    33's to 35's and Offset

    I'm pretty sure there are posts on this forum with 20x10 -18 and 35's. I think with a 3.5" lift you would be ok. Check this thread https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2019-rams-with-lifts-levels-and-or-aftermarket-wheel-tire-setups.264/

    Anyone else order wheels And tires from Costco?

    Issue with Costco and Sams Club....is that they are very picky about what size tire they will put on a car. Each store may be a little different, but in general their policy is that they will only install OE size tires and wheels. I've tried to get my Costco to do an oversize tire and they...

    Wiper Blades - Best of

    I use a good glass treatment to reduce the need to use wipers at all. Apply it a couple times a year. I've not used rain-x btw. I get it from the brands that make ceramic coatings etc from autogeeks.com, etc. It can be pricey... (like $50+ for a 2-4 oz bottle) but it's good stuff and there is no...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Worst I've seen on the highway is about 15 mpg while doing 75+ into a 20+mph headwind. Same road on the way back with dead wind I got 20 at 75 mph. Mine is stock w/3.92 I feel bad for the guys who report like 12-13mpg. Not sure how it could be that bad. My old 2004 5.7 Durango would also do...

    Costco has a the 5000 on sale next month. I wish they would do a sale on the 7000. I think either one would be ok, although they absolutely will not say it's ok, for legal reasons. I did find one comment in a review of the 7000.... that a guy was using it with his 9000# truck (didn't realize at...

    how bad does the 3.92 gearing affect MPG?

    MPG should be a concern for most people, no matter what kind of vehicle.... unless it's just a toy vehicle, playing on the weekend etc. Can I drive afford to drive it with horrible mpg? Sure. But it doesn't matter if it's a Honda Civic or Hellcat. It's always nice to get "good" mileage for the...

    how bad does the 3.92 gearing affect MPG?

    Planning to get 285/75-18 which are actually a shade taller (34.8) than most "35" tires. I'm also using a coilover to level the front. Just got the 5100s shipped this week. I've seen some trucks here at #5 that look nose high so I'm thinking about doing 3-4. If it needs more lift for the tires...

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    Well, hopefully it won't be long before I can post pics of my truck. I finally pulled the trigger on a set of Method NV -12 in black. So many choices. Like all the colors. If I made a mistake, it will be the -12 offset. But here's why I went that way... Most of the trucks I could find with 18x9...

    how bad does the 3.92 gearing affect MPG?

    I can believe that. I have wheels ordered... but still have to get a front coilover and tires. My goal is to lift the front as little as possible to fit the tires. I hope a simple 2-2.5" level will be enough.

    Bilsteins and tires

    Get rid of the tuff country spacer? Then go up a notch on the 5100 if you really have to. Seems like that would fix everything... but then I like a little rake better than nose high or dead nuts level. ;)

    I'm looking at the 7000lb quickjack. Wondering if the extended length model makes any difference. I think the standard SLX model is probably fine, and it's $300 cheaper.

    how bad does the 3.92 gearing affect MPG?

    I have a stock bighorn 4wd 3.92 5.7et....no ORP, barely broke in. Don't have a big sample to determine mpg city/hwy but ballpark would be 20 average. On easy hwy driving (under 70mph) I often see 20-23mpg on the computer and it's not too far off when checking at the pump. Truck only had 1500...

    Anyone use a quickjack on your truck?

    BILSTEIN 6112 ✔

    Ah ok. Well, that's good. At first I thought they were complete bolt in like other brands.... then somehow I got the idea they were just bare shocks like the 5100. lol never assume Seems odd they don't just mark them up $50-100 a set and include a top mount so it's a complete replacement unit...

    BILSTEIN 6112 ✔

    Anyone plan to build these into a full coilover instead of re-using your existing springs, etc? Just throwing that out there because I have not looked into what exactly is needed and what it would cost. I'm leaning toward an Icon kit... so I'm curious how this would compare in quality and ride...

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    Sweet truck. The fuel tactic and covert are on my short list. Probably going to do the Falken 285/75 btw. I can't believe there is only 1/2" difference in offset between your truck and WeeMan16's. Camera angles can be funny.

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    Thanks for taking time to reply. Definitely some tire showing. Math says they are 31mm (1.22") out from stock 9" wheels. Doesn't sound like much normally, but I think these trucks have factory setups that are already more flush than most trucks. I think I will add some fender flares if I do the...

    New member. "new" 2019 Bighorn

    Hey. I have a Billet silver Bighorn, bone stock so far. Looking to add the the keyless "enter and go" mod because like so many others, I didn't realize they walked back the technology 10 years. My other Dodge vehicles with similar tech packages had this. My fault for not shopping like I should...

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    I'm torn between the Method -12 and something else like a Fuel tactic in a zero offset because I also have a truck without fender flares and I don't want too much poke on the sides. You have any pics showing how much they poke out past the fender? Thanks I've been searching all the threads and...
