Nope, still got the stock gears. Yea, I have a 4.7, and I haven't really noticed much of a difference. I thought being the 4.7 with stock gears it would kinda struggle for a while, but not much of a difference.

 

thats awesome, exactly the info ive been waiting to hear, now i have no worries about getting lifted with 35s with my 4.7 2wd speaking of which i saw a 2wd Titan down the street from me today with 38s and a 10" lift. guess nissan suspensions are stronger than dodge's cuz he said he's had no problems with it all and he's had his setup for over a year now

 

I think 6" lift and 35's is just about perfect for the 2wd's. I like the look of 9" of lift with 37's, but it seems to be on the edge of what the IFS can handle. I have the 6" fabtech with 35's on 18's and it handles perfect, and maintained good power and gas mileage.

 

okay, if you got a 2wd the 6 inch lift and 33's on mine look perfect. 35's would rub. With a 3 inch body lift on top of that with a true 35 tire would look perfect.

 

I meant not rub, but be close to rubbing or at least look like they would rub.

 

Mine don't rub, and they look great.

 

I think something might have gone wrong with my install my cross member and lower control arm touch at full turn. Weird. Maybe if I put a level on it, it will extend it more so that they don't rub.

 

Your lower control arm is bolted to the A-frame. How can it touch anything? Your outer tierod can touch because that's what moves in/out with turning the wheel. Now there is usually a bump stop either on the frame or the control arm to stop over turning. With a lift, the angles can change and cause it to touch sooner!

Post up a Pic OE so we can see what you are referring to. We'll square ya away.

 

hey creative what backspacing are you running with those new wheels? I've picked out a set of 18x9.5s but my size and bolt pattern only come in 4.5" BS. I've heard on other threads of guys rubbing a lil bit with that much spacing, but they all had 10" wheel widths. not sure if that really makes a difference though since i'll have the same 12.5" wide tire. i've seen other rams with 4.5" of BS and love how the tire sticks out just a lil more with that setup, would look really tough with the fender flares, just not sure if i need to prepare myself for some trimming or not...

 

You 4x2 owners are better suited to run bigger tires than us IFS 4x4 truck guys in my opinion. Although you'll wear front end components out much faster than normal, you really aren't risking a catastrophic failure like we are if you don't go crazy high. You have NO CV joints to break!
I still really wouldn't go past the 6" / 35s personally, though...
