Hey fellas, i got a stock '02 1500. I wanna put 34-35" tires with 20" rims on it, but i don't know if it will fit with stock height, maybe if i set the torsion bar all the way up and add a leaf spring or two? Any info would be appreciated! Its currently on stock tires/rim, 275/70R17. Thank guys

Look at the sticky for wheel and tire fitment it will tell you what you need to know

 

Yes, read the sticky. You will probably need to level it to fit tires that tall. But to go much wider, you will need a rim with some negative offset and good backspacing.

 

It will fit 35s with tbars cranked but make sure you dont over do it

 

whats negative offset and backspacing? And what do you mean by over do the tbars?
thanks for the help guys

If you over tighten the t bars it will cause parts to fail prematurley. You would see the tires lean in or out as if the ball joints were out

 

Anytime yoy lift or drop or play with the suspension parts, you need to go get an alignment

 

Have fun pushing 35" with a 4.7, make sure you budget for gears or you won't be able to get out of your own way.

 

so a 4" lift with an alignment, and what a 4.7 magnum won't be able to go with 35" tires? c'mon. but I'm prob gonna go with 33-34" tires

 

Everything said/asked here is in the Sticky. Seems you may have not found it so here it is.

33" is stock height for 20's so they'll fit no matter what. Width is issue. Read sticky about all that.

Going 35's reduces your overall gear ratio and inturn reduces your low end torque output at low speeds. You will notice a power loss with 35's because the engine has to work harder to move the larger diameter tires. Works the same was as your front crank on a mountain bike does. Try to pull a wheelie while it's on the larger crank sprocket. Doesn't happen. Same thing except you'll never be able to wheelie your truck...lol
