About to get Bilstein 5100's installed on my 19' laramie. Should I go with 33's or 275/65/20 (34")? Was looking at the general A/TX tires... open to suggestions.
I dont do much off road driving but definitely want something more aggressive than the stock bridgestones..

Thanks!

Go with the 275/65R20s. I did and it came out good, zero rub and they look alot better. My mileage really hasnt suffered at all and if anything the eco mode seems to pop on more. I almost feel that the truck is better on gas??

When you go to the 275/65/20, you will have to get an E rated tire. (With the exception of the Nitto Terra Grappler G2)

The E rated tires are heavier, and will ride a bit rougher and will cost some fuel economy.

That being said, I decided on the 275/65/20's and went with the Bridgestone Revo 3's because they look great, ride great, good in rain and snow, and come in only 51 lbs a tire....Most E rated tires in this size are 60 to 65 pounds.

If you are running factory wheels, some 1" spacers complete the look imo.

I ended up with 285/65r20s Wildpeak AT3W’s but on after market wheels with a 0 offset. I have the mopar lift with 0 rub. You should be fine with that size.

Care to post some pics? I’m debating on the Revo 3’s or ridge grappler in the 275/65/20. Also how do you like them so far?

275/65/20 Yokohama geolander GO15 AT with Bilstein shocks on setting #5. Just another option to consider

I have the General ATx in 275/60/20 with no modifications and no rub. They are D load range and were actually cheaper than all of the other XL tires in the same size. I have about 12K miles on them now and I love 'em.

I just had 5100s installed and went with 275/65/20 BFG KO2s. The package turned out great. Curious: what psi is everyone running on the LT tires installed after replacing the non-LTs?

Im running 48 on the fronts and 45 on the rear. I had it at 40 psi but I found upping the psi made the ride and handling much better

Finished by Bilstein's on Monday and then had Toyo Open Country AT3 275/65/20 installed... Bilstein shocks are set to #7. Definitely need to throw a 1.5" spacer in the rear.. Surprisingly it measures almost level. IMG_1340.jpg

Another reference point. Bilstein 5100's front and back. #5 on the front. One inch motofab spacer on the rear. Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner AT 275/65 R20. I know, I know, they aren't Duratracs. My RAM spends 95%+ of it's miles on pavement and I don't haul real heavy, or tow really big stuff. Trailrunners are way underrated for occasional dirt road / back road use. In this size they are Load Range E / 3750 lbs and they are 3pmsf rated. I've had em before and love them. Duratracs are a better Goodyear tire, no doubt about it. But are also as noisy as hell when you get some miles on them from my past experience. And price wise, the Trailrunners are a bargain in this specific size. If you do A LOT OF offroading, or rock crawling or spend time in the mud then forget it - don't get Trailrunners. Look at Duratracs or Falken WildPeaks or BFG K02's or others or a true MT Tire instead. Anyway, here she is.
