Looks like someone must have swapped your R/T wheels for the regular 15" alloys.

 

Seems like it was the dealership that sold it to the previous owner, because like i posted in my pictures there is a dealership door sill sticker stating that it came with 15's".

Not sure, that's just my speculation but honestly thanks for pointing out that I may have had a fraud R/T I can rest a little easier now.. lol

 

I think they all came with the sticker with the information for the 15"x7" base model wheels. Mine came with the 15"x8" wheels (like yours has now) and 31"x10.5" tires (even listed on build sheet), but the sticker still has for the 15"x7" wheels with 235/75R15 tires.

 

Also here is my transfer case shifter, thank got for her I've gotten the durango unstuck several times because I can choose whether I want to be in 4HI or 4LO

 

Don't mind how dirty the inside of my durango is either.. (I let it get really bad, was planning on doing a tear down of the engine a month ago but scrapped the idea because my cherry picker was on order for like 2 months and I am going to be moving for the navy pretty soon to somewhere else.) But on a good note, got onto summit racing today and put in an order for the Bel-6700 shackles so hopefully those get in sometime this week so next weekend I can have them installed on the durango for the 2" T/S lift. Now if anyone has some inputs though on tires because all my plans went out the door when you guys made me realize that I have the 15" rims. (Also I crawled under her today and got a little dirty, was looking at how bad my shackles are right now, and while crawling out I decided to take a peek at my spare, oh guess what it happens to be, a 17" rim, you've got to be kidding me... lol)

 

Bumpity, so no recommendations on tires or steer me in the right direction? I want to get the most out of this T/S lift.

 

The best tires I've ever had were Pirelli Scorpions.

 

Not easy anymore to find some high performance tires with the 17x9 wheel options. Alot of tire makers stopped selling their high performance tires in the 275/60/17 size.

I used to have the BF Comp T/A's on my truck and they stuck like glue to the road. BF stopped making that size for their performance line. Now I have their LongTrail touring T/A's all season tire.

I think Goodyear still makes the eagle gt's that came with the R/T but they are alot more expensive vs the BF's and they are noisy and not as road compfy.

I have been monitoring ebay to see if by some lucky chance, someone will sell their aftermarket 20 inch R/T rims. Looks EXACTLY like the OEM 17 inch rims. Then I can get some good performance low profile tires for the truck.

 

Kensai problem is I don't have the 17 in R/T rims I have the 15 inch rims, so what I am probably going to get this, just waiting on a little more input from you guys.
