Im running into a battle with my truck, its a 2008 2500 hemi, its has a 6 speed manual trans and 4.10 gears and its currently on 30" tall tires, so as you can imagine torque is an understatement on this truck, but also im running really high RPMs at highway speeds, now going to 3.73 gears would fix my issue as my truck sits now, but i plan to lift it down the road with 35" tires so im trying to not remove the 4.10s.

Ive done the calculations and running a 33" tire on the truck right now as it sits will get me around the same RPMs at highway speeds as changing to the 3.73 gears would, so I know the truck having a 31" tire is nothing but im curious if anyone has any pictures of their truck with 33" tires on a stock height 2wd 2500 and if there is any kind of fitment issues, also keep in mind im running a 20x9 with a +1mm offset so my wheels stick out from the body some, which is whats raising my concern

The wheels stick out around 1-1.5”

The rear should fit no problem. The front might need a small spacer say 1.5" to lift it up a bit for clearance and to match the rear spacing.

You can put a set of 35'sx 12.5 on it and it'll equal out to about 3.73's
No rubbing either
Rpm's around 1700 @ 75 mph
How I know this; I have this exact set on my '18 2500 stock suspension no leveling kit.

I Love my 18 Ram 2500 4x4 CC U.S.M.C.(ret) CPL

yeah i know about 35s and it will do what i want, ive checked all those calculations, but a 35 will not fit a 3rd gen without a lift, your 2018 4x4 comes much taller than my 3rd gen 2x4 does from the factory
