Would anyone anticipate a difference in fitment between a stock 1500, and a stock 1500 w. air suspension?

I am going to drop the rear 2 inches. Looking at a set of 275-65R20 BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T-A KO2. Any idea with the lowering of my 4x4 the 2 inches if it will rub?

im sure that depends on what size tire your looking at. too big of a tire might cause problems with entry/exit mode i would imagine.

If I'm looking for a wider foot print on stock suspension with 20" wheels what can I fit?

It cost me $85 for install and another $70 for alignment with my HBS Leveling kit... I couldn't find any exact prices from previous purchasers so maybe that will help you

What he said. ^^^ you're into the entire thing for $200 including install and alignment and the look is SO much better.

Resurrecting this thread to ask if you have the air suspension with those 305/55r20s. I have stock air suspension with those same sport 20" wheels. Wondering if they will work in aero mode.

Any issues with 275/65R20 and 2" lift?

That is not a significant change from stock (slightly higher profile, no wider). Would not require a lift or level. Not sure what would be gained, other than throwing speedomete/odoneter off a rad.

You need to find another dealer. I picked up my new 2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Big Horn in January. Part of my ”deal” was swapping my nearly new Lt 275/60-20 MTv10 ply tires for the crappy OEM Goodyears. Deslervas a-ok with it. Have also had multiple discussions with technicians. Absolutely no warranty issues.

The one problem I have had, anywhere that does rotation wants to drop psi to stock, which is too soft for 10-ply.


I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with 20" factory rims. With my dealers ok, I went to same size Tire but in an LT 10 ply, instead of the P 4 ply. Which requires a leveling kit. Even though it was done by the dealer, I have developed a transfer case issue, which Ram is blaming the tire size. The transmission doesn't down shift in 4-high, and 4-high only. As I have learned the hard way, you CAN'T change from the P rated 4 ply original size tires. According to Ram, that size is the only size within their "programmable limits" for this truck. I live in the country and can't even drive down the pea-gravel driveway without getting a flat with a 4 ply tire.
Was also informed by Ram, with the new electronic controls, if you put a tire, different from the original or out of their "programmable limits", you WILL have drive train issues, and Ram will Not stand by the warranty. I have brought up the issue of payload and towing advertised is beyond the tires capabilities, to no avail...

I was reading through the messages on this and I am interested as well, I have a 2012 Ram will have a 6 inch lift on it and was told to run at the most 35 inch tires so that I don't have to change out the rear gears. Can I run 35x12.50r20's on the stock rims without spacers?


No you are going to still need spacers cause my bro has a 2009 and is running what you want to run and he has it on his and as in my last post I had to put it on mine as well to have no rubbing

Yeah your front end does not look stock height. I have 2012 with the bilsteins at 2.1 and my truck doesnt set thst high in the front. I have 295/60/20 toyo open country AT extremes and they rubbed and was very close to my control arms. I had to add a 1/4 spacer to keep from rubbing at full lock.

Did you buy that truck used? That front end doesn’t look like stock height. Looks like it has a level on it.

Yea I bought it used off a lot and that is what someone else told me but I didn't do anything to it and when I got it it didn't say that it had any mods to it and when I measured it the front and back was about an inch different so I'm not really sure and some people say cause it's a 4x4 it comes some what leveled

Your front is not stock, it's raised up prob with a spacer or leveling struts, nothing to do with been 4x4

Take a picture that shows the whole strut, look for a spacer underneath the strut tower top mount, if there is no spacer, the strut could be doing the leveling
