3 inch level and 35's

[Costa16]

I'm thinking about getting a 3inch level kit for my 2012 dodge ram 1500 and I was wondering if I could fit 295/65/20(35.1x11.6x20) nitto trail graps on it with no rubbing or trimming.

I was also thinking of getting fuel octanes but if anyone has any suggestions on wheels of like to here them.

By the way the truck is dark red/maroon.

Don't do a 3" level kit.. 2.5" max! You'd be putting way to much stress on your cv's

P.S I love the Octanes as you can tell! And you could fit 295's on a 2.5" level with these wheels

2.5 level and a body lift if your looking for a bit more.

The two gents above summed up what you should do.

Im running a 3" level, I hate it. Take my (and others) advice and get a 2.5" level, or if its a 2wd get the 3" spindles.

 

[Costa16]

I have a 2 inch front spacer so would the tires fit with that?

And where do I find 3 inch spindles?

 

[sausec17]

not sure if the tires would fit, I wanna say yes


but heres the spindles...02+ dodge rams have the same spindle

[Costa16]

Do they not have 4th gen versions?

 

[sausec17]

02+ dodge rams have the same spindle set up...

 

[Costa16]

Really. Well thanks for all the advice and is the spindle just front?

 

[sausec17]

Correct. The only way to raise the back is through spacers and/or taller springs.

check out this page for a good idea of what you can use...
Suspension Lifts and Accessories for 2009 through 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd Trucks

if you need rear spacers, check out top gunz customs

 

[sausec17]

a front spacer I would recommend (if you didn't want to use the spindles, or if you wanted to combine the 2) is 2009-Current RAM 1500 2.5" Lift Front Coil Spring Spacers | CST Suspension | SoCal SuperTrucks

 

[Costa16]

So I can put the 2.5 inch coil spring spacers on with my 2 inch spacer I have right now with no trouble?

 

[sausec17]

no no no lol, i mentioned the 2.5" spacers to replace your existing spacers.

either run 2.5" front spacers, 3" spindles, or 4" spindles (with a 1" rear spacer) to level your truck

 

[Costa16]

Can I run those 3 inch spindles with the 2 inch spacer?

 

[sausec17]

Yes. You can.

 

[Costa16]

Ok thanks for all the help man and sweet truck

 

[sausec17]

no problem buddy, if you have any more questions, feel free to PM me

I'm running a 2" level and 35x12.50 General Grabber ATs on stock rims with no issues. Check my other thread to see pictures. I doubt you would have troubles with those tires as they are pretty narrow.
