Ok in your opinion putting 6 inch coils from rough country in should give it the lift like yours right?

not sure i had 3" lift coils and 3" lift spindles i believe. 6 inch coils would make your truck around 9-10 in the front and the joints and everything would be ****** lol :happy175:

yep stock height no rubbing. ive gone down now, at a 2/6 with 285/35/22

Sweet, I think that may be what I'm gonna go until I can put a leveling kit on it. I'm not trying to go to high, a 2.5/1.5 should do it. Think I could fit 35's under there?

you could probably stuff them under but they would most likely rub bad.

Well I wouldn't want that. I've seen a lot of pics of Rams with the 305-50R20 combo and it looks pretty good. Now I need to find some 20's, the dude at work decided he didn't want 17's. Hell, neither do I.

I thought about it but there's something about c-list that's kinda creepy to me. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with black wheels or chrome also. I like black wheels a lot but since my truck is that metallic sparkly black I don't know if the flat or painted black wheels would Look weird with it. Plus the chrome bumpers make me think that chrome wheels would look better. I need to post a request in the Photoshop section with some different styles of black wheels. Maybe black with chrome accents is the way to go.

roman4405, be careful, you are talking with guys that have a different front end than you. I don't know for sure, but you might have rubbing issues with 305's on stock wheels. Others with 4th gen. 4x4's that know will hopefully chime in.

Thanks, I got a 2wd so I should be able to fit a little wider of a tire than a 4wd right? I could be completely wrong on that though. And since I couldn't get the wheels from the Guy I work with I'll probably wind up holding out to get some aftermarket wheels and make sure the backspacing is right for what I want.

I think 37's might be a bit to big for me but thanks for the suggestion .

i wanted 20s for my truck too but couldnt afford rims and tires all at once. i ended up getting bigger tires for my stock rims then a couple months later bought my **** Cepeks and just put my tires on them. i had the rims you have. i hate the fact that they are only 7'' wide. made my 33's look funny on them.

That's why I'm not gonna put bigger tires on these rims. Tall/skinny tires look weird to me.
