33-35" tires work depending on tire width and/or wheel offset with a level up front.

I went with 275/65/R20 (according to Cooper 34.1") on the OEM rims (20x8) and I can easily go to a 35" tire up front. I am leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks set a the highest level at 2.8".

I know how I am so I went with 35s as I know I could not leave it alone . If I stayed with 33s tires they would look to small as I lifted more . I know I can't leave things alone and know not to try to make myself believe I will so I went with 35s and have already been thinking 37s less than a year into the 35s

I would consider that color in Line-X colormatch, swap out the hood, front fenders for Fiberglass. Love that blue.

I have mine with a 2.5 leveling kit and 35's. They rub at full lock though, just barely. But I love how it looks.

My truck is leveled, stock 20's w/33's Nitto Trail Grapplers. Love the look, sits about 2" overall higher than my uncles stock ram. It does slightly rub when reversing (full lock)

Pic was the other day please forgive the dirty truck

not sure the picture matches the description. 275/65 is a 34" and it doesn't look leveled at all. maybe its just me. looks good though.

I have 35x12.5x18s General Grabber X3s on 18x9s Badlands with 12mm offset and clear just fine no rubbing.

Not a fan of 20" rims and lifted trucks and would have bought 17s but these wheels did not come in that size. I like more sidewall on offroad tires.

Is that a negative offset so the wheels come off a bit? It looks nice..

I had a 2011 4x4 crew cab. I had 2" level on the front and a 1.25 body lift. I ran 295 60 20 on negative offset. It would only rub at full rear lock and that was on the fender liner, barely. 295 60 20 nitto's are like 34.5" might be a good compromise.

Can you get 37” tires under the 2500 ? Looks like you can....I just bought an 18 2500 the other day. I’m thinking about getting a 5 1/2 lift for it. Nice truck though.
