What’s a respectable non-bro height lift/tire for a 4x4 truck
Posted on 2/25/24 at 8:33 pm

I just bought a 2020 big horn with factory 20s on it. Decent looking truck with hardly any miles (28k) but the way it sits kind of irks me. Slopes forward and the clearance simply doesn’t look off-road height the way it is. And whatever tires they slapped on there to sell it are inexpensive street tires and look like they’d spin in an inch of red mud, so they’re going anyway
Note: Im a middle age guy with kids and not going for the jacked up, try hard look. The most off-roading it’s going to do is riding around 30ac of pecan fields shooting squirrels and occasionally to some sand pits up the road to shoot guns and run my dogs
So really I just want something beefier looking that can handle some light off road driving without messing up what seems to be a pretty smooth ride in general. TIA

2in level with 33s is about right between flat bill and pawpaw truck height.

Toyo open country RT is a good on/off road tire.

Leveled front and rear with 295/70’s

I'm a fan of 35s. I don't think they are too much. 11.50 width instead of 12.5 makes a big difference.

Level it with 35s. 33s look to small in the wheel wells

I went full on baw and did full lift and 37’’s on my 22 F-250. I did just a leveling kit and 37’s on my 2017 F-250 but it rubbed at full turn so I went with after market wheels and a 5.5 inch lift on the new one.
I think if you stick with a smaller tire like a 33 and leveling kit it will give you the look you want without rubbing.

2" or level kit with some 295/60's Anything higher than 2" and i would recommend a full-on left kit to keep everything at the correct angles.
highest I would go is 4" lift.
Skintback has a Ram with a 6" BDS Lift and i think 35's. I'm not sure he would have to say. I think he also put Airbags in the rear of his.

I have the Nitto RGs on my TRD Pro, the first set didn’t last very long, but I got slightly larger and stepped up from P to LT models based on Discount Tire suggestions, they claimed I’d get 2X the mileage and they are wearing much slower. This is prob moot in an F250, obviously mileage went down as they are bigger and much heavier tires.

I have been doing front level kit with shocks and Nitto ridge grap 35’s on my last couple of trucks and don’t think it looks too childish for a middle aged man. My kids have been trying to get me to go to 37’s on my new truck, but I think I am going to stick to the 35’s

Heed these words - with the 5th gen Ram's you have to be very specific and do your research. Ram 1500 have the Off Road Group or Rebel and NON Off Road Group. The Off Road group and Rebel are 1" higher than the NON, but the control arms and other components are the same. So if you put a 2" spacer on an Off Road Group truck you are technically 3" higher than a stock/NON off road group truck. Ball joint angles come into play and new control arms are almost a must. Trust me, I've been down this road a few times.
Also the ORG gets it's height from longer springs/struts in the front and longer springs in the rear. If you did a coilover swap on an ORG truck and let's say it's a 2", you will only net 1" of extra height. Rarely I've seen manufacturers specifically say "XYZ" height over Rebel/Off Road Group.
But the generic answer is 2" with about a 34" tire. 275/65, 285/60, 285/65 or 295/60. Below is a pic of my 19 with the Off Road Group. In this pic I have a 2" front spacer, 1" rear spacer, new control arms and 1.25" Bora wheel spacers with 275/65r20 BFG KM3's. Would I do it again? No because I had some kind of bottoming out clank going on. But at the time there were only 2 options on the market for the 5th gen rams. Do your research!

How about asking your husband?

Don't know about full size trucks, but if you go to bigger tires in a Jeep, you may have to re-gear.

This should be an OT thread.

I got 4” and 35s on my 2020 z71 and it looks good only because these trucks come sitting so low from factory.
Also something to consider is that 33s aren’t 33s any more and 35 is going be closer to 33”. I prefer to run metric LT tires that are taller and skinnier. Get a lot of miles out of 10plys on a 1500 and f you don’t mind a little rougher ride.

I run a 3 inch "lift" in the front with bilstein 6100s and dirtking arms.
One inch lift in the rear.
Currently running 275/70r18.
Just ordered a set of mickey thompson baja legends in 295/70r18
Not so much bigger, as wanted the snow certification on the side.

it very much depends on the vehicle, but for me the right answer is 33's or 35's

So I stopped by my local shop guy who occasionally does repair work for me. Super sharp guy who’s certified to work on just about anything you can name
He said for what I want, if it was his truck he’d install these Bilstein B8 5100 adjustable front shock set
He said he could adjust the front up 2in to level the truck and could possibly even improve the ride over factory. But obviously there’s multiple ways to skin a cat
And still trying to sort the tire situation. Opinions seem to be all over the place on a decent looking sub $400 tire that isn’t annoyingly loud

Leveling kit with 33” Toyo Open Country AT3.
At3 is quiet and rides good. Also very durable.
