without lifting the front 33x12.5 looks real good. Lifting the front end 2" 35x12.5 looks real good...

17's and 20's are both stock for rams.... 17's ride a bit smoother due to more rubber though.... Seriously consider Mickey Thompson and BFGoodrich. Both are great tires..

Two suggestions:
For a great AT tire Mickey Thompson ATZ: Great on pavement, very good mild off-road.


Dick Cepek Fun Country II: Great pavement a little noisier, more aggressive off-road:

My personal favorite...

what's the difference between the mtz's and atz's?

also, would anyone recommend one over the other...cranking the torsion bars to get 2" or leveling kit? pros/cons?
