Leveling my 5th Gen HD

[Charles21Ram]

I’ve got a ’21 3500 long bed and I just burned the stock tires off and I want to level it with a 2 1/2” Carli kit with the Fox shocks and 35x12.50r20 on stock wheels. My question is whether I’m going to have any rubbing on the wheel wells with the wheels turned without a spacer to give offset? And has anyone heard of issues with that big tire on stock wheels under a load? I do a good bit of towing. Thanks

I never ran 35in tires on my stock wheels but had 34ish tires with no issues. When I went up to 35s I went to a different wheel.

35x12.5’s are completely fine on the stock wheels. Only rubbing you might experience is on the radius arm while turned all the way, which causes absolutely no issues at all.

You will not rub the fender, and please do not put spacers on there..

Thanks for the info!

Thanks. That’s a big reason for my concern I am very skeptical about spacers I’d rather buy new wheels than use spacers

Yea, while spacers are cheaper than new wheels, they are a good down payment toward wheels. Nothing wrong with the stockers imo!
