Hey folks,
I am looking to fit a set 285/60r20 (33.5"x11.25") on my RWD Ram 1500 regular cab with a 5.2 Mag

What do I need to do? I am looking for the most budget friendly way.
Here is what i was thinking, 3 inch leveling spacer up front and maybe a 1 inch block in the rear so the front doesn't sit higher than the rear. Will that work? Will I be a OK with just a 2 inch front spacer?

Any helps and input will be greatly appreciated

Usually a level will take care of that.

you can run those stock height, they will just rub on turns and some bumps.

So just an update...
I installed the tires and they fit fine but did rub at full lock, so i went ahead and ordered a 2 inch leveling kit.
Now does anyone know what the ideal gearing for my rear end should be?
5.2 Magnum, automatic transmission with overdrive...

It's hard to go wrong with 4.10 when running 33's.
