leveling kit question

[ryan8301]

I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4. I just recently bought a 3" leveling kit and a set of 20x9 wheels with a 15mm offset. I'm wondering if 33's will fit on it or do I need to run spacers. if I need spacers what size do I need?

What is the section width measurement of the 33's?

3" leveling kit is too much. i wouldnt install it. the tires will probably rub a little bit, but it depends on the tire.

As DannyMK2 said, a 3" (I assume spacer) leveling kit is too much for the stock front end. I wouldn't recommend installing it; you'd be far better off with Bilsteins at 2.8".

The 20x9 +15 offset wheels won't give you enough clearance on the suspension components to run 12.5 wide tires. You'll need 10mm hub centric spacers from Motorsport Tech at a minimum.

How much of a leveling kit should I be running then? I looked up the Bilsteins but there is a few different ones. Which ones should I get?
