Thinking of putting a 6 inch lift in my 2011 ram outdoorsman 1500. Was wondering if anyone had a recmondation on tire size I should run with the lift install and reasons why. It's the black with grey lower trim, what do you recon for rim size and color? Black or chrome, seems black is being played out these days. Anyways thanks. Any other information on what to do after the lift would be appreciated.

35" tires are pretty standard on 6" lifts also 20x10 wheels.

Yea that's kind of what I was thinking. Any recommendations for a brand of lift? I know pro comp warranties everything now if you go through a authorized installer. It's nice that they do this now, I've heard of front end problems.

I've got the 6" rcx and 35's with no problems. I wanna do 37's but gotta step up to 4.10 or 4.56 gears. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1401065510.294796.jpg

How much did a 6 inch cost installed? What size of rims ate you running^ Im thinking 18'S. Any other upgrades that I should look into that are reasonable price? I have MagnaFlow exhaust and Leveling kit at the moment.

You can get the best deal on a lift from bullys performance. I installed it myself in about 8hrs. I'm running the factory 20's for right now

Only part that sucks about doing your lift yourself is you miss out on the warranty towards your truck with pro comp. Check out this link.
