Hey everyone, I have read as many posts as I can handle to try and figure it out on my own, but can't find the answers.

2001 ram 1500 4wd sport stock chrome rims w/stock tire size 265/75/16
Goal- 35" BFG's all terrains maybe mud terrains
I wanna know if I put a P.A. 3" body lift kit in can I put a front leveling kit in without changing anything else???
Instead of the leveling kit should I just replace coils with taller ones???
With the 2" spring/spacer and the 3" bodylift will these tires fit?
I plan on using aftermarketrims that are same size as stock. I leave the wide tires to my quad and Harley
I've done two lift kits in the past year so no problems 1)99 dakota 2)2000 s-10 blazer

I hope I gave enough info, Thanks for the help

 

Every manufacturers 5" kit that I have seen is rated to run 35" tires, so yes, 5" will clear 35's quite nicely even off road.

You will want to run a different wheel to avoid rubbing on your control arms with the wider 12.50 tire. You should look for a 4" backspacing wheel which would be a very common 16" x 8" wheel.

 

Thanks for your help, don't wanna find out the hard way.
Do you think it's better to do the front leveling kit or replace front coils with 2" taller ones to get the extra 2" at the front end?
If I replace stock coils are the shocks gonna be ok?

 

a 2" levelingkit can still use stock shocks, 3" requires the next length up.

 

got it, what about when I add the 3" bod lift kit? still ok w/stock shocks?

 

yes you are fine with stock shocks , your lifting body not the susp... i thougt on a sport if you put on a 3 , 5 , 7" lift you gotta take a inch away ?

 

that's on offroad rams. They come with larger springs from the factory, plus some other things....as for the coils vs the spacers..depends on how much you want to spend. Spacers are very cheap and work well, and you won't lose your ride quailty. But if your coils are sagging or such then you should get new coils, but i think you'll be fine with just a spacer up front.

 

Thanks for your help!!!
