She looks really good on the new wheels and shoes. I'm surprised you're still rockin' the badges. I like how you cut the Hemi badge though. Now you just need to make a new sig pic. Truck looks great. :waytogo:

Thank you Cruizer, believe it or not those badges are all stock! I like the badges on mine though. there're not like new trucks where it makes it look like there's a lot going on the door


Wait a second... I'm posting from an iPhone?

I'm not a fan of larger lips. They look good on other trucks I see but personally I don't like for my tires to stick out far from the fender.

Thank you!

Truck looks awesome. I love the stance / wheel / tires

I also love the '09 HEMI badges.

Thank you for the reply on the other post. Your rig looks sick! I think I'm going to go with the Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/65R20 on my stock rims with the bilstein 5100s to make them fit. With a 34.1 inch tire, I'm thinking I shouldn't rub at all after reading your whole post. Thanks again.

So what is the offset for stock rims and if I upgrade to aftermarket rims, how much offset should I get to prevent rubbing?

If I'm not mistaken the stock offset is +18 or +19.

If you go +1 with 35" tall 12.50 wide tire you should be fine. My tires aren't quite 12.50 wide I rub the backside of the wheel well because of the previous owner messed up the inner wheel well. All I have to do is heat it up and remold it and rubbing is gone and or get a 4in lift.

I think you will be fine with the terra grapplers. They aren't as wide as the trail grapplers.

Love the stance. Just out of curiousity, did you have a spacer on when you were running those stock tires or just the bilsteins.

And what a beautiful color choice. Pretty much convinced me to just get the Bilsteins and call it a day.

Yep its set @ 2.1 and I have the bilstein in the rear as well but you do not gain any height from them. no spacer in the rear

Ill have to measure it tomorrow now with the trail grapplers. Ive noticed that not all rams suspensions are the same.

this was the before the tires

Did you ever get new measurements?

I too have an 09 and had the Bils installed @ 2.1, but had new unwanted noises with them so I went to the Rancho Quicklift's. Rancho didn't get me to 2" of lift like they advertised, but rather about 1 1/4" of lift. With the Rancho's I'm sitting at about 39" up front, with the Bils I was at about 40. Rancho is willing to allow me to return them for a refund, but I fear going back to the Bils and having the unwanted new noises. So I am curious where you are sitting with your Bils @ 2.1.

Great looking truck!
