Anyone have any pics of a stock height Ram with 285/70/17's on? I want to try and get a ballpark look at how it should come out

Exactly. Mine were 20 dollars a tire, and they gave me one free. So if I have a blowout of the sidewall I'll pay the 20 bucks for another certificate. I have a discount tire 1 mile from the house so fortunately for me no shipping will incur.

I got my NTG for 650$ and they were 265s, so that price sounds right. As far as getting the speedo calibrated I dont think someone can use their superchip on yours, you are going to need your own, or take it to the dealer. I checked into it and the dealer around here charges about 90$ for that.

You won't be that far off on the speedo. Use this to check it out:

Wow, last year I remember throwing a code in my HS parking lot and one of the tech teachers had a superchip and we figured out what the problem was, maybe I should bring the truck by him and see if he can fix the speedo real quick for me with his

if your running 265/70/17 and switch to like a 295/70/17 its only make a difference of around 3 mph more than if you do like a 295/60/17 which is around 2 mph slower than what your current stock tire combo is. so unless you drastically change your wheel and tires it might be more trouble than its worth. but remember its different.

Yep, that's what my LT's ran me to. Plus the $60 for the certificates since I only had to pay for three of 'em.

Use the link I gave you if you're concerned about your speedo change. It's pretty accurate.
