Rims/ Tires/ Suspension/ new truck inquiring

[RCrown]

Hello all,

I am a rookie when it comes to Dodge trucks since this is my first 3500 diesel. I am inquiring or asking for knowledge or direction with my new truck. I would like to make it more aggressive looking but keep the same drivability and be reliable. The truck is a "2007 ram 3500 Mega Cab 2x4 dually". I would like to raise the truck up a little, level it off perhaps, install larger tires and rims possibly down the road. The tires that came on the truck is not doing it any justice in the looks department (lt235/80r17e bsw all season tires) looking like roller skate wheels. What recommendations can you offer? Any one have pictures of what i can possibly achieve, or shoot for?



Thanks for you time and i look forward to my new dodge adventures.

Welcome to TDR!



You might want to check into Alcoa or Rickson. I'll try to find some links.



Here's a decent thread:

Welcome! Congrats on your Mega Cab Dually, isn't it cool?? I love mine!!!This is my truck with 265/70/19. 5's on it and a 2" coil spacer in front. Rides pretty good for a 1 ton dually.

I've got wheels on order to convert my 3 3500 duallys to 19. 5" wheels and tires. . I'm going to steel wheels and the same tires on my F550 and the new 5500 I have on order... . than I'm buying one tire for all my trucks... .

I'll soon have a group of 17" wheels for sale.....

We now run new Michelin tires on the front of the F550 and recaps on the read... . the rear are a bandag cap which is used by UPS here... . we get 100K miles on a set and have never had a blow out...

I'm also thinking of changing the 16" wheels on my 5er to the same tire... will know more about this later when I try a wheel... .
