I ordered this kit today and a 3 inch body lift to get a total of a 10 inch lift on my 09 crew cab hemi. I am going to run a Fuel Hostage 20x12 inch wheel on it. What do you think would be the largest tire i can run? I have heard that our trucks can run a 35 on the stock wheels with just a front leveling kit. Any truth to this? We are going to try to squeeze a 38" tire under it. Im sure we could do a 37 on a 10 inch wide wheel but i really want to push the envelope. Whats your thoughts?

You are right about the 35's ,but on the other , you are going into uncharted waters, kinda like I did for a while, so you will be the first and we will see. that will be a monster....plenty of pictures I hope..

jbgp1200.the truck is 6'-11", at the highest point on the roof from the cement, I hope that helps

Bull, any updates on your lift? Is everything still alright with it? Have you noticed any change in ride since it's had time to settle? And finally, did you get new tires on it yet?

Put em on Saturday, I LOVE THEM, to me they look great, the ride is still great, it seems to handle better, and to me since they are heavier the steering feels tighter, probably cause its moving those dudes.......these are Nitto Grapplers 305/55/20, no fit problems at all, and the balance is on the money...thanks for looking
