I just lifted my 2013 ram 1500 on a Maxtrac 4.5in lift and threw some 35s around it. Is there anyway to accommodate for the power loss and maybe gain some speed back?

You have a 2wd so you can regear but pushing your foot down a little farther than you’re used too fixes that. You’ll get used to it. But if you don’t regear is the cure

If you haven't corrected your speedometer yet you should at least do that - it won't necessarily get you power back but it will get you (some) fuel efficiency back because transmission shift strategy and throttle body control are governed by this.

Jscan or AlfaOBD apps along with an OBD2 adapter can do this easily and affordably.

LOL .... just regear if you really feel power loss .... I went to 37s and regeared from 3.21s to 4.88s and the truck just feels better than stock .

I wouldn't go with a Pedal Commander as it is only making your gas pedal more responsive but you will still feel the power loss especially if you drive up hill or in the highway trying to accelerate pass the turtles .....

But definitely correct your speedometer first and foremost , see how that feels ... if you want to try the Pedal Commander look for a used one on offerup I always run into them especially in Texas ....

Regearing will be around $800 to $1000 depending on the shop ... good luck !!!
