So. Just wondering. Is anybody running 37's on 24's or 26's on a gasser 5.7? Wondering the lift size and effect on transmission temp and mpg.

Gonna need to get that thing up at least 6” ( that’s what she said)

Not sure on tranny temp. Probably depends on how it’s driven and other factors

Mpgs are gonna suck! I wouldn’t go 37” unless you can get some gears as well. Please don’t say you are starting with 3.21 gears and wanting to go 37s. Gonna make that truck a ****.

LOL ... I still haven't decided whether I want to go with 37s or 35s ...

If I decide on 37s I "WILL" regear to 4.56s , total price for that will be $900 which includes gears and install kit along with the labor ...

Now 37's will also mean that I will have to stay with a -24 or -25 offset if I want to avoid any trimming. I am going to go with the 7" Maxtrac either way but right now it looks like it will be the 7" inch Maxtrac, 20x12 or 22x12 RBP 87R Black with Milled Spoke Edges and Windows wheels and 35x12.5 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros ...

If you want to go with 37s you really need to consider regearing ... I was very skeptical about regearing but after talking with others who have 1500 Rams on 37s they are very glad they regeared ....

Anything less than 7" inch lift for 37s to me looks weird, 35s with a 7" lift looks fine and 35s and 6" and even a 4" lift looks really nice ....

Below is a 7" with 22x12s and 35x12.5 which is what I might go with ...

Love this. But let's switch it up. What is the best daily driver/ light offroad (beaches, campsites etc.) 4" lift for 35's and 20's. And yes, I do want opinions on rough country.

Yep ... I will have to trim some of the corner for the front bumper lol ... what can I use to cover it up after I trim it ?

Anyone have good ways to trim and maybe fold back the bumper so it looks OEM ?
