Picked up a ‘22 Ecodiesel 2WD. What can you do to these things to throw some 18” methods and 35’s on them to take in the dirt (tiny bit) and cruise on the street (mostly).
Have a gen 1 raptor so not looking to go pre-run the Baja 1000 in the Ram (or the Raptor). Just want the option to hop some curbs and cruise fire roads.

Thanks all!!!

I mean, you pretty much called it there. A set of 18s with some M/T 35s, 12" wide give or take. That's about all you can do.

That said, 2wd open diff is great until you get the slightest bit off camber, then you might as well be driving a civic. Then your big tire truck getting stuck is just embarrassing.

Is there a front leveling kit or anything else to run the 35’s?

Technically I think your supposed to have a level but I made mine fit with a mallet to the fender liners so I don't think you *have* to.

As long as it’s the new body style and not the classic. I would hit @Nick@GotExhaust up and have him set you up with either an eibach stage 2 kit or a billstein 6112 package. Always do front and rear then depending on the look you’re going for I’d probably do an 18x9 with a zero offset wrapped in a 35x12.5 that will give you a decent poke outside the fenders to make it look like a truck

If you are a 5th gen then yes I would absolutely look at the Eibach Pro kit stage 2 or 2R. Great on road ride comfort and added off road ability. The 6112's and 5100's or 5160's would be my 2nd choice but I still prefer the Eibachs. Also if you want to add to either of these the Eibach sway bar has had great results in all scenarios, on road, off road, and towing.

Shoot me a message and we can discuss further and go over pricing.
