Whats up fellow ram owners! Im looking for some advice/help in regards to leveling and putting new wheels on my 3rd gen.

I just purchased a supreme suspension kit that is +3 in front and +1 in rear would I run into any problems as far as needing extensions for anything with this?

Another question

Im looking to throw some 35's on her and Im looking at some wheels. I want to stay with 17's but as far as offset goes what do ya'll recommend so I dont rub? Or what do ya'll think about spacerS?

ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Are we talking about a 2002 3rd gen as shown in your signature? Or a 2006+ 3rd gen?

With just a leveling kit, spacers or a larger negative offset will most likely making any rubbing issues worse. You shouldn't need any extensions for anything. 35's will fit but you may need to do a little trimming.

Then all you need to do is crank up your torsion bars to level it. Jack the front end of the truck up off the ground, crank up the adjustment bolts that are back by the transmission cross member, lower it down and roll the truck back and forth, check the height.

You will need to get an alignment after doing this and new shocks wouldn't be a bad idea either.
