Do you have 3.21 or 3.92 gears

3.21. Do notice a slight difference. But not a big deal

Sounds like a nice setup. I have the 3 1/2” RC with 35x12.5’s and ‘0’ offset Mayhem wheels and had to trim some plastic. You should be good going with the stock wheel offset and not have to trim.

FWIW I have 285/65R20 (34.6x11.2x20) Nitto RG's on my '19 Ram with 3.21 gears and it felt a little different right after install so I purchased the Rough Country Speedo Calibration tool (it adjusts tranny shift points based on tire size) and made mine feel the same as prior to the new tire install.

I was looking at those tires myself and heard from a lot of folks that those Terra Grapplers are LOUD. If road noise is any worry you might want to consider another model. I went with the Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels (for now) over the G2's and K02's based solely on the road noise differences.

I didn't know they made one thanks....I think the Diablo Pulsar does the same thing plus a little boost in throttle response might be good. I wish I put in the 3.92!

How’s the ride?I listen to music loud so I don’t think noise should be a problem. LOL

The Terras are louder than the Ridge?

Keep in mind the Diablo Pulsar is a piggy back PCM unit that must be removed if you take your pickup into the dealer, otherwise it can and will impact your warranty. The dealer specifically told me that the Rough Country unit was good to go and does not affect my factory warranty. it's also ~$500 bucks as oppose to ~$180 for the RC unit (essentially a $320 upcharge for a pedal commander).

It's stiffer but is also more stable if that makes sense.

Yes, that is correct from what i've read and been told.

I thought it was the other way around...

That's not what I found when I looked and asked around. I figured the G2's would've been more mild on the pavement but read and heard a LOT of feedback about the noise they emit.

I have Ridge Grapplers myself and have been very satisfied. They do produce noticeably more noise than the stock highway tires however they aren't what I would call loud.
With the radio on at a normal volume (lvl 10-15) all tire noise is drowned out entirely.

I was initially worried about killing the MPG's with the lift and tire swap but after a bit of a break in period and a few tanks of fuel through it I can say I haven't lost hardly anything in terms of MPG.

Good to know and yes I agree on the Pulsar. I have a Diablo tuner for my 14 Bighorn and there was more flexibility to play around with the settings than now. It looks like ill be doing the pedal commander and the RC like you. I just wish the pedal commander didn't have that black box they want you to mount but i can stuff it underneath somewhere and use the bluetooth to change when necessary.

Why didn't you just run a 35/11.50 tire? I'm leaning toward the 12.5 so that extra inch will probably hurt the MPG for me...

I went with the tire size as it's what was recommended the lift manufacturer as their largest size.
The 285/65 has about 1/2"~3/4" of clearance on the back side from the upper control arms. Any wider of a tire and it'd be too close for comfort.
Additionally, I get (almost) all the of added height, stance, looks and clearance and gave up nearly nothing in terms of MPG's so it ended up being a win-win.
