Leveling kit and tire size?

Trgoffroader7 · Aug 4, 2015

Recently purchased a 2013 ram 4x4 first dodge ever. First thing I did was installed bilstein 5100 at 2.8 and did 1.5" blocks in the rear. I'm starting to look for larger tires. I'm eventually going to get after market wheels but would like to keep stock for now so wats the biggest tire I can run with a stock wheel 295 60 20?

I put Bilstein 5100 at 2.1" setting and front is still 2" low on the front. So even if I go 2.8 setting I'm sure I'll have rake so with you adding 1.5" blocks in the back that must look ridiculous

No with the 2.8 is was within a 1/4" of level with the back so I added the blocks so when I have a trailer it levels out versus having the ass lower than the front.

Same here. 2.8" and 1" blocks in the back, and I have 1.25" or so of rake.

You must REALLY hate how these trucks look stock then, huh? Even with the rear spacers, he still decreased his rake by bumping up the front an extra inch higher than he did the rear... which is just about perfect IMO.

I just installed Monroe Quick Struts on mine and with the 2.5 spacer I already had I got an easy 1" extra so I have 0 rake and it's almost level in the back, but it still sits .5" lower in the back.

I made this thread to figure out wat size tire I could run with my setup not to be bashed on why I chose wat I did.

I'm running just over 34"s (275/65r20 Duratracs) w/o any leveling kit... so, my guess... 35"s???

Check out the Guide to Leveling & Wheel and Tire Sizing linked in my signature. It will tell you everything you need to know about tire sizing with leveling kits.

WOW!!!! Anyways I'm running Toyo AT2 Extremes which are 34" and they look good on leveled truck. You can go 35" but then you also get the wider tire. Look around there 1000's of photos with 34 and 35" tires on stock and leveled rams

No bashing intended, the "Search" button works great for a thread such as this one because it's been discussed a plethora of times and every single wheel and tire combination you could think of is talked about.
