I have a 2" leveling kit on my 08 RAM 1500. stock tire size is 275/60/20. Would I have a clearance issue running 305/60/20? The 305 are almost the same price as the 275, where as if I go with 285 they are like 500 more!

Height wise you will be fine, but you might need to run a small 1/4" spacer for clearance width wise.

If your truck is 4x4, then what nwrqc is correct in it rubbing and needed a 1/4" spacer

Where can I find a 1/4" spacer? or even a 1/2" I've looked at a lot of places with not much luck. For a 08 Ram QC 5.7 4x4

This is all that I found:

Spacers

Screw the 305 idea. I'm looking at the Nitto Terra Grapplers and they have a 295/60/20. Would I still have clearance issues if I didn't get the spacer?

So with this Spacer I can run 305/60/20? And the tires will stick out from the truck however thick the spacer is?

So by getting these Fender Flares it won't be as noticeable sticking out?

Yea with a 1/4" spacer you can run those tires. They won't stick out that far

Those fender flares painted would look awesome!

I have a 2002 ram quad cab 1500 4.7

I want to level my truck to the same height as the rear. I want to know what size spacer for the front coils i should get to make the truck level.
