ok...let me try and rephrase this. can i fit 35s on my stock 1500 4x4 w/ wheel spacers to eliminate rubbing? as far as i herd, it rubs on the sway bar so shouldnt spacing out the wheel help solve the rubbing issue? i saw an ad for this in a mag so, if im wrong please correct me, thats why i posted this in the first place!

oh boy, wheel spacers. Personally I would stay away from them. Some have run them w/o problems but then some have had serious problems. Basically it puts more pressure on the hubs wearing out the bearings faster and they have been known to break off completely ,so use at your own risk I would google it and do some research.

From everything I have read here on Dodgeforum, there are many many many owners who have put 35" tires on their 1500 4x4 rams with no problems, some of them had a little rubbing, but cranking the torsion bars about 6 turns to get an extra 1.5" of lift in the front end eliminated any rubbing they did experience. Even without the cranked torsion bars, the only rubbing would occur if you cranked the wheels all the way in either direction.
