Hey! Some Guidance Please!

[DJS1980]

Hi all. Just joined. On my 3rd RAM, but this is the first I bought and did not lease so looking to make some upgrades. Could you please point me to a few threads to get the basics on lift kits, rim/tire size and the considerations that need to be taken into account when lifting/putting on bigger tires/rims?

Thanks very much!

Lift kits and bigger rims/tires always wear some components out quicker. I hear of ppl adding better sway bars and 4x4 core parts to help when they lift stuff. I’m sure some more people will chime in that have done more lifts than me. I lifted my jeep patriot and boy did I regret it. Drove like total ass and it loaded up the struts which made it stiff and bang on every bump. The truck has enough clearance for my minor off-road fishing adventures.

Stay way from puck lift kits that’s my opinion from the jeep experience I had lol

Lifting a patriot lol (jk) what kind of truck ifs or solid axle how much and how big of tires do you want. Hardcore mudder or rock crawler overlanding. Depends what you want to do and the truck it’s self. My recommendation for daily driver and overlanding is the largest tire you can fit on the stock rims go with minimal lift 1/:2inch remember that on a 4x4 sibewall is your friend. Bigger tires not bigger rims
