Guide to Leveling & Wheel and Tire Sizing for 06+ 4wd Ram 1500's

[Kab]

I've looked on Motorsports Tech website but I am not seeing 10mm spacers for my 2011 Ram BigHorn. Is it possible that it's the 1" spacer as listed here ?

It's under custom spacers. They have to make it.

Lol, yes I ended up finding it and have a set of (4) 10mm being made for the truck just in case. It's clearing in front, but I can't run my finger between the tire and the strut (?).

Looks awesome, I just ordered my wheels, tires, lug nuts, and tpms sensors today. Everything is shipping today except the wheels.....go figure. Can't wait to see what 24x9.5 looks like [emoji7]

Did you go with oem sensors, and what tires will you be running ?

I found brand new packaged oem mopar sensors on eBay for 45$ for all 4 shipped.
And for tires I bought 295/40-24, reason I went with a 295/40 was because it'll only put my speedo off by 3%. I plan on buying a hypertech speedo calibrator at some point and when I do I'll get some different tires and if I sell my camper I'll be dropping the rear 2"

That's a great deal as I just spent $120.00 on my sensors alone and then another $120.00 on those spacers lol.

I'm not getting spacers but I'm having Motorsport custom make some hub centric rings because the wheels I bought have a hub bore of 83.7.

I had custom hub centric rings made for my Legacy as I had a larger hub then what was called for. They did a great job, just wished that I could remember the companies name lol.

Took the truck out for a ride and the only difference I feel is these tires are slightly and I do mean slightly louder then my former Michelins.

I'm thinking my setup will be loud also, but I have a carven exhaust and crank the radio lol

I've decided to stick with 275/60 and go with either Toyo Open Country A/T or those new Continental A/T..

So I got a 2.5" rough country spacer kit for christmas. Threw it on a few weeks later and love it. Rides abit rough though.

When pulling the front end apart, my Factory right front strut was already leaking abit. Well due to time and the fact that I drive an hour to work daily, its coming up on time to make sure I swap it out before something else breaks. So when spring hits I'm swapping to the 5100's and doing it "right" this time. (Didn't the first time because the RC lift was a gift...)

Anyways, Full set of 4 Bill's off Amazon for 356.33 with Free Shipping...

Now what do I do... Has anyone thrown the rear's on and noticed a difference? Is it worth the extra cash? I know its not much more work.

I have the rears on also and to be honest to me it was more so a package deal. Meaning this way just like my other vehicle, I'm running full Bilsteins. At the time this was done I actually had over 125,000 miles on my Ram already, and the stock rear were still fine.

I just installed mine last week... best thing I have done to my truck, imo it rides better than stock. It's a bit stiffer than factory, feels like how a truck should ride. I did make a video about how to install the backs, and I didn't do one for the fronts because it was midnight and just wanted it done lol. The backs are super easy, hardest part about the back was grabbing onto the nut of the driver side top shock bolt (stick ratchet/socket between frame and gas tank) if you need any help pm me

Hey Guys. I have a bilstein leveled 2.1" '15 Ram 1500. I have stock 20x9 rims. I want the rugged A/T look, but not sure what tire and size i should go. Will the Nitto Ridge Grappler A/T 295/60/20 work ? It will not rub will it? Or am i better off just rolling with a 285/60/20? Thanks

Some guys get away with 305 on stock wheels but could have rubbing on swaybar link, 285 is probably your best bet on stock setup. Or just order new wheels and big tires and then 295 and 305 will fit fine
