OK thanks. I was looking @ a Daystar 2.5" to run 35's but wasn't sure if that's too big or not. I want it level like yours w/out sag in the back. I think it will be just right. Your truck looks great!

thanks man. i will say this because i changed the rims and they have a different offset then the factory ones did i had to remove that little piece of plastic molding that is at the corner by the running board and i had to tie the inside finder guard back to prevent rubbing. it was nothing major and it not noticeable but before i did this i had a little rubbing when i turned hard.

Sorry for being off topic, but the new Ram with those 35" wheels looks fantastic. Should have come from the factory this way.

Roger, you sure have a very nice truck!

OK thanks. Since it's a dually I think I'm gonna leave the stock rims for now and try to run 35x12.50R17 w/ a spacer for the back wheels. I'm pretty sure I can just use a leveling kit in the front w/out putting a lift on it. Appreciate the info guys.

i was told by the guy that did the work on my truck and who also sold me the tires that if i were keeping the stock rims i could probably put even bigger tires if i wanted to and not have to worry about them rubbing. so if u are keeping the same rims then u surly will not have any problems.

now on the topic of the back doors do yours spring back on there own also?

Yes, the tire/rim combination looks really good on your truck. At least I have a new background pic for my PC. Sorry for being off topic again.
