My "New" 2007 Dakota
New member here. I was forced to sell my beloved 2004 4x4 quad cab. I loved that truck, but due to rust issues and a high mileage motor, I needed to sell it and look for another one. But alas I could not find a decent '04. So I found and bought an '07 4x4 quad cab. I have to say, I don't really like it, but I think I will if I "personalize" it a bit. Right now it is pretty much bone stock. Factory steel wheels wrapped with factory size 245x70-16's. Here is what i want to do. I want to put some pro comp 16" wheels (-12 offset) with 265x75-16's. The calculator I am using says they will not fit my truck. I am assuming the issue would be with the front not the back. These trucks seem to ride low in the front. The top of my rear wheel well sits at 36" from the ground. The front is 2.5" lower. If I raised the front 2" do you think that would clear everything? Do you see any problems with my thinking on this? The guys at the tire store didn't seem to know what they were talking about.
