Leveled in the front with Bilstein 5100s 2.1" on stock sport 20s wrapped in Falken Wildpeak At3w 35x12.5s

I rub the control arm though so shes parked until I get the Bora 10mm hubcentric spacers. ETA 10 days.93a5e1b026f372875ebe5e0ef0427c4d.jpg7c02f9c03d535e9a93d26688caa416aa.jpg

If your curious this is what rubbing on your control arm looks like (for others to learn)o_O

Please let me know how it goes! I have 35s in Falken MTs coming on the sport wheel! Either going 1/4 inch or 1.5 inch on the spacer.

I have them on mine now. My only concern is I lost 9mm of stock stud thread but they bolted on fine. I will eventually add 2" studs when it warms up just to make myself feel better; however I am driving with the 3/8 spacer on the stock ones without issues.

Ps. You cant go 1/4 inch if you want Hub centric. I Suggest either 3/8 or that 1.5.

Thanks for the heads up! Do you know why grade steel you’ll use for the extended studs?

Nope not gonna tackle that until the weather warms up. Until then I'm rocking it on the stock studs. You may get lucky some of us rub some dont. Just check that control arm when they are installed

Just do the 1.5 & you won't have to mess with the studs + the wider stance will look better!!

Thats all about preference. I actually think 1.5 looks worse, I like a slight wider stance. Not to mention it will throw rocks all over that paint job.

Mopar Performance 4" kit with Bilstein's set at 1.4". Precision Control upper control arms with greaseable ball joints (identical to Mevotech). Airlift Loadlifter 5000 Ultimate Plus. Milestar Patagonia XT 35 12.5 20's. View attachment 195488

Love the stance, the hood and even the grill. I usually think aftermarket grills look stupid but I like the total package. Especially the stance and oversize tires with the stock wheels!

My 2014 has the ProComp 2.5” leveling kit with Zone UCA’s. The same wheels as you but I left the stock size in Cooper AT3’s.

I just didn’t know if the larger tires would clear inside the wheel well. I also wasn’t sure how much mileage I would give up. With the stock size tires and the level. I am getting 16-17 local and 21plus highway. Did a 4000 mile trip last year to Steamboat Springs last year from NJ and averaged 21.5 even with speed limits of 80-85 on Route 80 in Nebraska and Wyoming. On longer trips with the cruise set at 75 I have gotten as much as 25 mpg. This absolutely destroys the mileage of my previous truck a GMC Yukon XL which got 14-16 local and never more than 18 highway.

While I would love to go to 35’s I am leaning towards 275/70 r20’s and get the 34” height but keep the width the same which shouldn’t have from what I’ve read any clearance issues.

Colorado last year. 9d94b8dec4f63ab3b1aec32dad7f699c.jpg

Looked Everywhere to find out of 35/12.50/20 would fit on my 2017 Ram with a 6in lift, but on stock longhorn wheels. Finally found this forum and knew it would work. They even told me at discount it wouldn't because of the width of the wheel. I had seen the longhorn edition in this forum so I told them it would. If you are looking to lift your truck and keep the stock wheels on your longhorn/bighorn edition the 35/12.5/20 do fit on the 9in wheel.

That looks awesome brother. It's funny the tune that the tire shops always sing eh? I think that one of the best looks going is the Ram with the stock wheels and 35's. Yours looks super and the Sports that I've seen look great too. From what I've read they will fit even with the 4" lift.

There are so many variables that determine weather the tire will fit, that’s it’s easier/safer for the tire shops to just say “ No, that won’t fit.”
I know on my 2012 with a rough country 4” lift, because of the actual width of the tires (mounted, they are slightly wider than the “advertised”12.5inches), and the design of the rough country knuckles, it required a 1/4” spacer to keep the tire sidewall from rubbing on the knuckles.

because of my stock wheels on my express i had to use wheel spacers to get the 35x12.5x20's on there. I have a 1.5" body lift and bilsteins set at max in front with rough country uca's and spacers in rear to level

but my friend has same truck but with the blackout stock wheels we measured and he had much more room would not need the spacers.

What bull bar is that? I've been trying to find one that mounts thru the tow hook mounts...

Truck looks great [emoji106]

The bar is just a cheap one from amazon, that was originally designed to mount under the bumper.
It's hard to see it with the autobot plate clipped in place, but I have a 12K pound winch mounted behind the bumper.
While building the mount for the winch, I added a couple tabs to the winch plate so I could bolt on the bar.
