I been thinking of going to 35's on my 2025 ram with the hurricane... I always have a hard time increasing tire size on a gas truck because after doing it on diesels and having very little to no power loss...I'm afraid of the difference I will feel trying it with a gas jobby... Will the acceleration difference be huge going to 35's? Or even 33's? I don't want to sacrifice all of the "get up and go" as its very fun to drive. But I also don't like how low the truck sits... I'm trying to find a happy medium where I will keep most of my performance, but I can still get a nice aggressive offroad look... Any advice would be appreciated....

Ps....this is my first post!

Attached some pics of my unit...

Your tires are 32 from factory. 275/55r20 so you can easily go for 275/60r20 without modifications and that will put you on 33in tires. You can find those tires rated S or XL if you don’t want the weight of a flotation size E rated as 33 x 11.5 will weight over 60 lbs each. The XL rated Nitto Ridge grapplers I used to have were about 44lbs each in 275/60r20. Original OEM tires are about 39lbs each if I remember correctly. I’m running Toyo open country RT trail 285/60r20 with leveling kit and off road package. These ones weigh about 57lbs each and you can definitely feel the weight. I don’t care about gas mileage but you can tell the difference. Hope this helps!
