35s or 37s

Did you try it with out the spacers?

 

[Andrew09HEMI]

No I did not. There are wide for a 12.50 at 12.6" so I think you'll have more rubbing occurring then with others. I installed the spacers and drove for 250 miles and retorqued before deciding on tires since I knew most tire shops wont touch the spacers themselves unless they sell them.

Looking nice with the 37's.

Looks great!! Do you know how high it is to the bottom of the door? I want to do a similar setup but dont want it TOO high.

26.5" to the bottom of the door, little more to actually step in.

Down the side shot

I personally think that looks perfect and completely sells me on 37"s on my stock 20"s-

What gears are in it now?

 

[Andrew09HEMI]

373s right now

 

[Ratket]

Ya I showed my wife the arh long tube headers and I said nope- I'll do 488"s before I spend that much money on exhaust lol

 

[blackbeautyhemi]

373s right now

Think the 4.10's would do okay with the 37's or still not enough?

 

[Ratket]

4:10s would help-
It's all personal preference -
I have 373"s and with the stock 33"s I can tell you I would be hapy with 4:56 for my driving style. Since I am currently on 34"s my next tire will be either 35"s or 37"s- and I will prolly never run anything smaller than a 35". So for me I want 4:88"s.

Holy moly that looks amazing. I have been doing everything I can do to convince myself 35s will be plenty for my next set but this makes the decision very difficult. VERY nice!

410s would certainly help. It'd be nice if I had them to judge the difference but I think I'd still regear. The power isn't the problem, it's the transmission. Chrysler has been known for **** transmissions for years, they just can't take heat well. Maybe a better torque converter would help but ultimately regearing is the right step when going with bigger tires. I'm sure if I had 410s I'd probably wait longer but I've now got two connections to get gears done and relatively speaking their prices aren't terrible just have to wait a bit.

Appreciate the comments I'm super happy with the results and glad I jumped for 37s over 35s.

Yea trust me I know about the transmissions, just had to put one in mine two weeks ago. Yours looks bad ass with the 37's so I'm just inquiring as I plan for my next truck that'll most likely be a 2500 with the 6.4.

 

[Andrew09HEMI]

Thanks man! It'd be interesting if I could put these on a truck with 410s to compare it would tell us a lot about what gearing would be best if I change is made but I still think 456 would suit my needs well and if towing heavy maybe 488s which would put you in the 430 range with stock sized tires

Very nice! I have those tires on stock tradesman wheels in 305/70/18 which spec to 35X12.4...rubs radius arms at full turn. The unique tread pattern made me get them.
I was looking for those black take off wheels on ebay last Summer but the prices were so damn high. Wish I had gone that route now.

Looks sharp. Let us know how big of a drop you see in MPGs.

Just filled up and reset today. Last tank got 338 on 27 gallons majority city driving with a short highway trip here and there. I suspect it'll be all city on this tank as we don't have any highway trips planned but I'll report back anyway. Previously I avg 11.6 city on 93 tuned with a pretty heavy foot. I'll be dialing down on the heavy foot as well to nurse this transmission haha
