with a 5 speed you will need a better clutch and still need better gears then 3.55. Oh and they will rub the controll arms but who cares about that just dont turn to full lock or expect it to make a horible sound when you do, But wont hurt anything. well might take out a few side lugs after a while but..... like i said who cares

Picked up some BFG A/T's cheap. 315-70-17. Measures 34.36in. No rubbing at full lock, and it drives nice and smooth. Find myself downshifting to 4th a lot more on the hwy than I used to, but what do you expect, theyre big tires lol.

How in the hell did you fit a 16" tire on an 08 ram when the smallest wheel you can put on one is a 17"?






Keegan, heres a pic of olyelr when I had 35x12.5's on stock 17" wheels on it. This was with 6" of lift, so not much bigger than yours. You should clear just find, except the small rubbing on the control arms while turning.

Just simply upload them to a free internet site such as photobucket. Then, simply copy and paste them into your post

35's here, only prob is they rub the control arms at full lock--not a big issue. As for the gearing, I wouldnt recommend 3.55s. Mine dogs a bit with 4.10's since i got the 35s.
