I've done quite a bit of reading and cannot decide what I want to do here. My 2019 Ram Rebel is approaching 40k on the stock DuraTracs. Looks like I might barely get out of winter here in NJ with them. I am really torn on what I want to do in terms of tires and possibly suspension as well. I am not doing aftermarket wheels. Just not looking to drop that sort of coin. I don't really have a desire to go with a 35" tire.
I am torn between a few scenarios:
1) Literally just slap another set of DuraTrac 275/70/18's on, get an alignment, call it a day. Spare tire stays as is. Maybe consider a better alternative in a 275/70/18 size?
2) Slap a set of DuraTrac 275/70/18's on, front 2" Motofab spacers/2" ReadyLift UCAs. Spare tire stays as is.
3) Slap a bigger set of 295/70/18's on (Grabbers, Nitto, etc), 2" Motofab spacers/2" ReadyLift UCAs. Now I need to figure out the spare. I wouldn't dare go this route without the level kit.
So basically it's: Stock tires/stock ride height vs. stock tires/aftermarket level height vs. 34" tires/aftermarket level height. I really can't decide if the extra 1-1.25" overall diameter of the 295's will change the look of the truck. I know the 295 vs. 275 will have more width to them.
I guess I am looking for the pros vs. cons here. I know it sounds silly but I am not sure how this will affect the spare tire if I go with the 295/70/18's.
Any considerations I am missing here?
