35" tires on leveling kit

[Iltoys]

So I had a 2016 ram sport and I fit 35/12.5/20 on leveling kit and now I read it's impossible?
Now I have a 2019 gonna put the 2" readylift on and I don't know if I should go the same route or will 295/65/20 fit at least.

Someone must have fit 35" on 5 the gen with stock wheels and level kit?

This is with I have 35/12.50-20 nitto ridge grapplers . Would suggest tire recalibrate but no complaints so far after 2 months.

No air ride on your right. Also that's with stock wheels and no rubbing. What leveling kit?

Truck looks awesome

Correct no air ride,stock wheels and just very minor rubbing on full lock reverse ... but had that trimmed. And rc leveling kit no spacers.

Any chance you can post pics of how close your tires are to UCA. My level kit comes with new UCAS

Close but no rub...

Who TF said it was impossible? There’s like 400 on this site, half of them claim zero rub on stock suspension. Matter of fact, I saw one with 37s and he didn’t even have to trim the factory mud flaps

The problem is guys ask Hey can xxx fit on my stock no ORP no air ride truck with stock wheels. Then guys respond of course etc but then later you see oh yea but I’m on fuel wheels and air ride or yea well I did trim but it was minor u shouldn’t worry about it etc. Double checking before dropping the cash is never a bad idea. Nice looking truck BTW.

Preesh. Yeah, I get that. Honestly the dude wants to make sure he doesn’t flop $1200 on tires just to find out he can’t turn anymore lol. I’ve scoured through the posts here and there is some monster sized tires some guys are running.
For real though, I’d definitely be comfortable going 35/12.50 with 5100s and possibly some wheel spacers (which I plan on putting on anyway) based on what I’ve seen posted by others.

The big draw back for me is the gearing. Mine has 3.21s so it might be a dog if I go to crazy with tires, but if you got the 3.92s you’re probably not even gonna feel a difference.

I hope this post will help to end the debate with facts and not opinions, and become THE post people refer to those who are having a hard time deciding. You already know that 3.92 is better for towing, and 3.21 gets better fuel economy, so I will talk about what you might not know Bottom line...

19 Bighorn with 2” front and 1-1/2” rear, no rubbing with 35x12.50R20 Thunderer Ranger ATr , no rubbing of UCA’s either

I have 3.92 and it’s really stretching to find that gear change...RPMs run to well over 3k usually 3.5k before finding the next gear. Thinking it’s time to get the calibration done. Details in signature.

Until I changed the tire size with my Tazer to get speedo back to correct I did notice the shift points for the transmission were not spot on like they were from factory especially in tow haul. Tazer fixed shifts and are perfect again and yes I can feel the difference going up to 35’s even with the 3.92

I have 37s with the 3:21 rear and the power loss is minimal , 8 speed trans goes to 5th when i get on it where it used to go to 6th but the 5.7 got great power band with the 8 spd , and i have to baby it off the light because it spins these 37s like nothing. Anyone that is worried about that if it helps , it really was not noticeable

Those rims and wheels look great. What suspension setting were you in when you took that pic (normal, OR1, OR2)?

As above X2 - I'm assuming you're in OR1 because it's a Rebel. Also, did you upgrade the UCA's when you the links and spacers were installed?

Great looking truck.

Thank you yes OR1 and yes Mopar uca I posted a long time ago in the 2” Mopar lift threads a pic of the stock UCA and the Mopar upgrade and there is a large increase in angle capabilities with the upgraded.
the thing I like best about this set up is on the highway the nose down in Earo mode the angles are really close to stock so minimal stress on other components. When your not putting on lots of miles I run in normal height and then you always have the OR1 to get over or through something and if you park by a stock height truck this thing looks close to the 4” lifts.

Now that you mention it, I remember your posts on the UCA. I intend to follow suit someday. Thanks!

Definitely possible. I have a 2020 Limited on air suspension. Have leveling kit with revel links and day star spacers. I did not change the UCA, still stock. Sitting on Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5x22. Stock wheels. No spacers. Did not recalibrate the comp. No issues to date
