Well having to put the tires/wheels on hold for about 2 weeks. Deer hit the back fender of my truck this morning and have to put it in the shop on April 2nd. They are saying 12 days to fix the damage. Have to get a new taillight which from what they said has the blind spot monitoring in it. They are not going to replace the fender but get all the dents out and re-paint everything. They said setting up the blind spot and all the safety features (auto stop) takes the longest and has to be done from the dealer. Luckily I have really good insurance so is going to cost next to nothing and I get a rental. Just my luck that I was going to pull the trigger tonight on ordering everything and setting up the level.

Custom offsets sent me the following

275/60/20 on a 20x10 -18 or -19 would fit on stock suspension no air ride.

I’ll be doing that I hope

You should be good. If you go any wider you might be rubbing the upper control arm.

You should not have any issues with 305/55/20, as I checked the forum multiple times on this size. It will be tight though with factory control arms. This was a size I considered, but ended up going with 285/60/20. I am extremely happy with this tires size. I had the speedometer calibrated.

3.21 gears with 20x9 wheels and 33x12.5.20 Ridge Grapplers on stock air suspension.
It rides great and still gets 16.5mpg on the freeway.

Well I’m still waiting on my truck to be fixed from the deer hitting it but hopefully will have it back within a week. Since then I purchased the 3.5 readylift kit instead of the level. I still want 20s but I am having a hard time deciding on which rims to go with. Will the stock 20s rub with the 3.5 lift and 33s? Thinking about keeping the stock wheels until I find the ones I really want. I have the blacked out bighorn and I have been looking for a non gloss all black rim but haven’t seen anything that I’m 100% sold on.

Edit: 33/12.5 or 305/55 is what I’m actually looking at for tire size

Hostile has a decent set in 20x10 -19 that I have been told will fit nicely.

I have a 4x4 NON-ORP with a Mopar 2” Lift. 305/55/20 on 20x10 -19 offset. I get rubbing only when I reverse left at flex.

You MIGHT rub on the UCA. Some people say they have and some haven't. You could add a .25" spacer with the stock wheels and be fine.

35x11.5 fit just fine
With 2in level
+1 offset
With 3.21 seems a little slower off the line, maybe more than a little...

Motofab, which is great because it required no compression of the spring or removal of the strut top.
Awesome! I'm leaning toward the motofab 2.5" it seems pretty straightforward. But I will say I like the stance of your truck.

from what I gather anything over 2 in and you start losing a lot of that stock shock travel. also something I didn't think about, now that I put the 2in lift on and 35 inch tires, I only got about 2 inch clearance going into my garage!
