Bilstein 5100 in the front adjusted to 2.8 and a 1in TopGunz spacer in the rear.

looks great, have you decided on a larger tire or tire/wheel setup?

Yes 2.8 is the highest setting for the Bilstein 5100 for the Ram.

This is exactly what I am aiming for! Just bought myself a 16' Sport and just ordered up the Bilsteins.. time to purchase the spacers.

Looks great!

Thanks for the comments. I think it looks raked as I am on a bit of an incline.
Looking at Wheels and tires soon. Would like a 35x12.5 but still working it out.

I kept my rims and just added a larger tire. 295/65R20. About an inch wider and an inch taller.

I went with the Nitto's. There is a truck near me that has 35's on stock rims and he said they rub at full lock when reversing. They kind of look stuffed to me so I wanted something a little bit smaller. I get a lot of compliments now with this set up and still plenty of room for Parking garages.

It's not the height it's he width.

Look on the tire manufacturers web site for actual tire size. You can easily go with a 35" tall tire. You can get a LT tire that is 35" tall and 11.75" wide if you so desire and you'll be fine.

If you thought his 35s looked stuffed, then you definitely shouldn't be happy with 295/65.. They're actually about a 1/2" taller, if not more.

Here's my 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers stuffed on stock rims without a lift. Rubs at full turn. Will be getting a Pro Comp 6" lift and new rims with 5" backspacing next week.
