Tires and gearing

Stj0482 · Jun 29, 2011

I have a 2000 ram 1500 and I'm in the process of planning my lift I'm going 5" and putting 35's I guess. I do believe I have 3.55's at the moment what gears would I have to put in to keep things normal I guess is my question and does anyone have any good links on where to get these

Thanks in advance

4.56's are what you should be after. Check out our vendor 3rd Strike. Duane will take care of you.

35's are probably going to be a little on the small side with a 5" lift. I'm leveled with 35's and I'd definitely go bigger with a lift

I was thinking that too. But, if he uses the truck for "truck stuff, or offroad" then you would want the room to flex.

So u guys think I could go bigger what size you thinking. It's mostly for looks not much offroading

What does this lift consist of? Is it a body lift and a leveling kit? Suspension? My guess would be that 37's should fit you fine.

Defiantly going to be suspension not sure what brand yet though

35's with the proper wheel backspace IMO will be perfect . I dont like the stuffed look .

For reference here is my truck on 35's with a 6"

And with 37's and 6"

Im runnin a 5" Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension lift with 35" tires. The tires do rub if i cut the wheel all the way and hit a small bump but thats it. Personally, I think 35"s with a 5" lift is a nice setup. Ive been told to put 37"s on my truck by a few of my buddys, but I dont want to drop my gas mileage anymore than it is lol I have the 318c.i. Magnum with the 5spd manual trans, and stock 3.55 gearing and im sucking down 8mpg
