That definitely looks either bigger than 35's or not a full 4" lift! Do you have Bilstein's?

I think ?? It's an optical illusion due to the topper and the flares painted like the silver two tone ?
I agree sir , those tires look bigger than 35s , maybe BF Goodrich's KO'S actually measure 35" or maybe 35.5"
I've found most advertising a 35" O.D. tire actually only measures 34-34.5" installed ...

Well, I have the paperwork on booth ....I think it might be the picture with the shadows of the wheel well making it look a little stuffed. No Bilsteins.
It's 42 inches from the ground to the bottom of the fender flare on both front and back.
Here's a picture from a different angle.

I have a 2016 white RCSB 8 speed and while I know the 8 speed can handle 35s, I've never been a fan of the stuffed look. Anyone have pics of their setup with 33-34s? I'm going back and forth between zone 3.5 combo and zone 4. I know the zone 4 will be better for all my angles though. So please post pics, mpg, thoughts, and experiences. Thanks.

Just had mine lifted last week - need spacers and bigger tires or new wheels and bigger tires but these have to much tread left.

It doesn't matter to me I think it looks AWESOME!
I've been contemplating a 6" or a 4" Zone or BDS Kit . Since I have a 14 and the 6 speed xsmn & .355 differentials I'll never install a tire larger than 35" .

Sir you've made up my mind a 4" kit with a topper painted to match. 35" tires and flares it is !

Nice looking truck !

In my opinion l, Id go 6 inch zone with 5 inch coils and bilsteins at 1.4 or 2.1 with 35s. I am at 4 inch zone with bilsteins at 2.1 with 34s. now i am adding 3 inch body lift and 35s.

Then tune it. I just did a hemifever tune and its amazing. Easily chirps the tires and I have 8 speed 3.21 gears same as ur 6 speed 3.55 if u look st the ratios.

Damnit ! Now you've got me thinking 6" lift again ....

Too bad you'll loose the tow hooks with the body lift

Thanks for compliment R.L.K.

Take your time and make sure you get what you want the first time.
My choice for the 4inch lift had some deciding factors influence me. 1-Had to be able to get into the garage, 2 -wife wouldn't complain too much about getting in and out in her office attire, 3- had to be able to load my sales samples of ambulance gurneys into the bed.

See if you can find a 4 and 6 inch lifted Ram so you have an idea of what it is and not just from pics..
I get a lot of compliments and pictures don't really do it justice.
Thanks again .
Keep us posted with pics.

Do all 8 speed trans come with 3.21 gears?

You could get your build sheet free from FCA , among other sites .

If it's still legible , there should be a bare code sticker on the driver side axle on the rear end . It will have several more digits within the code but within the code it will have 321 , 355 , or 392

I've still got the sticker that says 3.92 on my front axle. And my Ram turns 5yrs old this summer.

I have the 3.92 LSD in my 17'. Looked long and hard to find this set up, but they are out there.
