You should be able to fit a 37 inch tire with the lift and body lift.

Couple things to keep in mind....

Depending on how you drive the truck you'll need at least 4:56 gears and some tranny beef if you're running an auto. Truck will run like crap in the downlow.

Your front D-44 diff is gonna hate you, especially if you try off roading. 37's are heavy tires, and your front diff wasn't designed to take that kind of abuse. At the least you'll get very good at replacing front hub bearings. At the worst, U-joints, axle shafts, tie rods, and ball joints.

Your truck would still be reliable with 315 or 35 inch tires. You'll still need some gears but you'll reduce the accelerated wear on many of the other components I listed.

I appreciate all the compliments! regearing the truck.....what would I have to do to make that happen? I don't really drive it hard, it's my daily driver, but I do drive it to fishing spots that's about it lol.......its gonna be more for looks than anything.

 

[NEVADABOY]

phewww!! alright lol......what's the benefit of regearing the truck??

 

[NEVADABOY]

More power is always a good thing!! lol .....is that your truck, that's below what you say??? That truck is sick!

 

[NEVADABOY]

hahahaha, as soon as I graduate I'm buying a brand new dodge

 

[ramhunter9]

To give you a idea .. my truck has 5" and I am running 35's
I could clear a 37" but I dont want the stuffed look .

With a 5.5" and a 3" 38" tires are perfect IMO

If you need pricing on anything let me know .

Ya more power is a great thing haha. You want 4.56 gears.

Ya thats my black ***** lol. Thanks bro.

Lmao, Scott you're an idiot. If you're going that big I'd say regear the diffs as well. Basically it'll take less effort from your drivetrain to turn the tires.

when you said "stuffed look" I googled it and it does look stupid.....your truck is nice!! So 38s wouldn't look "stuffed"?

 

[NEVADABOY]

NOT MY TRUCK!.....but that's the look I'm goin for "lift and tire" wise

I also plan putting the 5.5" Fabtech Suspension Lift on my 2001 2500. I want to put 315's on 16x10 wheels with 4.5" BS.

I've read where you recommend putting 4:56 gears in. I'm not familiar with gears so can you explain further on this? Price, installation, vendor, etc...
