Hello everyone, looking at getting new tires for my truck...but like always don't know what will fit. Have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab short bed. With a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift. I would like to 39.5/15/17 Super Swamper TSL's on it. I have Dick Cepek DC-1 black rims... will they fit underneath or am i going to need more lift? If so, what else can i do to get it up.

THANKS!

 

Why such a big tire? I would think you need to go higher without rubbing issue's not to mention offset.

 

There's no such thing as too big when it comes to lifts and tires...haven't you learned that by now?

I agree though, the offset is probably gonna be more of an issue. That, and I'm not sure about the radius of the fender wells, you may have to make more room there too. If you don't want to lift it more, you could do fender cut-outs. That would net you some clearance. What offset are your rims?

 

CV's won't handle it! If this is for anything other than looks you need to rethink it or get a truck with a solid front axle...

 

I have 37's on there now just wanted to go bigger. I want super swampers on there for both playing and looks. I have a backspace of 4.5 in. and offset of -12mm

 

The 39.5's will put so much more stress on everything than the 37's are right now. It doesn't seem like a lot, but when you get to a certain size, it all depends on truck capabilities. As Hammer stated, your likely to break something without upgrades.

Here's a chart I found. It's for the older Rams, but it can't be that diff. http://www.djgaston.com/offroad/faq.htm

Do it.

 

granted it'd be cool to see...i'd have to say stick with the 37"....gonna end up stickin more money into and after it's said and done, you coulda got a 2500 with a CTD and had alot more fun.....i guess if you got the money then go for it

 

I think thats what I am going to do is stick with 37's. I didn't have the money at the time to get a CTD. Wish I would of bought one now.

 

got any pic's of your truck???
