Hello all, just joined the forum but have been lurking for awhile. I just bought some 18x9 -12 wheels and in the process of getting 35/12.50 general x3's. I just ordered bilstein 5100's and was just wondering if you think I would be able to fit these on the 2.1 setting or should I go with the 2.8? I searched but couldnt come up with a definite answer to my question. Just dont wanna make a mistake. Thank you!

By the way I have a 2013 quad cab ram 1500 hemi.

They are black atx wheels. I bought them used with shot 37/13.50's on them for $200. Im trying to get the bedliner off of them now so I can repaint them. Ill take tips on that as well lol

Is it roll on liner? If so you will have to do a chemical bath to soften and remove and possibly chipping and sanding after

Honestly it kinda looks like a spray on type. Like out of a spray can. Idk how to upload pictures or I would. Ive read some about brake fluid will take it off. Might give that a shot.

Made a little progress on getting the bedliner off the wheels. Used aircraft stripper,scraper,and a wire brush on an electric drill. Hopefully installing the Bilsteins within the next cpl weeks then I just need to get tires.

Ended up going 2.8 on the Bilsteins. I love it! 35/12.50R18 grabber x3's. I love the look but damn did my power go down. Might be time for some power adders.
