This week, I completed all my repairs and upgrades on my 2020 2500 Hemi Tradesman. I posted an earlier thread "2020 Hemi Suspension Wore Out Already". First, I took it to the dealership to fix the sloppy steering, and it turns out I had a worn out passenger side wheel hub. It was replaced and it steered much better. Next, I threw a bunch of parts at it:
2.3" Bilstein Lift Springs for the front
1" spacer lift for the rear
Bilstein 5160 remote reservoir shocks front and rear.
Synergy adjustable front track bar
Icon extended length rear sway bar end links
Carli sway bar
Bilstein dual steering stabilizer

Then I got new wheels and tires- Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 wheels in a 17x9 +18 offset and MT Baja Boss MTs in a 35x12.5

The ride quality is amazing, and the road noise of the tires isn't bad. Tires are a load range D, and I am ok with that. I mainly got a 2500 for the solid axle, and I only tow a 6,000lb camper.

A friend has 40" Baja Boss on his LJ. Great looking tire. Just wondering how they'll do on our big ass trucks. I use to have the old Mickey Thompson MTZs on my LJ. They were great tires until I started ripping chunks off. I have high hopes for the Baja Boss

I think it was from Supreme Suspension. I can't seem to find where I ordered it from and the packaging is long gone. I got this done a week ago, but bought everything a month ago.

If it’s the tire I thought it was then They were released in early 2021.. if it’s the new Baja boss.
 
Been running that Bilstein 2.3" with reservoirs and supreme suspension 1" rear spacer for a couple year on my 2016 and been real pleased. Baja Boss A/T's are on my radar for my next tire.

Yea, kinda weird how they have Deegan 38 wheels and tires. And I think I am one of the last few to get the Deegan 38 wheels. I think they are being discontinued
