If you decide to use your KMCs down the road and want to sell your stock rims, PM me. I may be looking!
Keep me in mind, too! I will be looking for some Off Road rims later on!

Your track bar bracket is nice but I would get an adjustable bar. The reason is that for every 2 inches you lift your front axle it moves the axle back about 3/4 of an inch and over about the same amount. You already have almost 1&1/2 inches over a stock ram. Not doing a correct lift will insure some clearance issues.
Can you point me in the right direction for a tack bar? I want to lift my truck 3".

Can't have a rim too narrow, or too wide. I heard of a guy running regular 40's with a 9" rim. I have an 8", my 33s are fine, but I figure I can go up to a 37 just fine on it. Just see what the hardcore people are using, and what the tire manufacturer recommends for that size, and go somewhere in the middle.

With the offroad edition, you could probably fit 35's no problem. I don't have that extra 2", and I run 33s on my aftermarket rim without any rubbing, even under flex. No lift.

but yours is a 3/4 ton, which IIRC, sits about 2 inches higher than a 1/2 ton non off road

Okay. I thought they sat the same, but maybe not.

The plan I have for my truck to fit 35s is to lift the front up 3" with spacers, and AALs in the rear for 1.5-2". So, it will sit more level, but still have an extra inch or so in the rear for hauling stuff.
