2012 leveling kit question
When I got my leveling kit it was like 2.75 in the front and 1.5 in the back. I told em to put the front on a let me take a look before they put the back on and it was nose high but I didn't much care for it so I went ahead and put the back on. So it's up to you. I just got a 4 inch lift today...- Mgpatton1s

your opinions in 321 vs 392
Personally. I don't even want to. Maybe I'm being hard headed but I hated the idea of an 8 speed when I first heard about em and that hasn't changed. I just don't see what Ram was thinking when they geared these trucks. They're one of the more powerful stock gas engines but then they hold them...- Mgpatton1s

your opinions in 321 vs 392
I've got a 2012 hemi with 3.55's and hate em. I'll never own another truck with anything lower than 3.73's. I also have 35's and always will on my trucks. But still. 3.55 is to low for a full size truck in my opinion, no matter what speed transmission.- Mgpatton1s

Gas mileage seems to be getting worse!!
It's a gas truck. It's not gonna get good mileage. I've got the exact same mods you have with 35's and get 11-12. I also drive it like a stole it most of the time. I just started running 91 or 92 octane versus 87 and it went from around 11-12 to 13-14 and it's a little peppier but with premium...- Mgpatton1s

Don't kill me but leveling question
It won't affect your warranty, and it shouldn't affect your gas mileage. It didn't mine, and like other people said. Most people use the spacers and if it messed up the CV's, we wouldn't use them- Mgpatton1s

Don't kill me but leveling question
I mean. Considering I can get a set for 20 dollars more, "you get what you pay for" probably isn't the best phrase...it's just kind of whatever you feel like. Yeah the shocks are adjustable and they have pros but it's not like spacers are bad.- Mgpatton1s

Don't kill me but leveling question
I went with a Readylift leveling kit which is the spacers and absolutely no problem. 100 bucks or less if you install yourself- Mgpatton1s

Finally done!
Yes I'm running a leveling kit. Not a big deal or anything. I just thought it was strange. Mine fit fine with a spacer and I've had no problems with the spacers so it's all good lol- Mgpatton1s

Are there "aggressive looking" tires for 20" rims?
Not necessarily. If you get rims with a negative offset you can run 35x12.5x20 with just a leveling kit. I kept my stock rims and put 295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on. They're about a half inch smaller than a 35. It's all in what you like- Mgpatton1s

Looks good. Ig your wheels must have different backspacing and everything than my stock wheels. Got that exact same size and had to put 1/4" spacers on the front lol- Mgpatton1s

Whats the best tires?
I wouldn't honestly think it would be too much. When I went from the stock tires to my tires now (295/60R20) I went from 15 mpg to 13. Idk exactly what mine weigh but the trail grappler is basically the same tire as the toyo, just small differences so I'm just assuming they weigh about the same...- Mgpatton1s

Whats the best tires?
And idk. Correct me if I'm wrong but from the pics you posted on your first post, those are the FC-II's or "Fun Country 2"- Mgpatton1s

Whats the best tires?
I doubt 9 lbs in gonna make a gigantic difference. From what I've heard, the FC-II's will get better wear but you gotta realize, they aren't as aggressive as Open Country's so. If you're wanting to go more towards mileage than a more aggressive look, the FC-II's are the way to go. And around...- Mgpatton1s

Finally got the truck to squat
Thats odd. I've had 1500 lbs worth of fertilizer in the bed of my 2012 1500 and it didn't squat near that much- Mgpatton1s

dual exhaust help
I'm sure it can be done but the people I've talked to that have had it done (none in a dodge) say its hard on the wheels and tires. Idk. I personally think it looks weird on trucks so I'd never do it but I know ford used to do it on some of their trucks and a guy I know had to get new wheels bc...- Mgpatton1s
