    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    Finally done!

    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

    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...

    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"
  13. 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...

    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

    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...

    Whats the best tires?

    I just got Nitto Trails and I couldn't be happier

    Honest opinion on wheel choice.

    Damn. I was gonna suggest looking at Remington wheels. Ive yet to see a 1500. Or cummins for that matter with Remington wheels and I think the Hollow points would looks pretty sick. But those wheels you chose are too

    Got the lift on now time for tires

    I'm in love with em. Had to go down and get our old stands we used to put our deer blinds on from the farm and the gumbo wasnt really too bad except for some spots here and there and they easily just went right through in 2WD with maybe 4000 lbs on the back. And they're a lot more aggressive in...

    Got the lift on now time for tires

    I just got 295/60R20's yesterday. Had to get a 1/4" spacer but nothing else. It still rubs just enough at full lock to shine up the upper control arm but other than that 295/60R20 is a pretty good fit. Basically a 35 without the 12.5 width

    Finally got new tires

    Pretty big difference ehh? :P

    Finally got new tires

    Yeah, I'd never actually seen any in person and they look a hell of a lot more aggressive in person than from a picture on the Internet lol

    Finally got new tires

    Thanks guys!

    Finally got new tires

    Nitto Trail Grapplers. 295/60R20 Originally wanted Toyo Open Country's but no one around here has them or can get them in that size but these are pretty much the same except for the sidewall. Couldn't be happier

    Ram 1500 vs. F-150

    Maybe ignorant was a little harsh. When I think truck I think V8. Not the same size engine I had on the car I traded in for my truck. That's all I'm sayin

    Ram 1500 vs. F-150

    I just don't get what the bailout has to do with anything. If you wanna say it bc you find it more respectful or whatever, alright. But I'm gonna choose the better truck whether they took bailout money or not. If there's one automaker that didn't take bailout money but they make a POS, I'm not...
