Bilstein Leveling Kit and 37's? on 2014 4x4 1500

[WilliamS]

I know I searched before and theres a few threads but some seemed to get mixed in with the 2500-3500 guys. I know my fathers power wagon can fit them without any change and with a spacer no rubs. I want the same look for my 1500, a full tire well! I love the way a lot of tire looks on a truck without being a mile high.

So on stock 20's can I get the bilstein level and max it out, and fit a 37's with or without a spacer. Again I like a lifted truck, but I like a giant tire better.

On that what programmer will adjust tire size. I know on some models the tire size change doesnt work unless you go to a dealer.

You won't be able to fit larger than 35's without a lift, or serious modifications to the body and spacers. You'll need a lift on these trucks, probably 6" or better.

I very seriously doubt it grasshopper. My 3500 with 6" lift barely clears 37's

Well crap, thanks guys. I swear there is a thread here or on the Z forum that has a leveling kit and 37's. I just love the look of a stuffed wheel well. A truck sitting way over the tires doesnt do much for me to justify the cost.

Next project is a 2500 front clip and hood once I get the tires arranged.

A 2500/3500 can fit 37's with only a leveling kit but not on a 1500. They sit about 3" lower stock. You'd need a minimum of a 4" lift and then the right wheels to make 37's fit.

FWIW, you can get a 4 inch lift for about 1200 bucks. ^^

about 4x as much a leveling I suppose, but still not too expensive. less than the costs of a set 37s lol.

Yeah I know but man I wish I could fit a 37 inch. I love a stuffed up wheel well.

37's no lift. "Initial testing showed that the tires did fit in the wheelwell as long as I didn't want to turn the steering or hit any bumps."

"The plastic inner wheel liners also hit the Dumpster. They are good for rain and mud deflection, but we needed the room, plus it's nice to see the Hemi hiding behind the fenders. Finally we gave the inner-fender body seams a royal beatdown with a ball-peen hammer, gaining us at least another inch of clearance."

WilliamS if you're THAT hellbent on it, maybe look into a set of fiberwerx fenders with the level.

That project black sheep from 4WD&OR is pretty nice. IIRC, it has about 1.75" or so of lift up front and some fender "mods" to clear the 37's. They slung a Roctrac tcase from a Rubicon in there too!
