Smallest lift to fit 37's on 4x2?

713Hemi · Sep 8, 2014

Okay so I'm pretty lost when it comes to what I want. I like the look of the 37's on 20's, and I also like the look of the -44 offset wheels. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that a 20x12 wrapped in 37's is gonna be impossible for my 2wd without getting an insane amount of lift. I just want to clarify.

6" lift. You MIGHT be able to get away with a 4" lift and wheel spacers (or really negative offset like you listed) but I would suggest 6" for 37" tires.

Just curious why you wouldnt get 4wd? You are looking to drop $8,000 on wheels/tires and a lift but didnt spring for 4wd?

You will also want to re-gear if you goto 37". I have the factory 3.92 w/ 35" tires and felt a big difference going from 33" to 35" tires. Going to 37" you will definitely want to goto 4.56 gears or you will likely hate driving your truck.

there is 4.56 gear ratio available? I think the highest is 4.44 for ram 4500. I know for 2500 and 3500, 4.10 is the highest. As for fitting 37s, on BDS's website it says their 4 inch lift can fit 37s. I dont know if its true.

Hey how's it going? We (Maxtrac) offer a 7" suspension lift for the 2009-2014 Ram 1500 2wd trucks. We have had quite a few customers run our kit with 37-12.50-20's and 13.50" but on 9" wide wheels with little to no trimming involved. As far as the 12" wide wheel with a -44 I am not too sure but I would imagine with some fender trimming you could make it clear. Maybe somebody running a wheel and tire combo like this could chime in with a better answer? If you have questions in regards to the kit, need part numbers or would just like some more info please feel free to contact me I am glad to help out as best as I can. Thank you

Hey man thanks for the info, I'll definitely be looking into that option. Honestly the -44 offset means more to me than the 37's. It seems as the 20x12's with 37's is too much to ask for, but how about 20x12's with 35's?

2013 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd lifted 7" - YouTube

This guy has a 7 inch lift on 2wd with 20x12 on 35's with minor trimming.

I have some CST spindles in the for sale section if you are looking to save some cash if that's the route you decide to take.
