well this weekend i got the ram lifted 3 inches with the rough county lift i still havent posted pics because im still buying tires for it because dont know what size to go with im thinking 285 or 305 size tires and i also have 1 question do i have to regear my truck because of the lift and bigger tire or can i still keep the stock gears for a while

 

with 35s you really dont need to. but it is always a good idea to do it if you have an extra $800 laying around to buy them and install them. cant wait to see the pics!

 

your mileage is gonna drop with bigger tires. 4:56 gears seem to put the lifted Rams right in the sweet spot for optimal low end power and mileage...

 

what gears do you have? 3.55's,3.92's what?

 

i got the stock 3.55 gears

 

Im running 305 width tires on mine now but bout to go to 325s this weekend.

 

my friend has 1500 with 6 + 3 lift and 37 inch tires we swapped to 4.56 and it runs like stock, before the gear swap it ran like a stock pinto. if you have the money to invest it is great to have, but to have someone do it is not cheap.

 

Is your truck a 2wd did you do a body or suspension.

 

the stock gears will work for awhile, but you'd deffinitly do yourself a favor by re-gearing....4.10 or higher would work great for you....if your gonna go to a 35 eventually, then 4.56 is the only way to go

 

i have 3.92's in mine and 35's. It runs 16-1700 rpms on the highway at 70ish and it's great
