2019 1500 Laramie leveling kit/tires

[DrJacobie]

Hey Everyone,

Looking for some feedback. I'm on my second RAM truck, as stated above, a 2019 1500 Laramie.

Everything is stock, other than some really wide running boards that I'm removing and I opted to get one with 18 inch rims because I prefer the look of more rubber to rim and the ride difference.

I typically get my tires from Discount Tire. I have 33's on at the moment, tire size is 275-65-18. I would like an aggressive all terrain as I fish/camp/hunt on some very remote land in East Tennessee . So far I've found Goodyear Ultra terrains or BFG K02. Looking for some feedback from y'all in terms of other brands to consider, and considering a leveling kit and or 35" tires. If I run 33" tires with a 2.5 inch leveling kit would it look ridiculous? Am I better off doing a leveling kit and 35's or keeping the stock ride height and 33's?

275/65-18 is actually a 32.1" diameter tire. Bumping up to 275/70-18 gets you to 33.2". I currently have a 2" leveling kit with the stock 275/65-18 Falken Wildpeaks. I don't think it looks bad at all.

I just purchased a set of 18" Rebel wheels on ebay for dirt cheap, and plan to size up to that 275/70-18 size when I buy tires for them soon. Likely to get the General Grabber ATX in that size because it is the ONLY all terrain tire I can find in that size that isn't an LT rated, super heavy E load range. Made the mistake of putting E load range tires on my previous truck. Ride quality, acceleration, and MPG all suffered greatly because of them. Won't make that mistake again.
