I've been doing a lot of research and I want bigger tires, I've read a lot of doing a 2" level kit on the front and keeping the stock in the back I can fit 295 60/20 nitto trail grapplers, is that true for a 2012 ram express 4 door?

you can fit bigger then that, those would be smaller then my stockers, stock was 275/60/20 on my sport, running 285/60/20 with no level, many say you can fit 275/65 and 295/60 easily with level on stock rims, wider tires then that you will likely need wheel spacers or new wheels with a bit more offset then stock

My bad, I meant 295 60/20, so youre running 285/60 on your truck with no level? Do you have any pictures? I just want to see how it looks cause I've been wanting to level it but not sure

You should be able to fit 275/65/20's with no lvl, it's the same width tire as stock just 1" taller. That 285/60 is only .5" taller and for the price not worth the gain......

I do have aftermarket rims on it though, but all I did was put the stock tires onto the aftermarket rims so it shouldnt make a difference right?

could you fit a 295/60/20 on a stock truck ? I think you could, but your wheel wells are going to be stuffed, and wont have much suspension travel. you may possibly need wheel spacers pending what offset rims you have.

Thanks for the input, went with the 275 65/20 looks great, filled up the wheel wells very nicely

If you do a 2" level, you can fit 35x12.5 tires. I have that setup on my truck and it looks great and there's no rubbing at all. I do however have aftermarket wheels with a -12 offset. You could probably just add a 1/4" wheel spacer for stock wheels.
