Anyone lifted a v6 penstar?

Have a v6 penstar ram bighorn crew cab. Is lifting it 2-3” with bigger tires going to stress the engine too much? Stupid question I know since jeeps do it.

Anyone have photos of theirs? Just tinkering with the idea.

3.5” RC lift with 35x12.50 bfg ko2s. Gas mileage not great, little loss of power, but the banks pedal monster helps off the line. I like the look so I think it worth it.

I agree with you, considering all the lifted with 37"- 40" tires I see on Wranglers and Gladiators with the Pentastar, I don't see why not. So many with giant tires, winches, roof tents and other doodads while off-roading on that 3.6L.

Stock for stock, they weigh a little less, but not that much less than a RAM 1500 4x4 short bed, especially compared to the Gladiator Rubicon, just a few hundred pounds difference.

Gear ratio would play a part in this, when I purchased the truck with 3.21's I understood that larger tires would pretty much be out of the question.

i did 2.1 ready lfit 3.5' lift kit (worth the extra money for better lift even if you dont offroad) gas mileage dropped from 19 to 14 but hey the smiles per gallon went up !
