Default Tires

I have the 245/70r16. What can I run on my truck in a truck tire that will fit non lift and will not mess up the speedo?

I ran 265/75s on the 16x7 wheels that come with the 245/75 stock. No lift, they didnt rub as far as I can remember, you may want to do a 2" lift, its only $100, since your going to spend $400 on the tires. But yea, 265/75 will fit. The speedo will be off, but any dodge dealer will adjust to the new tire size for $20-$40.

Where are you guys picking the parts up for $100 for the 2" lift. Around here they want $250 just for the leveling kit.

I got mine from Autoanything.com. Trailmaster DL223 leveling kit http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...0A2509035.aspx

The instructions in the box may or may not be outdated so be sure to install following the updated instructions from Trailmaster's website: http://www.trailmastersuspension.com...ions/DL223.pdf

You should be able to get away with 265/70-16's.
