Do you have dodge 8" wheels in the front? i was thinkin of doin that takin of the spacer in front and runnin a 10' RIM up front. If i dont get 22.5s or19.5s Do you have any pics of your set up And yes topper is def rite 35s will be fine on 3 inches. Also about your rear i think you could just do a add a leaf and not hafto deal with the compressor or bags leakin down on ya Just a thougt.

do you know how much lighter the aluminum 22.5s are compared to the steel onse. also did you have any balancing or wobleing issues? I love your open mouth grill shell thought about it but my bumper kinda hides it.
Thanks for the info
Don't know exactly, but from my calibrated arm weighing system, I would say 40lb each. Just a rough guess though. You will have to change out the studs on the rear adaptors to run dual aluminum wheels. The studs are only long enough for just a steel and aluminum wheel setup. I had my wheels and tires balanced on a computer spin balancer at a local truck shop. Believe it or not, they are the best balanced aftermarket wheel and tire setup I have ever owned. Very smooth and no vibrations. The grille is an RDX grille made by Roadmax Automotive available at www.stylintrucks.com.

All i did on my front wheels is remove the stock spacer.....I bought a set a 17x8 Eagle Alloy 058 3/4 ton style wheel for the front and the 058 dually 17x6 for the rear.......I had heard some ppl say you could run a 8" in the front and a 6 in the rear beacuse it would make the tire shorter and effect the 4wd but i have had no probs at all....im thinkin about gettin a set of 10" for the front...





Sorry these are the only pics i got kind of showing the wheels...

Thats good to know about the stud length on the rears mit not be wortht the effort. Do you have any problems with steering at idle or anything like that? How does the truck stop with a load or without? I realy apreciate the info

Merry Christmas to you too buddy. It's no problem to change out the studs. Any local truck shop will have the stud length you need for the dual aluminum setup. It's very easy and cheap. No problems with steering at all. These trucks can handle this size wheel and tire combo very easy. You will notice a slight difference in the braking, but I have had no trouble at all with or without the trailer. It may seem to be a big difference to start with, but you will get used to it. I didn't know to start with about my setup after I put it on, but after a week or two, I was very comfortable with it.

I have a lifted dually too, but it's a 2nd gen.

Anyway, I have 5-6" susp lift on it and 3" body+ 37x12.5 Pro Comps, so it's making it approx. 13" taller than the stock one is, and you really see it when you're driving it on the road!

I have pics in my gallery and here:
