I'm curious, is anyone running 35s with a 5 or 6" suspension lift + a 3" body lift? Got a good deal on a body lift kit from a friend for my 07, but wondering what it looks like with the suspension lift and 35s im already in the process of getting...

 

i'm sure someone around here has a pic or something similiar, but 35" on a ram with 6" suspension and 3" body are gonna look way tiny....i have a 3" body lift and I'm running 35x12.50x17 right now....personally, i'd stick with the 3" body lift and maintain your stock stock suspension setup.....shouldn't void powertrain warranty that way either

 

Yellow is right... those 35's would look so small. There used to be a guy on here (I think it was dichflicka or something like that) that had the 6'' + 3" and was running 38x15.5's on his ram. If you go that high 12.5 width is not a good idea because your center of gravity would be way too high for my liking. If you are going that tall then I would get somthing that is 14.5 wide just for stability. Or best yet get a level kit and use that with the body lift. The 35's would look good on that. Many can manage 37's on that set up, but those are on 4x4's and I believe that you have a 2wd. 35's would look good on that set up + your suspension would stay at the stock angles + your 35's wouldn't look insanely tiny + you will get better mileage over a 9'' lift + you will save a ton of money vs a 6'' lift + install!

 

I have to disagree with the too small look. Sure 37" tires would look beefier, but 35's will be doable and look fine. Here's a link of a 8" lifted Ram with 35's. http://www.teamxtremeoffroad.com/id48.html
although, that guy is crazy if he thinks his truck is worth $35k.....pfftt...lol
Looks pretty good to me. Personally, I think most guys on here running 35's with just a level kit or 3" of lift is toooo crowded and looks silly. Too big of tire for little lift. A 35' tire will still look better than a stock tire on the 2nd gen 2500 Rams and the Cheby 2500 series tires...lmao Those things were so tiny.

 

I'm with dogg. I also think the rim size plays a big part. You'll need to see some rubber in there to give the sense of a big tire. I'd do 35s on 17s.

 

Wider too. Gotta be atleast 12.5" wide. Most are 13' i believe even though they state 12.5" because 12.5 is generally used more in searches and is old school. You'll need a 9" wide rim so the tires can be as wide as they are suppose to. Squeezing them onto an 8" rim isn't sufficient plus you won't have as much traction to the ground.

 

That would be a lot of lift for 35's. I'm running 33/12.50/17s on my ram that's only leveled in the front with no problem. I did order a 6" RCD suspension and 3" PA body, but that's to fit the new 37/13.50/20s I have sitting in my back room. : ) But regardless of which way you go, I'm sure it'll look good. BTW, the body lift cost almost as much to install as the suspension lift does.

 

yea im still kicking myself for not getting a 4wd instead. who knew i'd start liking lifted trucks? Now my IFS puts limitations on what i can do

 

Even the newer 1500's are still IFS. Unless you get a Megacab or 2500 you will still have IFS with a '09 1500.

 

yea its the 4x4 upgrade i need since they have the solid front axle and can handle the larger OD tires. but its not a huge deal i can live with 35s on a 5" lift, i'll just use 18" wheels for a beefier look and get a few mods like gears, a new chip, & a ram air hood to help restore any performance loss. but now that i know, it'll definately be the 5.7L with 4wd next time around (unless i catch a good deal on an SRT-10 )
