Rough Country or Readylift 3.5" lift

[Salomi]

That’s great I’m waiting for my rough country lift kit myself as my mechanic is going to install it on my Dodge Ram Laramie 1500.

My Rough Country level kit just came in I’m taking my truck over to my mechanic on Wednesday

 

[Salomi]

Thank you b I showed them to my mechanic

Hopefully you’

The size of the rim shouldn't matter. The overall OD of the rim and tire as well as the rim offset will determine if you have any clearance issues. Most aftermarket rims will have more negative offset and stick out a little further.

tha you for telling me about the 22” tires and wheels

 

[Salomi]

Thank y’all for responding to my thread

Mechanic got the Rough Country level kit in but do I need just the front level kit because I’m putting the 22” tires on my truck?

 

[Salomi]

What size offset should you choose if you want the tire to stick out 1" past the fender with out using wheel spacers?

Didn’t have any spacers with the wheels and tires

 

[Salomi]

Do I need to have a level kit with me adding the 22” tires and wheels?

Went with the Rough Country 3.5 inch lift. Didn’t upgrade the struts initially but I installed the base kit and I immediately called rough country up and had them send the out the $300 struts. Well worth it and I would definitely recommend. Fuel blitz 20x9 wheels. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295 65 r20. Rides great and see pics below!

Looks great...so just the spacers was too stiff of a ride? Probably doing the same on mine

Looks great! Can you come by my house and see if it fits in my garage? ;-) Trying to figure out how much lift I can get away with and still fit.

I went with the rough country 3.5 inch lift with the loaded struts. It's my first time lifting a truck so don't really have anything to compare the ride to other than stock. It rides like a dream in my opinion. I threw on some 18x9 fuel rebel wheels with 35" Toyo open country.

I’m needing a cap for one of my wheels I bought the tires 22” tires and it’s missing a cap. Any suggestions on what site to look up ?

Did you do the install yourself or did you have a shop do it? if you did it, did you get it aligned afterwards?

Doing just fine. I’m around 40k miles total now. Ended up putting some new wheels on

I will say I did have a bad battery and changed it last week, it did take about 24 hours for the screen to catch up on the inside for some reason

Does having the off road package change anything with this lift?

 

[21Longhorn]

the 33's look good with that lift, I was surprised how good they looked, I thought they would be to small, but they looked good even with the stock wheels !! Nice truck !
I hope mine turns out as well.
