Ok. 2017 1500 Big ***** Crew Cab 4x4. I had settled on sticking with 33's due to what a few have said about 3.21 gears. But I'll be honest. I really want bigger tires. Based on my measurements 2.8 with a .75-1" rear spacer would be best, but 33" tires would look awful with that. Especially since based on my previous post I've decided to stick with 20" rims.
I have searched here (really wish you could search a particular post by the way), searched Google, Custom Offsets, and that other Ram message board. I haven't flat out found anyone who says what I need to know.
They say that if you have a 3.21 rear end especially with a Pentastar that it will hunt back and forth between 7th and 8th. But most of what I have found is people with Hemi/3.21 not Pentastar/3.21.
How much will that kill mileage? (Avg right at 20 now) How much long term effect will that have on the tranny and engine?
I drive 30 miles one way to work, mostly highway. Put 20k miles a year on her. Full street queen and proud of it.
Thanks..and if anyone can find a post on this that I couldn't, feel free to call me out and point me to it.
