Got myself a V10 2500

[joepizuro]

$450 for KM2s? Damn. You could get a much better tire for much cheaper. If you do want those then you'll need 4.88s and a new set of wheels. Those tires are 37.5x14.50x16. I would run 16x10 wheels since they will hold the bead better when offroad.

CHEAP is what I want. Can you point me in the right direction?? Never good @ this online shopping thing.

This was the best "lift kit" I could find with everything included. 6 inches.. So I guess I'd go with 37 inch tires instead.

RevTek Dodge Ram 6" Suspension Lift System - AutoTruckToys.com

What do you think?

Well all that above aside. I decided to go with an 5 inch lift and probably a 2 or 3 inch body lift.

I also found some nice tires at a decent price. 38s also!!

Now...I need some help from you guys.

I'm going to regear and done so much reading my eyes hurt. 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 v10 4WD has a dana 70 in rear and some places say it has a 70u? Well I know that my carrier break is 4.10 / 4.56 and since my truck does not have 4.56 gears then I will need a new carrier to put in any gear 5.x. Problem is I can't easily find a LSD carrier for it. (Just wanta cheap one)

Edit
Well I finally found everything out..
Its a Dana 70u 32 spline.
Found one carrier so far but its an open diff..http://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/Produ...=Rear Diff - 4WD&DiffId=288&Source=DiffWizard

Have you thought about using thick cut gears? You might look into them save you some cashola.

Will everything clear with these rims and 38s TSL Bias. 7" of lift. (5" suspension and 2" body)

Why dont you piece together a 7-8" suspension lift? Thats what Im doing. Be cheaper then buy a kit too. I wouldnt buy any interco tires, they dont wear well at all, go bald really fast on the road.

IIRC you need 8" of lift for 38's, 7" of lift for 37's.

You want to run a 395/70/16? You need wheels that are at least 12" wide, those are too small. A 395/70/16 is a 38x15.5r16. You need wheels that are 3-3 1/2" less wide then the tires, theyll never wear correctly or seal correctly with the wheel being 5.5" less then the tire...

Actually I'm running a 38x13

Actually I'm running a 38x13

Then a 10" wide wheel is perfect, so long as backspacing is correct

I looked that revtek kit up, that actually looks like a really decent kit. Never heard of revtek before though.
