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

[MValdez]

**on the nitto website - Ridge Grappler 305/55R20 116Q *stock Number #217860

I havent noticed any significant changes in MPG as i keep the center gauge option on fuel economy too. The Biggest change i noticed right away is a drop in Truck's acceleration due to the extra weight and wider contact patch from the nitto tires w/ dropstar wheels vs the ram's stock 22s and tires.

*Ram's Stock eagle touring Tire 285/45/R22 + 22" wheel = 77lbs x 4 = 308 lbs (11.2" wide Tire)
*30555R20 Nittos + 20" DropStars MB645 wheel = 91lbs x4 =364 lbs (12.44" wide Tire)

I forgot to add I keep psi @ 40 on nittos

What pressure are you guys running your 10ply/E rated tires at?

I'm keeping my KO2s around 45. Think I'm going to lighten them up to about 40.

39psi in my 35’s and my 275/65 winter tires

WOW is that a good looking truck! I considered the Black-Out for a bit then decided I might be a little too "seasoned"... but you may have me changing my mind... However, I'd want to build it so it's essentially a blacked Limited (air ride, etc...)

Do you have any problems with sluggishness or anything wrong with 35s and the 3.21 gearing? I have heard some people having problems just in terms of going downhill or just general sluggish performance (as apposed to stock tires)

I have read that too and it seems to me it’s all hyperbole. The difference is negligible and not enough for me to even worry about it. It still has plenty of get up and go. I had a 16 with the 3.92 and to be honest I didn’t notice much of a difference going down to the 3.21 either. Let’s face it, we drive trucks for a reason, if someone is worried about shaving tenths of a second off of their quarter mile they probably should get a Hellcat.

looks great! Did you put the oem led bed lights in yourself? Did the dealer have to flash or is it simply plug the pins into a factory plug?

I was going to order them online and install myself till I saw the installation instructions and that you needed a flash for them to work properly. I went ahead and bit the bullet and just paid the dealer to install them since they were doing the lift and tires anyway. I paid like $310 total ( lights and install ). I think it was worth it. I think there were like 70 steps in the instructions and the Mopar installation time was like two hours. I initially thought I would just be able to pop them in.

Thanks for the response. I think I will do the same. I too initially thought it would be as simple as popping them in and there would be some existing harness to put the pins into. Thanks again.

Nice! Do you have any rubbing by chance?

Zero rubbing/scrubbing/trimming at any angle. I have about 1” of clearance on the backside from the UCA.
