This is my first Ram and also my first truck to have anything but stock wheels as well.

2014 Ram 2500 CTD

The dealer I got it from took the factory wheels and tires off which were;
33x12.50R18LT

They put on new wheels, tires, and mild lift it appears;
35x12.50R20LT

Beyond appearance is there anything I need to know about what they have done and how it will affect towing performance/safety? I will be towing a 24 ft Wilson gooseneck cattle trailer. Ill be around that 13000 to 16000 weight if I really load her up.

My truck is a 2014 Ram 2500, CTD, 4x4. The original tires and wheel only have 13000 miles on them so switching back is not out of the question since I had the dealer give them to me with the sale.

Thanks for any input.

ps. Maybe you guys can tell how much they lifted it? Sorry again, I'm the guy who never changes a thing on a truck from the day I but it expect oil, filters, and tires. :)

Looks to be maybe a level. Suggestion would be to put max psi in the tires when towing heavy. Should be 80 or 65 and will say on the sidewall. Definitely 0 or negative offset on the wheels as they stick out a bit.

Thank you. Yes I have already adjusted the pressure as that's the one thing I always kept mine at on stock pickups. Not sure if I like how they stick out or not. The younger boys in my area LOVE it and tell me all I need now is to roll coal LOL... Ill leave that to my boys down the road.

Cheers

I concur; looks like a 2" front level, not really a lift, which should not affect your towing capabilities.
