Kind of off the topic, but I thought they didn't start making an off road package until 2000.

I had read this before on a few different sites. This is the reason I asked about the off road package being on a 99. "2000 Dodge Ram Pickup: A new Off Road Group brought increased ground clearance and wheel travel to short-bed, regular-cab, and Quad Cab 4WD Rams. It included 17-inch alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential, tow hooks, skid plates, and other heavy-duty equipment."

You're going to need a lift to run 37" tires. And you'll probably need different rims with more offset if you're going to run 13" wide tires. And you'd definitely need to go with 4.56 gears. You can go higher than 4.56s, but you'd need to change your whole differential, as I don't think the stock carriers will accept anything above 4.56. Plus your gas mileage will take a big hit with both larger tires and 4.56 gears. It would take an even larger hit if you went with a higher ratio. [>:]
