33" tires on the leveled out 08 Ram QC 4x4
#13
#14
It's a Tuff Country leveling kit (spacers) 2" lift.
I think it cost me like 75 bucks?? Maybe 80??? I got it from suspension connection.
The tires i have on there currently are WAY worn out. They're pretty much at the wear bars.
Them goodyears are garbage. I'm sure its been discussed heavily but good god.... 20K miles???? Gone.
Never again.
Also, i might add.... that i took it for a spin afterwards. The alignment seems PERFECT! Seems as if no adjustment needed whatsoever. What i did... was seatbelt the steering wheel in place. Not sure if that made a difference or not, but regardless, it's tracking straight. I'm still gonna have it aligned once the Terra Grapplers come in. Take it to BEHR alignment and let them do their magic.
My intention was to actually post about 12-15 pics showing the progress throughout the day and the snags you could potentially run into and what i found was beneficial and actually lay out a tool list you'll need.
So far, it's 5/8 box end and socket. (Ratchet wrench will come in handy too)
13/16 wrench
15/16 wrench
9/16 wrench
10 mm wrench (to hold the bolt end of the upper control arm and tie rod end while you wrench off the 13/16 nuts.
screwdriver to help pry the shock back into place after spacer is in tact.
And that's about it!
BUT... i can't seem to post pics the way i want to describing each pic. Frustrating. Anyone with some knowledge on how to do this, let me know.
Thanks!

Yep, just upload your pictures to photobucket (for free) and then you can paste them directly into your post... and add a little caption below if you would like.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the 33's... isn't that a stock size tire with the 20's?
Truck looks great! Well, aside from the color hahahahaha

yeah, as far as the truck being stock 33's... I think it's close. I think the tire size stock is 275/60/20... which by my calculations, i think 275 is 10 inches. 60% of 10 inches is 6 inches. 20 inch wheel, 12 inches of sidewall, make it 32". I got 305/55/20 tires, so 305 is like 12", 55% of 12 is 6.5 inches. making that grand total, 33 inches. So... I think stock is 32, I mean, i could be wrong, and I'm sure there's more of a tire expert on here than myself, but as i do the math, that's what i come up with. So, it's not much of an improvement, but even if it's an inch, that's better than nothing. But regardless, i like the way the Nitto Terra Grapplers look, anyway.
Actually, looking at it further, you're probably right. 275 is like 10.8 inches. So... yeah, not much of an improvement as far as tire sizes go.... but oh well.
