I am looking to put a 3" suspension lift on the dodge and was wondering if anyone had any input as far as brand and what it would look like with stock tires and rims. I have 3 sets of tires for her and don't necessarily want to dump any more cash into un-needed rubber. She is a daily driver with very little offroad use...mostly just dirt roads/trails. not exactly off-roading or mud bogging. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

in my opinion, she will look great with the stock tires and rims. of course, some nice 17 inch wheels and 32 inch tires would look very nice too. either way, its a Dodge and its going to be a beauty.

 

if your not going to be really taking it offroad i would recommend just getting a 2 inch spacer to level it out and run some agressive tire on it. im not trying to put you down or anything but theres really no use for it and 3 lift with stock tires isnt going to look the greatest. plus by adding the lift your only asking for thing to wear out twice as fast and believe me i know that one very well

 

so you have 265's?? i think thats stock.. i have 285's with a 3 inch lift.. pretty much your truck would look like a 2500 or diesel with stock tires.. but i think they come with 285's

 

245/75s were stock on 3/4 ton and 1-ton (SRW) trucks. They were also stock on 1/2 ton models. 265s were optional. I don't think 285s were even a factory option, at least not on the early 2nd gen Rams. Maybe on 99+ models they were.

 

The sport comes with 265's stock with 16's in 97. Not sure which diameter wheel the 99 came with.

What are the three sizes you already have? Would determine the lift or leveling kit.

 

ugh tani?, 3" really shouldnt make stuff wear out fast, by personally installing my lift i was able to look at all the moving parts where things came apart and other pieces and it looks like not going over 3 like mine nothing is really much different just little different angle.

later

 

now see,i did it back wards, I did 285/75/r16s on my truck stock, then added the lift.... I jsut anted ot sit a tad taller than a 1 ton,thats all I was looking for... I LOVE the look, but taller tires Do look better

 

I did the 2" lifted coils and AAL in the rear, and I always sit just a tad higher (as measured by looking at the mirrors side by side and the height of the beds) then any stock 2500/3500 I ever park next to. I'm usually taller then ones with 285's too, but probably becasue their stock suspension has sagged some. Overall, I would say my 2" lift is about as high as a 2500/3500 with 285's unsagged.
I wanted to go with the 3", but was worried about fitting through my garage opening. It was a good thing I did too because I can barely get in with this lift, and can't get in at all if I have the topper on (it sticks up above the cab by an inch or little less). I like to us my garage in the winter time.

 

i have 2 sets of p265/70 r 16"s and 1 set of p265/75 r 16's i am actually looking at just a standard skyjacker 2"lift kit with coils up front and an aal in the rear also thinking about a sj dual steering stab. i think i could pull off a 2" lift and still run the 265/70's without it looking dumb.. what are your thoughts?
