So I have a 2020 1500 4x4 (non air suspension). I want a 6” BDS lift kit. The wheel package is a 20x12 wheel with -44 offset. The tires are 35x12.5. Currently my stock diff gears are 392. Do I need to go to 410 gears? It’s my daily driver, not much off road except towing tent trailer to camp grounds etc. I expect some slow down on the take off but I don’t mind that. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time so I wana make sure it’s a quality set up that lasts

No, you would not even notice with such a small increase,with 456 you would feel some more power ,however your set up as is will do just fine.
Thanks man!! I didn’t want to add that to the already massive bill this is costing but would have if I had no choice.

Thanks for the advice fellas! As of now this is the package I’m going to go with. I talked with an owner of an awesome local shop here in Boise ID (Bucks 4x4). He runs 37x13.5 on 20’s on his 2017 Ram 1500 and says his truck runs like a champ even when towing. If I decide to go big I might try this, his truck looks good
