Hi! I'm new. My name is Toni and I'm from Spain in Europe.

I have some questions about one 2005 Ram 1500.

Probably I buy a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 and I want to make some changes on it.

First 6 inch lift kit and 20 inch wheels with 35 or 38 tires M/T...

What do you think about? I want to see pics of Rams on 20/35 or 38 and 6 inch lift kit. Anybody can show me?

Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks for everybody!

 

hey there toni welcome to df your english wont be any worse than some on here. theres alot of trucks on here with that setup and theyll chime in soon just look in the sigs they have pics there....dont be shy to ask questions there is alot of useful info here....

 

Welcome to the forum

I hear that 38's are hard on the IFS. 35's will be better.


IFS= Independent Front Suspension.

 

Hi.

A body lift is the same of a 6 inch lift kit? Are diferent things? Complementary?

In google:

Body lift:






6 inches lift kit:



If I want to put in my Ram a 6 inch lift kit is necesary to put a body lift kit too? Or only with de lift kit is done? And to put 37 inch tires?

Sorry about this but I'm newbbie...

 

Hi.

This truck have a 6 inches lift kit and 35x12,5 tires on 20 inches rims... Is a good combination? Looks great...



Maybe 37 inch tires are so much...

What do you think?

Thanks!!!

 

I would say from what has been pounded into my brain by these guys on here, 37's are a bad idea unless you can change your own cv shaft. A 6 inch or 4 inch suspension lift with 35 inch tires would be ideal. For a description of body lifts compared to suspension lifts look in the offroading section. I know there has been write ups on those.

 

Body lifts are good because they are cheap and you can fit 35" tires with them but they will not be a 6" lift, more like 3"
If you want to go offroad, then get a suspension lift. I would try to stay with 35" but some people here have 36-37" tires and they like them.

 

why not do a 3 inch body lift, and 3 inch suspension lift?

 

I have been to Spain a few times and never even saw a full sized pickup there. A lifted ram would be amazing over there.

 

you could easily run over all those tiny European cars there. parking would be a nightmare though
