I think this thread was for stock suspension. This truck has a leveling kit. Correct?

I would love to know also. I will be getting my leveling kit on soon and would love to know if I could clear this size tires.

I’m sorry guys. You’re correct on the thread title. My truck does have a leveling kit now. Originally I was just running the Revel leveling links which tricks the computer into letting you drive at faster speeds in OR1 or 2. I’ve since added the Daystar leveling kit and adjusted the links to bring the truck back to factory ride comfort.

Does anyone know if a 285/65/20 (34.6/11.2) fit on stock suspension?

So you put a daystar level on the limited air suspension? I thought this wasn’t possible.

Hey Fellas..
Not sure about anyone else, but I would LOVE for those who've done any leveling or lift AT ALL to their air suspension trucks to respond and just briefly tell what you did and how you like it. Those of us still considering it do a ton of research but (as you know) it's extremely difficult to piece-together what has actually worked and..which setup is THE BEST. I want to slightly level my truck just to get wheels / tires that are slightly bigger than stock (mostly just to have nice looking after market wheels-- not intending to lift for the looks).
That would be pretty incredible if we could get ONE thread of guys just sounding-off what they've done to help those haven't jumped yet.

Thanks in advance!

I guess it does according to a different thread. So I guess my new question is would a 295 60-20 fit on stock??

So what is the largest Nitto Grappler tire someone has installed with absolutely no rubbing on the stock suspension and no trimming required?

Thinking of getting a set for my Limited wheels I just purchased

I was hoping to have seen a response to this in the last 3 months. Bummer.

Sorry for late response, here are a few pics. Also a pic of what the factory tire and the R/T looked like while at the tire store.

Friday I'll be putting 275/65 R 20 on my stock wheels. I'll let you know if they fit/rub. I know its not a 285 but maybe it will help. FYI Nitto Tierra grappler.

In your third picture, how high is the truck sitting? I have the off road and wonder if mine would look like this with those tires. Also, did you have any rubbing or are you good to go?

Following. I have the stock 20" Laramie rims and looking for the tallest profile tires these rims will support. Mine are currently 275/55R20 which I believe make them 31" tires. They just look too small, and with the Bridgestones, it's like I'm I've got a truck riding on top of a sedan. I want this thing to ride decent but look beast. 33" would be nice, 34" or 35" would be better! I have air suspension but no lift, and would prefer to not have to do a lift, except maybe the 2" level kit in the front to balance out the truck, which I don't really understand why the front is lower to begin with. Anyways, looking to see how @Jamesontf install comes out.

I put 275 65 20 Goodyear Ultra Terrains on, stock suspension with ORP/ORG, no rub anywhere, not even close. Pretty sure I could have gotten 285s in there and not had a problem.

Truck looks 10x better once the skinny little chicken **** Falken 55s with the outlined white letters were off there...

Extra bonus, for every 100 miles I run my odo is only gonna show 93. :cool: Just gotta remember at 70 MPH indicated I'm really going 75.

I’ll post picks later but everything fits I had a slight rub as I was full turn (to the right)backing into a drive way. It rubbed as I bounced over the three inch curb. I tried to recreate the run and was unsuccessful. So in my book im very happy! So happy I may have a ready lift sst kit to sale as I don’t think I will install it.

My findings - just threw a 305/55/20 BFG K02 onto the stock 20s that are on my limited. Aero and Normal slight scrub full lock right. Going to have to track down and trim as necessary. Haven’t touched Entry/Exit mode yet - I’ll do that tonight and update with pictures as well.

I have 33x12.50r 20s on my factory ram limited wheels. Fits great no rubbing at all. I do have pics if you want to see what the Toyo R/T's look like.
Does the Limited sit the same as the Big Horn? I want this exact same tire size on my truck. Just want to make sure first before I buy anything.

Going to have Nitto Terra Grappler 275/65 R20 installed on wife's stock Bighorn today. Will a 275/65r20 work on the spare and crank all the way up as it should?
