I bought a new 2019 1500 Tradesman Crew Cab 4WD in June 2020. It's "work truck" for me to use to carry my 2 Doberman Pinschers camping in the southeast National Forests. I didn't even keep the back seat in for years. I have a screw in a front tire and of, course, rather than plug the tire, I'm looking to add a 2 inch (Mopar) or 2.5 inch lift kit to the front and back so I can use larger tires and still get in and out of it in 10 years ( I'm 64 years old now).
The truck has the stock 17-7 wheels with P265-70R17 tires on them and I would like to go to a LT 285 on the same wheels if possible - or different inexpensive wheels. I'm just trying to get a little more ground clearance while looking for trout streams to camp at. I will not be doing any mudding or rock climbing.
I would appreciate opinions on the MOPAR 2 inch lift vs something like Rough Country 2.5 inch lift and thoughts on tire sizes and wheel combos. I've used the search feature and found some info.
Thanks. (I'm not sure what the heck happened to the photo)
