tires and lift

[Jbrinkjr]

i would like to know what size tires i can fit on my stock 2001 4x4 Diesel ram. Also, who makes a good quality lift. Thanks to all.

You can fit 315 75 16's BFG's on a stock 2500,although they will rub on the link bars at full turns,therefore I shortend my steering with stop bolts on the spindles. They work great i'm on my second set, I got over 40,000 on the first. The other nice thing is a 2. 5" coil to level the truck,skyjacker makes it ,around $200 .

Well, I still have the factory stock 265/75/16 Michelin's on, and will keep them until they finally wear out. I just ordered a Skyjacker 2 1/2" lift kit, Class 2 Double Flex from National Tire and Wheel . Cost, shipped from West Virginia to California was $1455. This kit has the dual front shock mount, includes all 6 Nitro shocks, and has both upper and lower control arms with heim joints at both ends of the arms. I also ordered a DT Trac bar to go along with it all. At some point I am going to install Bilstein shocks all around as well. The DT Trac bar was $330.

Hey Tom,

Those nitro shocks are going to beat you to death!! Just my experience,see If you can get the "hydro" one's instead you'll thank me later!
