Default Kore Recon & 35's BF A/T's

Kore Recon & 35's BF A/T's on a 2007 RAM 3500 5.9l...? Good idea? Tire rubbing? Tire size ok? Any remarks? Other things to install at the same time?

And how are EATON E-Lockers?

Just installed the Kore leveling kit on my 07 ram and love it so far. I plan on going with 35" tires as well. So far the only I've found with an E load rating are the toyo mt's and the interco truxus. I point this out because the bfg's only come as a D load rated tire. The truck came with E load tires for a reason. This all goes out the window of course if you plan on upgrading to 18' wheels.

BFG's DO come in an E rated tire. We just put them on my father's 98 1500.

If you found them in 35" in E could I have a part number please. I haven't found them in E bigger than a 33 for a 17" rim.

Make sure u get an adjustable trac bar. When doing the leveling kit, your axle will be offset towards the drivers side.
Had mine on for a couple months and love it so far!!!!

My buddy just got these for his 3500 mega cab 4x4 and says they kick A$$. He had the Toyo MT priorand likes these better, plus they were about 60 bucks cheaper. One more thing, they are load range "E". I plan on getting a set this winter myself. Check em out & read the reviews.

35" BFG A/Ts do not come in a "E" load rated tire for 17" rims. I just took a set off of my truck and they lasted 27600 miles before they started cupping on the inside. I did everything I could to stop them from doing it. Finally went to 18" rims and some Pro-Comp xtreme A/Ts "E" rated with the advice of one of the moderators on this site.
Oh, does anyone want to buy 4 stock chrome 17" rims for a 2004 Dodge 2500.They have 35x12.50x17 BFGs on them. 2 of them are wore out the other 2 have some tread left and the spare is brand new, never been on the ground, and it is mounted on the stock spare rim. Need to sell all 5.East Texas area.
