Hey everyone!
I traded in my 2014 Ram 1500 with 48000 miles last week. They gave me 28k for a truck I paid 30k for 5 years ago so I picked up a 2021 white Laramie sport.
Ironically enough, I just finished my build on my 4th gen when I traded it. I am coming from a Crew Cab with a 4" lift on 35x12.5 wrapped around OEM sport wheels with 11mm Bora spacers ( I had to get them I rubbed the control arm with stock wheels).
Anyways, after getting all this on my 4th gen, I had some things I didn't like and hope to change on this one.
First thing different is I only plan on doing a level with 5100 Bilstein's in the front. The lift was just kind of a pain but it bothered me just being leveled on 35s. I feel like 33 look good on a level and 35s ( in my opinion need a 4" lift)
I also plan on going 33" tires instead of 35's. They just felt so heavy on my 3.21 gears/transmission at cruising speeds which may have contributed to my transmission issues. I do however want to keep the 12.5 width if I can but I want my tires/wheels to stick be flush with Rams OEM fender flares. My 4th gen tires pushed out because the 12.5's rubbed the control arm like I stated above. It looked amazing parked but god it threw so much **** down the side.
From what I have read 33x12.5s have cleared the control arm on these without issue even on stock wheels. Please correct me if im wrong....
So I'm on the hunt for 20x10 black wheels at most a -15 offset ( looks so close to flush on the oem fender flares. ( I'm learning about wheels/tires so if I ***** up let me know)
I also hope 33x12.5s will be a better ride compared to 35x12.5 and as much as I would like lift the truck OEM warranty is now in play again but honestly I am okay with it.
I also had a Carven exhaust on my 4th gen which I loved in the city but lets be honest that drone gets old.... Not to mention this truck I am in right now is the quietest cab I have ever been in. I am enjoying it.
Anyways ill put some pics in below.
