I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 lone Star edition and im trying to add a lil beef to it, i want to bit able to fit 35 nitto mud rapplers without having to trim fenders and without tearing a hole in my bank acct. im trying to get an estimate on how much im going to have to dish out, any suggestions??

 

I just put 35 nitto mud grapplers on my 08 and I got them used with 3k miles on them for 800 and I bought used 20 stock chrome rims for 400...the guy that I bought the tires from said he paid 1500 and some change for them. you will also need to buy some spacers from ebay for 20$ shipped n all...AND IT WILL LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Plus I have a 2.5 inch level

 

umm if you have the stock 20s, you are going to rape your bank account in tires alone

You will need a level and some spacers...I dont know what spacers that guy got for $20 but they will be around 160 for some 1.5 or 2in hub centric spacers (called wheel adapters) and a level kit will be around $100 plus install (unless you do that, its easy) plus the cost of an alignment...topguncustomz makes a good 2.5in level spacer, i think they are a sponsor here?

 

If he has 4wd, why not just crank the torsion bars? Or does he not have them?

 

negative a 2008 has the strut setup, so he could either get the bilstien 5100s and increase his ride comfort/lift or just the hellbentsteel/topguncustomz lift

 

See......I know nothing about 4wd's......LOL

 

I have the stock 20's and i plan on keeping them, so i just need a 2.5 in leveling kit and some wheel spacers and i will be good, and can discount tire put all this stuff on for me?

 

Don't know about in TX but Discount tire was prol the most expensive alternative for me in the NorthEast. I recomend you find a good trustworthy shop to take care of the 2.5" levl. & alignment. DO LOTS OF RESEARCH on your tires. Discount tire quoted me $1200 for my zeons. After TONS of shopping around I got same tire elswhere mounted and balanced OTD for $750.

 

ok thanks, my truck is a 4.7 l v8 will i have any problems turning the tires and am i taking a chance on breaking anything on my truck
