5th Generation 2021 Ram 1500 4x4 3.5 Ready lift

[JBradley]

Good morning,
I just wanted to add a few photos and measurements along with wheel and tire size incase anyone is curious about the 3.5” ready lift for the 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4.
This is a 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
3.5” ready lift
20x10” wheels with a -18 offset
35x12.50 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires
Very minor trimming to the plastic inner fender wheel well
Speedo does need recalibrated due to larger tires. It’s 5 miles faster than what the speedometer says ! If speedometer says your speed is 65 it’s actually cruising at 70!
The shark fin on the roof will rub at 6ft 8”.
You will loose roughly 1 mile per gallon of fuel but totally worth the transformation.
If anyone has any questions please feel free!

I'll continue to say it until I'm blue in the face, but if you're going to lift the Ram, 3.5" lift and 35's looks perfect in my eyes. Your truck looks great. I hope to get there one day.

Honestly I was worried about messing up the quality of the ride. From the factory these new Rams ride like a Cadillac, surprisingly it still rides very nice! I haven’t noticed any difference!!

I put the 35’s on the wife’s truck..

I love the struggle to get in, and the way she eats fuel with less steering radius and I wouldn’t change a thing! I love this beast
Lol just bugging

That’s a nice setup! Love the look of the sport hood too!

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. Love the sport hood and how the cowl impedes the window, looks great on the inside!

I am going with the same setup. Was afraid to go with just the readylift 3.5 kit on it's own due to all the reviews about the ride going downhill with the use of the preload spacer. Put an order in a few weeks ago for the Bilstein 5100 adjustable to use in place of the preload spacer in the kit. Those are on backorder until August.

Did you ever find a way to recalibrate the speedometer? So far RoughCountry does not support the 2021.

There are a number of products that are sold on the market that plug into your truck that allow you to go in and change the tire size! This will allow for accurate speedometer readings. Also if you feel like your truck is shifting at a little higher RPMs it’s probably due to the same issue. Once the speedometer is recalibrated then that should smooth out aswell!

Yep, seen those but they don't support the 2021 with parksense is my understanding.

Let me do some checking. I have not had mine done yet.

Other option I guess would be the dealer. I read last night that the TazerDT would work as long as you keep it under 35in Tires.

Not sure if this would work? I used it on my 2020 sport
