2015 ecodiesel build....

[Tfrizz80]

Well I'm torn. I had a 2012 ram 1500 I put a 3 inch pa body lift and procomp adjustable shocks for the level. Loved it. Never got around to putting wheels and tires before I traded for my ecodiesel.

I now have a crew cab with 3.92 gears. The question is 37x13.50 or 35x12.50? With 35 I can do a body and level like I had. I'm pretty sure I will have to have the level, body lift and 6 inch suspenstion for the 37s. What do yall think?

If you have the money I would just get a better quality 6" lift and some 35's personally. But if you want bigger I won't talk you out of a 6" suspension and a body lift on 37's because I have seen one and it looked badass. Was a 2010 at a local 4x4 shop. I know the shops here sell some lifts with warranties. If you get a Pro Comp the 4wheelparts said I would get 5 years/ 60k miles I think it was. Another shop that likes BDS told me they would warranty it as long as they installed it also to 5 years or 50k miles. Try and find a place that offer you a warranty, Think 4 wheelparts warranty is from pro comp not sure if BDS or the shop itself was warrantying that one. Makes me feel like they are at least selling something they don't expect to break.

I may go this route. That's a clean looking truck.

 

[Tfrizz80]

Thanks for for advice. Which ever way I go I will be installing everything myself.

With most lifts they come with coil spacers in the front. Would it be better to buy 5100s and use instead of the spacers?

 

[draken]

I've always bought 5100s for my lifts.
Also i vote 6" Suspension as well. Looks clean and not to high.

 

[Caldwell]

My vote is a 4" lift with 35x12.50's... but that's just me.

 

[Tfrizz80]

Well went with 5100s and PA 3 inch body. PA says it's not 100% for the ecodiesel because of the fan shroud but it's minor to fix. 35s after that. Waiting on everything to come in now...

 

[Tfrizz80]

took me a day and a half but got it done. 5100s at 2.8 and 3 inch body with gap gaurds. Thursday wheels and tires...

Did you replace the UCA'S too? Looks good! I'll be interested to hear your mpg drop with the lift! My next one will be an ecodiesel lol

 

[Dema]

Looks bada$$!!! What kind of wheels & tires are you going with?

 

[Tfrizz80]

Haven't changed UCAs they don't look in a bad angle. Gonna keep an eye on them but if I notice anything I'm gonna replace them.

 

[Tfrizz80]

Fuel lethal 20x10 -24 offset. Gonna give those atturo trailblade mts a try in the 35x12.50 size. Planning on wearing those out and then going up later to 37s and adding 6in. Suspension.

Think I need a rear spacer to give it a little rake. Don't need much. What does most people go with 1.5 in the rear?

I think you should just drop the front with the bilsteins a setting or two. You'll easily clear your 35's still and you'd straighten out your uca angle at the same time...but you know what they say about opinions

 

[Tfrizz80]

Got wheels and tires finally. uca ball joints still look fine. Updated pick...

 

[N1ck]

Looks awesome. Negative offset and some smart rubber really changes the look!!

Good god...love it!!! Let us know what kind of mileage difference you see. Really been curious what it would be like with the Eco d.

I was averaging about 20 before now I'm about 18. Most of my driving is on the interstate or in stop and go traffic. The interstate speed limit is 75 mph so that puts my rpms at 2000 to 2100. A little high for good fuel milage. My hemi that I traded in had the exact same gears and I averaged 12. I'm happy lol.
