wanting to get closer to a 35. Changed it up and decided to go with the 3.5 lift and 305/70r18. will post after its done
@ColoradoCub has fit 34" 275/65-20's to his OE height, no Off-Road Group Ram with no rubbing. The tires are 34.1" tall. The wheels are near OE +18 offset.
In this thread,
@Paulmg1986 had 295/70-18 on what appear to be OE rims. These tires are 34.6" tall. He had a 2" level kit in front.
The OE 22" tires are 285 wide. People have fit 305 wide tires on OE rims. They are more or less flush with the outside but within 1/4" of the upper control arm on the inside. A+6 spacer or +12 or +15 offset wheels would probably fix that, but move the tire an additional 1/4" outboard. It becomes look and functionality vs. stone chips in the paint.
The level kit manufacturers claim to fit 35x12.5LT tires with a 2" level. With steel springs these kits add a spacer to the top of the front coilovers. Some of the kits indicate that ball joint angle is too severe with just increasing the length of the strut and include fabricated upper control arms. Those kits, such as one from ReadyLift and TuffCountry, run closer to $500 + installation. By putting a mounting spacer on the coilover these kits all maintain OE wheel travel without changing the bump/droop ratio. These kits are all very conservative on the tire sizes they approve, seemingly based on the OE size being the max that will fit at OE front ride height. However, many people have 33" and even 34" at OE right height.
With air suspension, the level kits use an adjustable link to trick the sensors. That raises the front but adversely alters the wheel travel by substituting bump travel for droop, just the opposite of when a sports car is excessively lowered. Given that these trucks don't seem to have a lot of front travel in first place, taking 2" out of the bump, basically running in OR2 which FCA limits to 20mph, seems a bit problematic, IMHO.
FWIW, the Ram Prerunner and TRX don't really do lift. They have a long arm suspension in front that allows more travel (13.5") and wide fenders (not that expensive, from FiberworX) that allow them to get their clearance from 37" tires. They may have a 1:2 to 1:3 bump/droop ratio, and maybe higher. Those kits are expensive, as is painting the fenders. This is an actual customer's 2014; 2019 kits also exist. The 2019 picture is from FiberworX.
