I just ordered a 6 inch lift with 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers. Will the 33's look alright or should I try to go with 35's? Anyone have pics?

Definitely don't do 33" tires, that's what the rams with 20s come with from the factory

Yeah you do not want 33's here was my old 2011 with a 6" and 33's

Then here it is once I put the 35's on.

If I were to do it again I would have thrown 37's on it. The 35's dont fill the wheel well enough and you get a gap above the tire to the bottom of the wheel well linners.

It really looks better with the 35's. Did it make the gas mileage go down a lot?

I think there are some pieces missing to this puzzle. Definitely no 33's and I agree that if you have a 4wd then 35"s will look small with a 6" lift. But if you are running a 2wd with a hemi and a 6" lift without the leveling kit you will be hard pressed to fit anything bigger than 35"s on it. I just finished mine and I dont think 37's would have fit without adding a leveling spacer. and as far as gas mileage I have only ran about half a tank through it around town and including towing a boat and it looks like I am at about 12.6 MPG (corrected) which was a loss of about 1 MPG. However if you drive on the freeway a lot in theroy your mileage could go up as you should be turning lower RPM's at freeway speed.

I don't know why all you peps are so against 33's. With an aggressive tread pattern and 20x10 wheels the look awesome on a 6" lift, gotta think outside the box once in a while.
