car guy new to trucks needs help

[CavRedBigHorn]

ok fellas, i am in the mood for mods on the truck but don't want to get to far away from maybe just a leveling kit or maybe a small lift 2-4". currently have '14 1500 CC, 5.7 w/ 3.92 gears.
what would a tire/ rim setup look like if i stayed with a leveling kit? or should i just go with a lift kit. I already know i'll be losing some of my mpg's either way but i'm okay with that as i'm sure there are programmers that can assist a little bit. I think.
I'm coming from this


so, yeah the truck world is completely NEW TO ME!
any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey man, nice looking magnum. Was she an R/T or SRT?

And for wheels and tires, you should be able to fit some 33's or 35's with just a leveling kit. A lot of people need to run spacers or get wheels with more offset for the big tires though.

Thanks for the info! don't think i want to go any larger than 33's or 35's so that really helps my plan thinks out!

as far as the rear door... i simply removed the lower door hinge and the bottom bolt from the top hinge and swapped out the top bolt with a heavy duty grade A bolt, something that was heavy enough to support the 50 pound door. Helped me win lots of car shows! LOL

Magnus the Magnum was just an r/t... lol
looks like i have to decide on the size of the leveling kit now. i gather from what you're saying is i shouldn't need spacers or anything else just a smaller rim and the decision of 33 or 35.
Thanks good sir!

Congrats!

I came from a 300 SRT-8 so I know the feeling. More than happy with my upgrade.

I'm not even going to comment on the Magnum that was posted. But the best way to go is Bilsteins 5100 setup in either 2.1" or 2.8" max lift and they are adjustable for about 3 different heights. With either you can fit 35" tires.
