Why do you wish you didn't get the off road edition?

I only read the last 2 pages here. You don't ever put coil spacers on a suspension lift. The warranty on the lift would be voided immediately, moreover, its not designed for such hack moves like that. Sorry if that is harsh, but wouldn't want some to spend some coin on a SL only to have it fail.

Regardless of the O/R model, any suspension lift removes the O/R lift. The net lift will always reduce a bit due to the springs settling out and other truck to truck variables. This is the same for a stock truck getting a SL.

You will have plenty of room for 37" tires with a 5" SL and 3" BL. You're only real issue, I think, will be rubbing if you don't have the right backspacing.

Cause the off roads takes 2" of suspenaion off a kit. If I were to have a regular non off road dodge then I would have 5" suspension instead of 3" suspension even though it's a 5" lift kit

Well I have the 5" BDS Lift. So I should be getting 4.5" of suspension for a 5" lift? Will coil spacers cancel the warranty on a BDS lift? What about a leveling kit? Will that void the warranty? And in terms of making the truck higher which one will lift the truck higher? Coil spacers or a leveling kit?

I hope you came to understand after reading my reply (in addition to HeyYou previously) that your response above makes no sense.

You ran out of your limit on questions, ergo forget about the tires and just work on this thing.



Good luck!

Are you planning on using the stock d44 and d60 axles with these 37s?

Nothing is wrong with d60s, I wish I had a 2500 swap for my truck. But from everything I have read you dont want to go any bigger then 35s with stock 1500 axles. Im not sure if the off road edition has a d44 or not but I dont think. When upgrading to big tires brakes come into play and 37s on a stock 1500 kinda seems like its pushing it...

I'm pretty sure I can put 37s on with stock Dana's. But we'll see
