lifting/leveling for 35" tires

[TNReb]

I have a 2020 1500 Big Horn with stock 20" wheels and 275/60 tires.

I want to go to 35x11.5x20 tires.

I don't want a big lift. A couple of inches is great - I'm not looking for 4" or anything more.

My top priority is ride comfort. It's a family vehicle and I'm just going to the new tires for the looks.

I'm not worried about saving money by going the cheapest route. If it turns out to be too expensive, I just won't make any changes.

My other concern is the rear end. I tow often and don't want the rear end to look lower than the front while towing. I'm not towing 10,000lbs or anything - just a big bass boat.

Can anyone help me figure out what lift/level/etc I need to keep the best ride comfort and keep the rear from sagging while towing?

I've been reading the forums until I'm blue in the face, but can't seem to find a straight answer. I appreciate any input!

Simple .... Bilstien 5100’s up front set at 2.1” .... 285/65R20’s .... Shouldn’t need any changes to the rear .... Could add Timbrens back there if you feel the need .... Done

do you have the 2020 classic or new body style. @Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with a nice riding kit. You will want to upgrade your rear springs to beefier ones. sent him a pm and get some numbers and we can help you the rest of the way

Thanks. I'll reach out to him.

I have the new body style. I should have mentioned that.

After talking with Nick, I'm going to go with Fox 2.0 front coil overs and Fox rear 2.0 rear shocks.

I think I am going to go ahead and get new wheels (20") when I get new tires.

Can anyone help me understand what offset and width wheel I would need for 35" tires? I do not want them to be significantly wider than the stock tires, and I would rather they not stick out a lot farther past the edge of the wheel well. An inch or so is ok.

I'm probably going to go with Ridge Grapplers if that matters. Either 285/65r20 or 35x11.5r20. I really don't understand the difference besides the weight.

20x9? 20x10? Offset?

That would be a great choice. Try looking at custom offsets gallery for wheel fitment.

I fit 35 X 12.50 on a 20” X 9” with 0 offset with no issues

Looks good. I didn't figure I could go to a 12.5... but maybe I can. You don't have any extra lift/etc?

I just did a 3” spacer in the front and 2.5” spacer in the back and put 35’s on the factory wheels this weekend. I did put a 1/4” wheel spacer in the front just in case. It rides, drives, and looks great! The picture doesn’t to it justice.

I put my Nitto Ridge Grapples on the stock rims, needing 1/4" spacer.(temp test fit). I had the RC 3.5" lift put on, I got less a lift then I thought.. I'm sitting level at 41", street to lower center fender (started 37"F 39"R). I have a set of 20"x10" on order to put on soon,
Fury 399 Gloss Black W/ Blue Tint. -24 offset. I'll put up some new pic when swapped out, til then here's my ride..
