New Lift, Wheels, and Tires...finally!

Bilstein 5100's and 35 Toyos on 20's

Did all the work myself

My '09 Ram needed some major TLC so I installed Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. The front's are adjustable and set to 2.8" but it lifted it a solid 3". The rear has 2.5" spacers on the coils (top and bottom of spring). I then added a 1.5" Zone body lift for a total of roughly 4.5" of final lift.

Toyo 35x12.50 Open Country Mt's on 20x10 Cali Offroad Distorted's

ZERO scrubbing whatsoever and the ride is fantastic with the new shocks and struts.

Here's the link to CUSTOM OFFSETS page I have all my pics and a video

I just wanna say Custom Offsets I had randomly come across googling tires and man that site is the best idea. Everyone lists what they have installed as far as lift and width of rim with what backspacing and list any kind of trimming or rubbing or whatnot. Highly recommend.

**QUESTION** I'm finding out that I need about 48 psi up front to get the tires to sit nice on it's tread but the rears seem to want about 32 psi with how light the bed is, otherwise the rears tread wont touch all the way to the edge. What do y'all suggest?

Nice!!

Thanks man....I have some pointers for anyone wanting to try this themseleves on a fairly older truck like this.

Can you overinflate that much and not affect your wear pattern? Usually going too high will wear out the center tread before the edges.

Truck looks good! I’m running mine at 35 psi all four corners. Rides good at that pressure.

Came out nice, looks good! I run mine somewhere around 39-41 psi.

Looks great, good job

I run my 37’s @ 40psi front and 35psi back

Wow that looks great and it’s only bilsteins set at 2.8? And spacers in the rear?

Looks awesome brother.

I've got Cooper STT Pro's in 35's and run mine at around 42psi all way around.

Do you know what the top of the truck height is?

Plus 1.5” Zone body lift

Looks great! I was told to run 60 PSI in our 35” Toyo Tires. That is what I have been running.

Def don’t need anywhere near that high of psi. These mt’s sidewalls are much stronger than a at tire. I wouldn’t even run a at at that high of a psi.

Oh wow. Then the guy lied to me. Thanks for the info. By the way I have the R/T version of the tire.

That still shouldn’t matter. They have a 3 ply sidewall just like their m/t so it’s a good stiff sidewall. If ya put too much air in it rounds the tire from inside to outside and you’ll wear the center section out way faster than the outer edges.
