Danny Gaston only had a factory 2" lift on his ram and put 35s on though. I figured if I put my leveling kit on and my bigger blocks, I might be able to?
Plus his is the Off-Road edition Ram, so it sits approx. 2 inches higher than normal ones. So he has like a 4 inch lift if it weren't an Off-Road.

You can put 35s on a stock ORE, BUT you gotta have backspacing of 4.5" minimum. They will clear BUT you gotta grind the body pinch seam on the inner fenderwell. The tire will contact at roughly 50% to lock with slight uptravel. Danny just didn't admit that on his site. You'll see later he bumps the front up with 2" pucks to clear the 35s completely, but it's still very close. I can verify all this with my own ORE.
I guess if he don't sell them today, I'm going saturday morning to try them out on my truck and see how they will do. Might have to get a 3" body lift someday.
