I really like those now that I see them on a RAM. I was on the fence about those- I guess I should’ve taken the plunge.

24" (stock tire dia) fit even on the IHC 4/6, only issue I have had driving was the fronts hitting the fender liner on big dips at 75+ mph with the stock front struts. It does have issues getting into some of the off-road tracks around here where my kid and I race motorcycles but I am planning to raise it to a 3/5 height and that should eliminate that

post up some pics of different angles of those rims, I really like the way they look.

Did you do the full 2 inches in the front? Any camber issues?
Yeah full 2 inches. It has a slight negative camber but i ran it like that for a long time with no noticeable wear to the tires.

Why would you want to do that? It only helps with mpg to have the truck lowered and then the lower air damn deploy

My concern was with a full 2 inch drop the active air dam is gonna be pretty close to the road when deployed. Just thoughts on hitting something. like maybe a opossum lol...

I drive though heavy snow storms and haven’t had issues.

But other lifted guys removed theirs with no codes. I’m leaving mine till it breaks at least.

Mine only slightly scrubs the ground on huge dips/bumps on the interstate. I’m leaving it. It’s rubber, it will be fine and has been fine for over a year.
