Tire and Leveling kit questions

BDRC · Jan 22, 2017

Sup guys? I have a 2013 tradesman/express. I hate the stock stance and tires. I am thinking about getting a 2.5inch leveling kit and I want to know if anyone can recommend one and tires? My current tires are Wrangler SRA, 265/70r20s. They suck in the snow and I want a bit more of of an agressive look that doesnt break the bank. Any and all feedback would be great! Thanks in advance.

I had the same setup as you. I installed front bilstein adjustable shocks set at 2.1 and hankook dynapro atm tires 275/60/20. Materials on amazon were about $930. Paid 260 in laber for the shock install, alignment and tires to be put on, so about 1200 total.

What kind of tires are you looking for? street? off-road? most guys on here seem to like BFG KO2's or TOYO AT

I had bilsteins put in set at 2.1
According to my research (most of which came from here...thx everyone!), with this setup you should be able to fit tires that measure no more than 35" dia. And no more that 11.75" wide. This would ensure no rubbing, no spacers, no rear mods, and still use factory rims.
I'm rolling with cooper stt pro 295/60R20 with no issues and absolutely loving the setup.
Shop your local tire shops, they should be helpful and competitive
My bils $200each (amazon)
Install $300 with alignement
Tires $1700 balanced and installed
All canadian dollars taxes included

This is my 2016 Ram 1500 Express. I put a 2.5 inch Hell Bent Steel level kit on it and replaced the stock tires (Bridgestone Duelers HL Alenza's) which sucked in the snow and minor off road use with Falken Wildpeak AT3W in stock size 275/60R20. I really like the way it looks now.

I have the bilstein 5100's set at 2.1 in the front, Fuel "beast" 20x10 rims, BFG T/A KO2 275/65/20 tires. Check my album out for more angles of the truck with rims and tires. Did you choose a set up yet?
