Here's my 99 ram 1500 after my tire and rim swap. I went from 35 in Goodyear wranglers (crap) to 38 in super swamper TSL's and pro comp rims. It has a super lift and body lift as well.

Will do. I'll try and take some tomorrow. Just got it back from the shop today and got all new tie rods, ball joints, and wheel joints. Drives completely different now. Now just waiting on my spohn steering brace and dual skyjacker steering stabilizer to come in.

That thing is a monster. Reminds me of a white 2nd Gen I see on my way to work every day. Very nice!

Thanks. That's probably as big as I'll go. In the last week I've already put about 1000 bucks into it just to get it to ride smooth with those tires. I'm done spending for awhile. Lol

Well today I got my steering box brace and dual steering stabilizer. And this morning I ordered a dual shock mount kit and some new shocks. That should just about eliminate the unevenly rounded tires. Had a shop suggest shaving the tread to even them out but we both came to the conclusion that those tires cost way to much to be shaving the tread off. So we'll see what happens when I get all these parts on.

Thanks for those photo's, can you get one of the front coil-spring and the control arms, this way we can figure out how much suspension lift you have, unless you how that is.

If you are over 5" suspension lift and still using short control arms they will make the truck ride rough and tire vibe will be more noticeable. Are you using balancing beads in those tires or lead weights? I would be going beads for sure with that big of tire.

Edit: I hope you know how to use tools or are willing to learn, ball-joints and hub bearings are going to become a once a year job for you.

I'm using lead weights. Where do you get the beads or does a shop have to do that for you? Heres a pic of the front end.

A tire shop will have to remove all the lead weights, break a bead on one side of the tire and put in however many bags that tire size calls for.

Edit; Hard to tell but I am thinking Skyjacker 7" suspension lift. Looks like the upper control arms are using the lower control arm bracket on the frame end of things.

Is there any numbers or names on the welded on tag on that control arm?
