Wink 35x12.50?

i got my buddy of mine that has a 98 1500, sport. same truck, but mine sits about 3 inchs higher then his, his say's sport on the hood as where mine say it on the rear quarter.

also his has 33X13.50s on his, as aposted to my 31"s and i still sit higher, nd i know i have no lift.

i had him turn his heel to the right and left all the way, and it doesnt rub anywhere nor is it close.

i was woundering if i was to put th v10 springs and add a leafs, would i be able to fit 35X12.50s on my truck.

I would say it would depend on the wheel backspacing. You can run surprisingly big tires on many stock vehicles with the right backspacing. You probably have to find some way to do a test fit and see for sure.

Like Ram2k1 stated, with the right wheel/backspacing it will be possible. If you put them on the stock rims I can almost guarantee it will clear the body but it will rub on the control arms.

As far as your buddy's truck being three inches lower than yours, well, that is kinda hard to believe unless his is a 2 wheel drive or you have the off road package.

And the sport stickers came on the hood in 99 and up. 98's and older were on the rear side of the box.

Yea I don't think that you will have any problems. Just get more backspacing.

ok i will check on the backspacing. but that helps, and i looked at his registration, its a 98 and his sport sticker is on the hood, and mine is not really an offroad, he siad between 96 and 98 they made like 4 different off road packages. this is his 6th dodge and they were all this body style. all four wheel drive. i have no idea

i bought it from an old farmer, and i have the stock blocks in the rear w 4 leafs, so there is no add a leafs, and the fronts sit level, no cups and still have the mopar little paper tags nd the upper side of them. unless there is another way i can tell. i mean i sit lowe then the offroad models but the regular rams sit lower then me. besides, i think i will be going to a 34X 10.50 tire. very good ratings on the tire and they are pretty cheap for what they are... super swamper LTB's
