I have a 2009 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 that I'm wanting to lift and put 35's under and still use my stock 20" wheels. Right now I have 275/ 60 R20's. What is the size tire I need to get the 35" and how wide can I go without rubbing? What are some good lift options for me that wont break the bank? I've been thinking about the Rancho Quicklift 2 1/2" leveler or the Readylift 2 1/2' (front) and 1 1/2"(back). Both of those are in the $500 or less catagory and seemed to have good reviews. Ive also wondered about a 4" lift. I'd like to stay under $1000 if possible to get a quality lift. Does anyone have any of these on their truck that they could post on here so I could see what my truck has the potential to look like?

Also, as far as tires are concerned. I've been looking at the BFG's, Wrangler DuraTrac, and the Nitto Trail Grapplers. What's y'alls input?

 

On the lift I would say go 6" but sence you want to stay below 1k then you can't

As for the tires I have the Trail Grapplers in 37x12.50x20 and I lovem.

 

yea i have a 2010 ram with the 6inch skyjacker lift kit. i run 20x9 atx wheels with 35x12.5x20 mud countrys. plenty of clearance

 

Got any pics??

 

i have a 6in lift with 295/65r20 nittos on stock rims i have ita 1/4 in spacer to keep from hitting but the look good ....

 

Looks good .

 

Ive seen ppl on this forum put 35's on with just a leveling kit but you would have to put wheel spacers if you use the factory wheels. The most id go with spacers would be 1/4 inch. There is the option of a body lift which is the least expensive next to the spacer/level kit. Performace accessories has a kit that includes the 3 in body lift plus spacers to equal 5 inchs. Cst makews lifts for 2wd's and bds and some other co's makes em for the 4wd,s.
