And this is with the rough country 2in leveling kit

Tires only. No leveling kit.

275/60R20 is only 1" taller tire. No issues fitting them.

I am putting on Bilstein 6112s next weekend and will level it.

No guide that I'm aware of...I just used heavy duty black zip ties. Drill small hole in the upper inside corner of splash guard and attach to frame.
EDIT: They Fit with Zero rub, my dumb A$$ did not install the last screw on my Mud Flaps which pulls them back enough not to rub on the tires. I added the screw now all is well.

Full lock forward and backwards no rubbing? I worry about hitting a hard pothole at highway speed and the side wall bulging out into the uca. Possibly gonna look into a quarter inch spacer to help give it some distance

Yup no rubbing I’ve tried all scenarios. Before I added the screws I was getting rub on both sides when I back into my parking space , now it doesn’t rub at all even going over bumps. Spacers would be nice for looks though I wish they sticked out just a bit more, I think it has to do with the flender flares. I’ve seen this size on the bighorn and it sticks out a bit more.

I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow. I have an appointment to have a set of BFG KO2s put on (285/65/20). I have a Laramie with Air Suspension. I've had 2 sets of BFG KOs on my last Ram and I won't buy anything else. also, I believe the 285/65/20 are about $300 less than the 285/60/20.

Do you drive in snow at all? Like these tires, curious how they handle in snow/ice.

Thanks-

A heck of a lot of information, that I can't thank you all enough for. I've tossing around what tires to get, what lift to get and so forth. I have a Patriot Blue BTS with ORP and I've just decided with all of your help that I'm going to do the Cooper Discoverer AT3 275/65/20 on my stock wheels, and then when I save my pennies, I'll pick up the Mopar 2" lift and put that on after. The tires will give me 2 more inches and the height I'm looking for, and then the lift will complete it when I put it on.

I have stock 275/55/20 with air, what can I do with my stock wheels? seems like 33x12.5x20 will work. 33's are about 295 right?

All 3 numbers determine what the over all size is. Google tire calculator. Start playing with the comparison tool

I have BigHorn built to serve which I believe has the same lift as offroad package + I got 2" leveling kit and indeed the stock 275/55r20 on 20x9 wheels look way too small. Would 275/65r20 fit without any rubbing in full rotation on stock wheels? Or can I go even bigger? It is quite hard to say with tape measure lol

There’s only one size tire for my Ram - 35x12.50R20 ! Don’t waste your money on anything else, these trucks are huge and need a big tire to fill up the fenderwell -see the attachment and you’ll see what I’m talking about

Yes, 275/65r20 will be fine on stock especially since you have it leveled.
