hello - I have a '14 Laramie w the air-ride suspension that I want to get lifted. The only two lifts I've seen for air-ride are by AEV and BDS. AEV is $1K less than BDS and from what information I could gather works well.
My question is, if anyone has a 4th gen 1500 with air-ride that's lifted.. Would 36" tires fit? (315/70r18)
37"s of course look better IMHO but that may require significant trimming on the rear of the F wheel-well. I just installed a Chassis Unlimited bumper/winch so I hacked the front part off pretty well. I do have the 3.92 gears but am concerned that technical offroading may be affected with the resulting higher gear ratio - and I'm not going to d!ck with changing out the gears. I do pull a 2800 lb off-road square-drop camper sometimes which is not that much of a strain on the 5.7.
The AEV site featured truck does have 37s - but they are BF's so they are 36.6" or so and I am not sure how much trimming was needed for proper fitment.
If anyone has any experience with either of these lifts = thanks in advance for any information
