i have a 2001 dodge ram 2500 4x4 exxt cab short bed and it has a 2in leveling kit on the front and i can clear 35x1250x20s just fine off road and on road i have no problems. i mounted up a set of 37x1350x18 on 18x1o wheels with 4.75BS and when turning the tires rubbed on the bottom on my front fenders it was like there were roughly 1.5in to wide. now i been reading up on some stuff and i'm gonna install a 3 in body lift and i was thinking about installing a new 3in leveling kit and a 1.5 add aleaf in the rear. in hopes to have close to about a 5-6in lift which what i'm doing do u guys think ii'll be able to clear 37x1350x20 or 38x1550x20 nitto mud grapplers?


any advice is would be great

 

You shouldn't have a problem. If you do, nothing more lift won't fix lol. You've already got a 2500 so you're good there. A 38 15.5 is alot of tire and mud grapplers are heavy.

 

What gears ya got in your diffs?

 

i have stock 4.10s front and rear i've got the dana 60 front and dana 70 rear with my 35x1250x20 toyo mt and 20x10 mb gunner 8 wheels i can smoke the 35s i don't do much towing any more with it.



the truck has 154k miles on it and the tranny was replaced at 134k with a heavy duty one(costed 3400 for the proformace parts in it) and the rear end was rebuilted in april 2010 and also i have a 360cid

 

I think the the 38's are gonna be to wide, the 37's should clear without a problem

 

I would invest in Spicer or Moog, cause you're going to up the price of ball joints.

 

I think the truck is going to struggle at low RPM with the larger tires, and the 4.10 gears.....

 

Yeah 4.10's and 38 15.5's is gonna be a dog.

 

yea u should atleast have 4.56s for the 38s

 

i have a 3 inch suspension lift on my '99 1500 and am running 35 nitto mud grapplers and mine scrub when i turn hard. i think since you have the 2500 you should be good to run 37's.
