What did you do TO your RAM today?

Got the Carli 3.25 Backcountry kit, Carli sway bar, Carli track bar, Carli Radius arm drop bracket, Carli rear Add a Pack with 1” block, Falken 37x12.5x20 AT3s on Fuel Assault 20x9 +20 wheels all installed. I am so stoked, the truck drives so smooth. Thuren King stabilizer will be put on after I get a few miles on the stock one, what to compare differences.160E1223-543F-459D-9875-11A7E6349446.jpeg2A1531EA-678E-4BB6-B899-738E4B7EEFA8.jpeg
 
Just the tip……was installed today…

Another part I had laying around from my 2020, that never got installed. It’s the circle of life with Ram parts over here..

Do the math and it comes out different.
But neither tire will measure what they say when you mount it on the truck and put the air in it you need to get the right contact patch

No need to do the math when the publish the sizes, besides converting the metric to inches is never accurate similar to how flotation sizes are just guidelines.

In this example the LRD 35x12.5R17 and the LRE 315/75R17 LRE are the exact same size, but only the LRE has sufficient load rating for the PW’s axle rating. That may not be an issue for you, but it could be an issue for some.

The d rating is right at 3000 lbs. So that's 12000 pounds total.
Truck weighs 7200 pounds. So thas 4800 pounds of carrying weight.
The truck is not rated for that.

6,200 RAWR with 6,000 lbs of tires. That’s the only number that matters here, since the FAWR is lower than 6,000 lbs.

I’m guessing you installed them at home, as tire shops won’t install tires at a lower rating than what the truck requires.

I don't disagree at all, but the manufacturer will list their specs as designed because there is a percentage window they can use to call it one or the other. And we are also getting to the point in manufacturing where they use the same molds for "different" products. Also why they release the most popular sizes first and build from there. Just like shoes, a size 10 Nike isn't the same as a Adidas or a Puma.
