First, do you have a TRX? If so this changes things a little. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want a 4" lift or do you want to level the truck. What size tires do you have now?

I have a 09 TRX4, I have the 4" dodge (superlift) lift kit, 17" MT Classic IIs with 37s. What exactly do you want to do with the truck?

In what way is the TRX different in reference to tire and wheel mods?

The TRX4 has a different strut in the front and it changes which lift kits the OP can purchase/ what mods can be done. There is also more clearance on a TRX4 front so the tire sizes can be different. Different wheels will have to be purchased because 35's should not be mounted on a 7 wide rim

Superlift/Mopar and BDS offer lift kits for the TRX4. All the others can be put on if you replace your front strut with a stock one or get the bilstein adjustables and adjust down to stock height.
