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

[Bigbadgen]

Finally got everything done. Ended up with Icon coils in rear with bilstein 5100, and in front I bought the ORG coils and paired them with bilstein 5100 at level 5, then went with 285/65/20 wildpeak. So far so good. Am measuring 41 from ground to fender at front at 42 in rear.

Looks awesome.

Looks great! Any rub with the tires? What is the rim spec/offset?

I haven’t experienced any rubbing yet. The rims came with the truck so have no idea what their spec is but there was no additional offset added.
Was running 295/60/20 but with only a 2 inch lift and didn’t have rubbing. But I like this tire much better

Looks great, did you go with a level height Regarding the 285/65, what offset are your wheels and how was the fitment?

I get some slight rub at full crank, no major trimming just a little bit of plastic. I've had this setup running now for about 35k miles, no rebuilds yet. If i could do it over again I might have opted to just go with Carli's Commuter rather than the Carli King. I do a lot of dunes off-roading but not often enough to really warrant the need for top-shelf Kings.

How much research did you do into the Carli commuter. I’m in the same boat of maybe opting for the commuter from my 6112s but concerned they might not have enough off-road capability being the “commuter package”. Heard mixed reviews on potential Carli commuter ride quality. Looking for something much softer on road but still hold up on washboards and minor hits

I havent done any research but I trust Carli's products. They used to use Fox for commuter but migrated to their own branded product. They must have a lot of confidence in it to make that move. I just feel the Kings were overkill after being on them for 35k miles, personally. Theyre killer in the rough stuff at speed, but on my drive to and form work I wish i had a bit more "plush".

The Carli commuters are not bad regarding offroad capability, as long as you are not doing fast paced desert run too much or sending your truck too hard. That is not due to their quality control, but is due to the 2.0" diameter shocks with no resi and the shock gets hot too quickly. The faster you cycle the shocks, the faster they go hot. When they go hot, there's only so much shock oil in the shocks to manage the heat, especially in the smaller 2.0" diameter ones. And with high temperature, shock oil will get broken down faster and you will get shock fade faster. Do that too much or too often then you will break your shock. That is just physics of 2.0" shocks.

Now, if you are NOT running it hard all the time (ie: going through desert doing 50+ on washboards and minor hits, or going 60-70 on smoother sections of the desert) then the Commuter pack is going to be fine. However, if you are running it hard and would still like a softer ride on road, I'll recommend Fox Performance Elite 2.5 for you. With dual speed adjusters on road you can just leave both knobs at 1 click and it will be nice and plushy on road (maybe too soft; I run mine at low speed max out and 1 click high speed for on road), and you can firm it up for those washboards and bumps when you go higher speed on the trail (I leave both knobs maxed out when I go play in the desert)

Thanks! Negative on the trimming, I think the offset helped with that. Have approx 2” of poke with them. Considering fender flares. Will put some miles on the truck and see how she does.
