I had to upgrade my bumper too. I hit a little doe and it destroyed the stock piece of tin bumper. 6dcf622784ae7052e25c9fc18a9446d4.jpg

I was told by a senior member that typically 35x12.5's don't fit on stock wheels. He claimed there isn't enough clearance between the upper A-arm and the tire.
I am looking at an 18x9 wheel with +18 offset which is pretty similar to stock. Would this setup work?

The 35x12.5's will fit on stock wheels with a spacer, which is what I did. But the +18 offset wheels you are looking at will work too. The stock wheels have a -19mm offset. With +18 offset you wheels you will be pushing the wheels and tires out about 1.45 inches. This is plenty to clear the upper control arm. However you will also need to lift or level the front end by a couple inches or you will rub inside the wheel well.

I have a 2.5" level on the front of my truck and I still have one spot that rubs a little turning left.

I'm looking to get a pair of Bilstein 5100's upfront soon to get more level and I was thinking about getting a set for the rear as well. However when I put them into my cart on Amazon It tells me that they don't fit the rear of my truck. I'm not planning on raising the back, will the 5100 rears fit a stock height? 2011 Ram Longhorn..

I'm not that familiar with Bilsteins. I do know that the rear 5100s are not adjustable like the fronts. They should work from what I've seen.

Is anyone running a level with a 1.5" body lift? I'm thinking about adding a BL but just curious to what it looks like. I really don't want a 3" bc that may be too high as its a work truck. Just looking for a little more added aggression.
