I want to put a 2" leveling kit on front and put offroad tires on. I have 17" rims what size tires can i run? help me i'm confused! what is the tallest and widest. i think my width is 8".

 

For a 1500, I have heard a 315/70/17 will work.

I see alot of 285/70/17 running around. Looks good with no rubbing.

 

can i go with 75s instead? or are they toooo tall?

 

I would stick witht he 285/70/17 if you are going to get mud tires, I had a set on my old truck of Dunlop mud rovers and those were exceptionally great tires, right now I am running bfg a/t ko's and they are not bad, but I think I am goign to go witht he pro comp all terrain next time. I just think that they will last longer, for the 1500 I when I had it I was looking at the dunlop duelers, bfg at ko's, nitto terra graplers, and if you want some nice looking tires that perform well the pro comp x terrains can't really be beat for all driving conditions.

 

I have 295/70/17's on my 04 2wd with no problems.

Out of curiosity how much room do you have int he wheeel well? Do you have pictures?

 

I have the stock ride hieght. I havn't done any mods yet.

 

Are you going ot re-gear the truck if you go a outragous tire like the 315/70 (35 inch)? keep in mind that gas mileage and performace will suffer. Personal advice, 285/70/17 is t he highestI would go on the 1500 unles regear, stronger axles and possible better brake system. The ram is a great truck, but you don't wasnt to go and break stuff to look cool.

 

I just put three inch lift spindles on my 2wd drive and im going to run the nitto terra grapplers a/t in a 295/75/r17 i have already size them on there looks pretty nice as far as a 2 inch leveling kit i would run a 285/70/r17 the bf goodrich a/t are very aggressive looking it's the best all terrian out in my opinoin. hope this helps

 

Whats the deal with the spindles, what else did you have to change out, stuff like the tie rods and things like that....what did the kit come with and what did it cost, sorry for the 20 ?'s but Im looking into doin his and I need all the info I can get
