maybe consider lowering the rear only. I personally have never seen lower springs for the front... anything is possible.

I think that if I couldn't lower the front and the back together, i would just leave it at the stock height with better components. I like the raked look, and I'd like to get stiffer suspension in all 4 corners...the only deterent to lowering it would be not being able to stuff some larger wheels on it (and the availability of the springs...I don't want to cut them). So 20's with low pros would work at the stock height?

I think 33's on 20's will look just fine. I prefer 35's minimum on 20's, but that's me. The 33's look good, also!

As far as rim width, I'd try to get a 20x8.5 with 5.5" minimum backspacing. A 20x9 will work also, but I'd avoid anything wider than that.

Good luck and be sure to post pics when you're done!

15" wheels won't fit. Looks good to me, however don't use them off road or you will be buying new ones. Thats the reason some on here don't like them. Some like things functional and others just want it to look good.

LMAO!! Just as long as your not jumping your truck over at the supercross track or rock crawlin', your truck will be fine.Coming from someone who ACTUALLY OWNS 20s on a 2500 RAM who's been on every type of terrain W/ 20s.

Be sure to check out MB Motoring's wheels at Discounttire - they make a lot of wheels that fit our trucks (odd backspacing/offset) perfectly.

I was going to go with a 20" wheel, 35" tire - but couldn't find the Toyo MT's I wanted. So, I stepped down to an 18" wheel with a 325/65 (35"x13") on a 18"x8.5" MB Motoring Gunner 8 in anthracite finish. Pics are in my gallery.

They do great offroad...plenty of sidewall (a lot more than stock).

For a 33" tire w/20" Wheel, look at 305/55R20
For a 35" tire w/20" Wheel, look at 325/60R20

I say go with it.33x12.5 fit on a stock truck with a 16x10 wheel and don't rub.

My buddy runs 33x14.50 SSRs on a 16.5x12 inch wheel within more than spacers in the front and it doesn't rub that bad.

I guess some people think a little rub is a lot but I don't mind a little rubbin.

Me I think it will look good, and I've seen people go muddin with nice 18s and 20s around here, there just wheels and it's just money.
