You are 5.2% smaller than current size, that will make it run faster, so you will probably be off more. Alpaobd can correct that easily

Look at the 3rd line on the calculator, the numbers in the parens are what has to be charged you are currently 2564, going to 2430.

Tires compress slightly once weight is on them

You're fine. Tires are expensive just make certain they are what you want from a height standpoint.

yeah exactly thats why im tyring to get a lot of input

should i go with 1" taller tire?? id rather have the gap how it is currently, not a lot of gap

A 295/50R20 tire is 31.61 inches in diameter and 11.61 inches wide. The sidewall height is 5.81 inches.

Yup, correct only ones I see are in all terrains so you got your answer. And they aren't toyos

 

[bonnyjliss]

ok i guess i'll just go with what i have in my cart

Well the spring don't seem to be right?

They are more narrow than the belltechs and don't fit into the cups

 

[bonnyjliss]

This is bizarre it's so hard to get 2wd springs

Connect with Benny here on the forum at all mopar parts. Give him your vin and he will tell you the replacement spring for your truck as I'm certain the oem is discontinued.

more articulation. i'm in

the new springs arrived and they are the correct ones.

i put them on, but the front rides higher than before now. the 2" springs and 2" drop spindles didn't have the equivalent result.

it looks like i will have to cut the front coils to achieve the height i want.

they're mildly a PITA to get in and out, just having to take off the shock... but general rule of thumb for these springs? 1 coil = 1"????????

id rather not have to take them apart a bunch of times, but obviously don't want to overdue it. should i try half a coil first?

also, camber is way off after swapping, if i have it aligned now will i have to have it done again if i lower it another 1"
