22.5's

[MRosinski]

Did it the cheap way, got it set-up on 22. 5's for $2,100:-laf Still looks good though. Running traction recaps for drives and new firestone 575's for steers.

You suck!:-laf Damn that looks good... . if I found a deal like that I believe I'd jump all over it too.

Normally not a big fan of those on a Ram but that does look mighty nice.

 

[CookJ]

Nice, very nice!

 

[MRosinski]

Heres some with the plow, not too much clearance w/no level kit and 1300+lbs.

Truck looks really good. Where did you get the wheels and tires for 2100? That is awesome. Scotty

 

[MRosinski]

Got wheels on ebay for about 850 shipped, Adaptors, caps, lugs+covers for 895 and change. Tires I got from a friend of a friend who owns a tire shop who also owes me some body work on my truck, but doesnt have money now so I got tires for super cheap.

where on ebay did you find the wheels?

eBay Motors: 4 FREIGHTLINER ACCURIDE 22. 5 DUALLY ALUM. WHEELS (item 250173850518 end time Oct-15-07 07:38:44 PDT)





I used steel inners that were included with the tire deal. You can get brand new steel wheels for $80/piece at a local truck tire shop.

 

[nitrox2595]

did you lift it? If so what kit did you use? How is the ride and wear and tear? Truck looks sickOo.

 

[MRosinski]

No lift pictured, but I got a 2" spacer for the front, 2" block for the rear. The lift is going on in the spring cause the 19. 5's are gonna be put back on for plowing/salting for winter(and I got enogh work to do on the jeep). Ride is almost identical to 19. 5's. The wear and tear cant be any worse than what the plow does to my truck:-laf

 

[run2trouble]

What size of tire did you go with?

 

[MRosinski]

255/70/22. 5 The rears are about . 5" taller because they are recaps. Zero rub/clearance issues, but without the rear air bags i'd be rubbing while loaded down.

It must have made a big improvement in handling with those sidewalls.

That looks fantastic BTW.

Compared to 17"s there a HUGE difference, but compared to 19. 5"s theres nothing noticable. My 19. 5's are rated for 5355lbs. @120psi LR. G, the 22. 5's are 5510lbs. @120psi LR. H

DONT run them at 120 psi. It will take its toll on your truck.

Run the fronts around 60-75 and the rears around 50-65 and it will improve the ride and not be so hard on your suspension.

P. S. check out my readers rig pics... I ran Kenworth 22. 5s for a while
