How much does a 1/2" taller tires affect these rams with 3:92 gears and the 8spd? I had 275/60/20(32.99) factory and went to a 325/60/18(33.5) they are 2" wider then stock too.

Maybe a slight drop in mpg's. I don't think you'll notice much difference in takeoff. The width of the tire may have more to do with it than the height.

^^^^^^^^ What he said. The height difference is nothing however the width and assuming more aggressive tread will definitely impact your MPG's, you just added a bunch more rolling resistance. Out of the hole, no worries with your drivetrain combo. Suffice to say you'd get better traction off the line and better handling in the curves.
