Oct 12, 2016

what about 18x9 w/ 0mm offset?

Mr6seven · Oct 12, 2016

Curious though, I'm not a truck expert like this. I am a milwright so I'm good at working on things and making them work. But I had a 2013 ram 1500 that I stacked a level on so it was about a 3 to maybe 4 inch level and easily fit 35's on. The truck I have now (Ram 2500 Cummins) sag factory about as high as that truck, so with the new level in it, is it the offset stopping the 37" tire, or will it just not fit at all? Would a 20x9 wheel with a -12 offset work better?

I've really been looking into putting 37's on my truck. From everything I've read, it doesn't matter if you're stock height or levelled. You need a 9" wide wheel with a positive offset +18 to +30ish and a back space of 5" or more. With a bit of trimming to the pinch weld at the back of the fenders you'll fit no problem.

Do you know if it's trimming of the plastic or of the actual bumper?

2 inch level and 37s?
