Great looking stance on that! What are your wheel specs for that to not rub? Have you had a chance to flex it out at all? I've been looking for a 38 that would fill the arches better than my 37's. These seem to do nicely

The wheels are Raceline Avengers 17x9 20+ offset. Same as CJC recommends. I’m running Thuren 2” level kit and sway bar.
No I haven’t got a chance to stuff it yet. But it only slightly rubs on the rear plastic inner fender well liner. I also have Metal Cloak front radius arms I haven’t installed yet. So I can still nudge the front axle forward also if needed

Man everytime I see one of these trucks on 38s it makes me want to find an excuse to replace my 315/70R18s. Good looking setup and the metalcloak arms will let you push that axle forward no problem, I had mine pushed forward a touch to make sure I don't rub once I go bigger on the tires.
They work fine at full stuff…

Shrugs... Had a JKU on 40”s and Fusion built axles last. A TJ on 35s before that. I live in Colorado. Off-road activities are my jam. I want my Ram to do stuff and things also.

We run 40s on the Baja Trophy Truck.
As long as its geared fir the tire size you want to run and no clearance issues, go for it.
Only way to gain ground clearance is bigger tires.
I'd run 37s on my PW instead of the 35s I put on it if I did a gear change.
4.10s and 35s seem to be about right.
I've run 35s and 3.73s before and it was OK. But I had the power to push them.

Gotcha, I see the utility.. wasn't knocking you, just not my jam that's all.
Definitely seems like a do-all rig. Can't complain.

Man I love that! I’ve got a 2022 Longhorn Limited Mega with rear air. All you added was the 2” level and your only rubbing in the back? I’ve seen those air ride links that raise the rear 1” for only $33.00.
I noticed you have the Hemi, I’ve got the Cummins, is the front suspension even close?
How far are they outside the fender?

I have the 2” Thuren front coils. Your truck would take the 3” front spring for the same ride height. My front sits .5” lower than the stock rear now vs 2” stock. I had to trim about half an inch off the pinch welds behind the front tire for them to clear at full stuff. My truck has no fender trim of any kind so on mine the tires stick out maybe 1.5“-2”
