New Truck - Ideas welcomed!

[EODMatt]

Just purchased a ‘19 2500 Cummins 4x4 Crew Cab Long Bed. Very happy with the purchase price. The trim level is a Tradesman. I actually wanted the rubber floors and seats. I do have a number of things I’d like to upgrade. I’d like to get larger wheels and tires - possibly a small lift to fit 32/33’s. Coming over to dodge from Ford. I also like the higher trim levels front LED lighting, not sure if that’s a plug n play upgrade, but I look forward to seeing what parts I could upgrade. Been looking at fender flares and running boards as well. Any ideas on upgrades from tradesman features are welcomed! Love the truck! Look forward to being part of this forum community.

you won't need a lift to fit 33's. i'm running 35x12.5's on 18x9 wheels with no issues.

Damn, that truck looks sharp, no level or lift? That’s great. I like that bed cover/soft shell you have too. Mind keying me in on what the make/model is?

no lift, no level.. the cover is a softtopper unit for the short bed. very versatile.

Welcome. On a recent off road stint I am very glad I have the Vinyl in my 4th Gen RAM. The mud was stinky, wet, and sticky, but it wiped right off.

Your tradesman already has 33 inch tires, and as mentioned 35s fit pretty easily.

Thanks for joining us!

My truck has 245/70r17 tires.. I didnt think those were 33s. I think that’s 31.5.

I didn't realize the other tires were 245, I thought they were 265, so yes your tires are only 30.5 inches.

But a 33 inch tire is the optional size, and a 35 will fit with stock suspension.

Sorry, for the hiccup

Good to know! Thanks for the info, I suppose if I wasn’t so cheap I’d have got bigger wheels and tires initially, Oh well. Hahaha.
