I have an identical truck, did you just change tires? Or do any kind of lift or level kit? If so what did you do. I want to change tires out, and considering the Mopar lift as it will still be all covered under the warranty as well.

Yeah as stated above I added a level kit and the 34’s.

Really love the look of that BTS RAM.

Can I ask what 2” level you went with? Anything for the rear? I want to keep my BTS wheels and use the 295/60/20 Toyos I just bought for my old truck. Any rubbing with your new set up?

How do you like those duratracs? I haven't found anybody around where I live that runs them yet, but I'd like some opinions. I need good traction on gravel roads, snow, and the occasional mud for hunting seasons. Also, did they affect your mileage much?

I have the 2" Mopar lift plus ORP (Off Road Package) springs in the front. You get about 3.5" lift in front and 2" lift in rear with this setup. I have zero rubbing issues.

I bought 295/60R20s. They're supposed to be a 34x12.00. But, when I measure them with a level sitting on top of the tire and a tape measure from the ground up to the bottom of the level, these actually are 0.5" taller than the 35x12.50R17s and 315/70R17s that I run on my Jeeps. I was surprised at how tall these are.

So, for all intents and purposes, my 295/60R20s are really a 35x12.00 tire.

They barely fit. I can slide a nickel in between the tire and my mud flaps in the front. My wheels are 20x9 with 0 offset. They're perfect.
I think you need a new tape measure, no way in hell they are 35 inches tall, 33-1/2” if you’re lucky

I was using a new tape measure. ;) You must have some strange tires, because these are OVER 34" tall and I've had 315/70R17 and 35x12.50R17 tires immediately prior to this that were a hair shorter in diameter.

So I don’t have an air suspension. Will 34” ridge grapplers fit on my truck without rubbing on the 22” wheels?

Did any of you guys add a spacer to the rear when you leveled your truck? I’m waiting on delivery of my BTS 1500. So it has the ORP, and I’m wanting to do the Motofab 2.5 or 3” level and don’t know if I need to raise up the rear as well. Already have Zone UCA’s from my 4Gen I never installed.
Also can’t decide on 35/12.5 or 35x11.5 as I’m keeping the stock 20x9 rims on it. Don’t wanna trim, rub or have to heat up anything in the wheel well.

You are still 3/4” shy of 35

1" spacer in the rear. I have the Off Road package and I did a lot of measuring beforehand. I went with a 2" with new UCA up front and 1" in rear. Still have about 3/4" rake which is what i want. 20200507_171132.jpg

Awesome! That's exactly what I'm doing this week to mine. Glad to see someone do exactly that and it look so good!

This is a good thread...thanks for getting it out there. I am putting the Mopar lift on mine this weekend (have the ORP) and have been looking at a different setup. Looking at a set of 20x9s with 285/65r20 ATW3s for some trail use here in CO. This has really given me a good view of the options.

Recently installed a 2" leveling kit and 295/65R20 (35.1x11.5) Toyo Open Country AT3's on my 2020 1500 Laramie. Had to remove front mudguards to eliminate slight rub at full lock.
