Just bought a 2008 ram 1500 sport. To the bottom of the wheel wells my truck sits 37.5" in the front and 40.5" in the rear.

Would a 275/65r20 look too stuffed under the front end of my truck or should I just buy 275/60's?

Looking to get cooper zeon ltz tires do these measure out to the height they say they are on the site. Gunna be mad if 34.1 actually measures to 33.5 etc

We also get 2 feet or more of hard pack snow where I live the coopers any good for deep hard snow? Only seen reviews for like 10" of snow

If you're 4x4, you should be fine with 34's on stock height. I have 275/65 terra grapplers on a level and could easily run 35's.

I do believe the tires measure out to the height they say prior to installing on the truck.

Ya I know they'll fit. Just don't know if it would look stupid with still having loads of Clearence in the rear but kinda stuffed looking in the front.

Don't know if I want a level kit because of all the vibration problems some people get..

You could run a 2" level without vibration issues. Alot of the vibration issues involved 2.5" kits, although I run one and haven't had any problems.

Bilstein 5100's are adjustable lift struts that have 4 settings, 2" being the highest. They aren't spacers that stack on top of your coil springs, so they will ride better in almost every situation than a spacer kit will. Many many of us on here run them. It almost rides better than stock!

Hell Bent Steel has a 2" kit that alot of members run. HBS is also a vendor here.
