Sounds like you have a good plan! Haha. I will start looking into spacers then. By the way, thanks for all of the advice and stuff. You're about the only person I have gotten really good info out of. Anybody else I talk to just doesn't know what to say. Haha. I work at a dealership and they don't even know what to tell me! Anyways, I know this is none of my business but, how much did you pay for your tires?

Some people get offended with stuff like that but im happy to tell people what I have paid so they can get a sense of what they should pay lol But my buddy owns a tire and offroad center so I just bring my **** there and tell him my vision and he makes it happen lol I paid just under $1100 for my tires. That was mounted, balanced and old tires thrown out lol I got a pretty damn good deal cause he is a close friend. Are you on fb at all? If you are join the Ram forum on there called "Ram Tough Nation" im an admin on there and there is alot of good info and you get it really quick lol My name is Greg Kates

Well I am the same way as you then. lol that's not bad at all for 35's. I I get a discount at the dealership I work at and for the 305/55r20's I would be paying like $1,040. This morning when I clocked in I told the tires guy to switch the size and that when I was on lunch I would see how much they are. Anyways, I am on Facebook and I will check that out!

Sorry, I should have included info. 2" leveling kit ( Hell bent steel $75 ), 35" Cooper Mudders ( onlinetires.com $1200 ) and 20" Fuel Boost ( onlinetires.com $1120 ). Because I bought the tires and wheels together they packaged them up and mounted and balanced the wheels and tires for free.

It is sitting on a slanted driveway, plus I have airbags in the rear and if I keep them inflated they lift the rear. 2" leveled it out perfectly and I wanted to stay with 2" instead of 2.5". That extra .5" puts more stress on the front end components. After leveling it out and tires the truck almost 4" higher. It has a nice stance.
