hey guys, this is my first post here, so any help is appreciated. i have an 06 ram 1500 4x4, and i wanna put some new rubber n a leveling kit. i was wondering what all i need to do if i wanna put a 2 inch levelin kit, with 315/70/17 hankook dynapro MTs on it. im looking at using 17x9 dick cepek DC-1 black rims with it. does everything sound like it will fit and work out ok?
315/70/17 will fit a 9" wide rim nicely. As Hammer stated those are 12.5" wide and 34.5" tall. Onlt thing I haven't seen is the backspacing on the wheels? Most guys go with 4.5" Backspacing, but that will put you out of the fender a bit. You may be able to tuck them in a bit more by going with a 4.75" or 5" Backspacing.
For the level. i'd get THESE Much better than a spacer kit plus you'll get new shocks all in one. You'll need an alignment anytime you touch the suspension, whether it's replacement shocks or adding a level kit.
