Upgrades on my 2012.. need ideas, and a little insight.

[TJ Roberts]

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, 2wd with 93,000 miles. All highway.


I want to throw a leveling kit on it, but not sure where to start.

Trying to keep things cheaper as well.

My friend works at a local Toyota dealership and can get me tires and a VERY reasonable price.

Question is, which brand and size lift should I be looking at?

What’s the biggest tire you can put on 20” stocks, with said lift. Without lift.

He priced me 760$ for 275/60/20 for Nitto Terra Grapplers, mount and balance. (They’re running a buy 3 get 1 promo.)

Not sure where to start... I do want a highly aggressive AT.

welcome, being 2WD, check out Maxtrac, specialize in level/lifted 2WD's.
If you level, you can go up to a 285/65/20, this is what I had on mine first, see below. Far below is new Maxtrac 4.5/3" lift and 35's

MaxTrac offers 2wd leveling kits. I have their 2.5” coil springs and 275/65/20 Toyo AT tires. They’re a little bigger than 34” and I still have more room. Never have scrubbed.

Beautiful truck. Good luck with your projects. Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here. One note-----remember the word "modding" and "cheap" are never found in the same sentence.
