Need a little help with lift rims and tires
I just bought a new 2011 1500 outdoorsman and id like to fit a set of 33-12.5 nitto mud grapplers under it there my favorite tires but i dont wanna go big and i dont wanna void my warranty how much room do i need to clear these and what are my options? Would a coil spacer void the warranty? Cause i think ive seen mopar coil spacers so i thought maybe they wouldnt void it then i think i saw rancho and sks or something make what looks like a shock with the spacer right on it and you twist it to go higher or lower i was kinda intrested in that also and i thought about a small body lift i just wanna clear those 33's and the rims im lookin at have a 4.5" for backspace and a -6mm offset but im curious also is the lug pattern on this new truck still 5 on 5.5 like my 04 was? And also do u think the 33's will kill my fuel mileage and chew up parts fast? any info would be much aprciated thanks!!!
I installed 33x11.5 on my stock Ram ST 4x4 without any clearance issues. Yes, lug pattern is still the same. I installed the Bilstein adjustable shocks on my truck last week to raise the front end up a bit. No problems what so ever, but I only set the front shocks at 1.4". I believe your Outdoorsman sits .75" higher in the front end than other models, but not sure. My Fuel rims have a 5" backspace and sit outside the fenders about an inch. No real noticeable difference in gas mileage with my 33s and 3.55 rear end. I believe your factory tires are roughly 32x10.5, so your not really increasing the heigth too much, but primarily the width.

If you have the 20 inch rims I think the stock tire size is about 33" tall. But I know they are not 12.5" wide. I am sure someone makes a spacer that will work. The only thing I would worry about with tires that wide is unless you have fender flares those wide tires are going to throw all kinds of stuff off the side of your truck.
I just put a set of Cooper AT3's 275 65 R20 on mine and I love them. They are 34" tall but they are the factory width. Really fills up the wheel wells nicely and there is no clearance issues. The ride is good and they are super quiet on the highway.

I have the outdoorsman and it came stock with 275/70r17's I love the look of wide tire with them sticking out past the body I may put wider flares on it also but if all I need is spacers that would be great where would I be able to find these for a 2011if u dont mind me asking?
