Yes I am debating between the BDS 3” or 4” lift or the Carli 3.25” and either 315/75/18 which is 36” tire or 37” tire and new rims or Carli 2.25 and 35x11.5x20” on factory wheels.

you can get carli 3" springs as well, just another option.

i run 35/12.5r20 duratrac;'s on stock wheels and have very minimal rubbing at full lock not enough that i ever have honestly noticed since i have do K turns anyways since its so damn long.

But 35's look small now on these trucks, according to thurn website you need offset of +18-25 to avoid rubbing and minor trimming to fit 37's stock height a guy has done it here and looks wicked with 13.5's.

attached is 37's stock height. not my truck just in awe of it.

So..Those are 37's on a NO lift stock suspension? Looks way to close to front of tire to bumper and wondered if it definitely rubs?

Correct that is what was posted and from the thread that he posted on to my knowledge. attached is where he trimmed, according to thurn suspension directly on their site you do not need a lift to fit 37/13.5's just minor trimming as pictured and proper offset.

It does great, I upgraded to the 2500 because of the TT. Very steady, and smooth
I did the exact same. Had a 15 1500 and went to the 19 2500 Hemi when we purchased a Momentum 21G. It currently pulls great. I’m just trying to get insight before I level and go to 35s. I don’t want to hurt the capability of the truck. Thanks for the reply.

Thats the reason I didn't level. I didnt notice any sort of performance decrease with the 35s. Stock tires are 33's I believe, so not a huge jump there. I wanted to keep the level ride when towing, so I left the stock stance, it looks good imo so im not worried about it. If i leveled I would probably add an airbag system

Agreed. Already have my eye on the airlift 7500 system to help with the rear squat if leveled. How do you think your truck would perform on 37s pulling your set up? Asking because the only other option I would consider is the ReadyLift SST 3/1 kit.

@kingkyle I believe the hemis come with the 4:10's so you wouldn't notice a huge loss of power just fuel milage.

Truck looks nice can I get a full side view pic please also if you could tell me where you got your fuel pump recall done and when? Im in Santa Clarita and my dealer still is not doing the recall yet.
I’m sorry I just noticed you have a side view pick. I noticed you still have a little rake to stance with the 2.25 lift did you raise the rear at all?

I called Bakersfield Chrysler jeep due to knowing a top diesel tech that used to work at Haddad Dodge now works at Bakersfield Chrysler jeep, He is performing recalls all the time when pump failure happens on these trucks. Did your fuel pump fail yet? If not, they are not moving forward as of yet due to parts being limited available, from what I was told by my tech. I'm not certain as of today if anything has changed as far as parts availability. Service writers are not privy to all the information that is out there. My tech was in actual contact with FCA engineers during my specific repair process. My actual case manager from FCA/ Stelantis was a little helpful but even was not 100% privy to all the info the actual techs have. My case manager said it was impossible to moving forward on recall due to parts and procedure unavailable at the time my truck was in the shop being repaired by the tech. LOL! My tuck pump failed Decedmber 22nd. I dropped off my truck on December 27th and picked up after completed warranty repair on January 31st. Tech confirmed new updated CP3.2 pump was installed. I still have an open recall on pump due to no update by FCA. Once they have update and letters go out to owners, I will have to take back to tech at dealer to close recall repair.
No lift on the rear. I am going with Thurens leaf pack soon and airbag setup after.

There is absolutely no rubbing. I also have the alien arms from Thuren to eliminate radius arm rub with stock wheels. They are definitely worth it! My personal mpg with 37's has been 13-14 city & 16-19.98 highway anything over an hour drive. Mpg is calculated tank to tank fill ups. Not the computer, that thing is junk.
Towing, I feel its still great and I'm towing 6500-7k with boat.
