Here is my 2012 Ram 1500 2WD. I am running the Maxtrac 4.5" Spindle in the front and the 1.5" spacer in the rear. Wheels are 22x12 with -44 Offset, tires are 35x12.50r22 Atturo Trail Blade M/T's. It did scrub a little so I had to do some minor trimming on the lower front valance and rear inner fender pinch mold to make it work. Still rubs a little in reverse. I am adding the Maxtrac 2.5" coils up front and the 3" coils in the rear within next couple of weeks. Parts are here...Just waiting for the time to put them on.

My last truck was 2wd and I had M/T tires. To make It worse....straight open diff! ****.

But heck, an air locker in the rear goes a long way for those "ah crap, wet grass" type scenarios.

But, your looks nice. Congrats. I am just throwing my .02 in....when.....honestly....no one probably cares lol

you didn't get me with the 2wd, but you did with a 35" tire on 12 inch wide 22s...a tacky trend that's gotten all too common

To each their own....I don't care for the Huge tire small rim look, fortunately this "look" or "trend" that you refer to is nothing new for me. I was running 20x12's and 22x12's with 35's and 37's back in '05 on my Sierra before it was a thing...15x10's with 40's is a thing of the past....

Update, Went ahead and added the extra 2.5" coils up front and the 3" coils in the rear to give me the full 7/4.5" lift. Debating on a body lift for it now....Here is a pic for now.

Looks good. I'm thinking of doing the spindle lift myself. Just not sure if I want my truck to be that tall.

You could always do the 2.5" coils in the front with the 1.5" spacers in the rear. That wouldn't be as tall but still gives you some lift.

Looks great. Anymore rubbing? I'm doing the same lift and similar wheel/tire combination. I'm hoping I don't run into any issues at all would be great to not have to trim anything.
