Kelly Hill Did you need to install a new track bar to center the wheels?

Duane Kavanaugh no I didn’t. I live in TX, and just had a shop follow what CJC did. I actually ended up taking the 12.5 wide RT tires off and put 13.5 wide and put TOYO MT’s on it. The tires look better in my opinion and I wanted a type E tire because I pull a trailer sometimes and liked the look of MT better. The tires don’t go all the way to lock and rub some on the inside of the control arm though

Kelly Hill Thank you!

What method wheel and what backspacing to fit the 37s?

Enjoy it!

@@CJCOffRoad I tried taking this idea in to a diesel shop here in Canada and they said they were hesitant because there’s a major wiring harness on the drivers side where they would have to trim. I have the exact same truck as the video basically. I work in the oil patch and drive down lots of muddy roads and trails and the mechanic said I would most likely cause a lot of damage. I already have a levelling kit with 35’s. And they don’t stock synergy in Alberta I guess. Any suggestions to get this look? Other brands perhaps. And! Will it cause wiring harness damage if used in tough work environments ?

We do recalibrate the speedos if customers ask for it to be done. Customers can also chose to re-gear their trucks, but most don't because of the cost in doing so. It's all personal choice, and dependent on the gear ratio the truck was equipped with from the factory. Factory 4:10 and 3:73 trucks can get away with 37's no problem, but the 3:42 and higher trucks get influenced more with 37s.

We have plenty of options for Hemi trucks on the site! Give it a look.

Yep! It will absolutely fit on the truck. 13.5 just takes a tad more trimming, but nothing crazy or noticeable. It’s all on the plastic fender liner and edge of the cab pinch weld in the fender.

Both of the Fox kits with out the track bar are about the same. I'd be curious which one is considered better but since they sell them both I doubt they'll answer that with a straight answer. Also, most people won't shell out a 1000+ each to try each kit out. My advice, you can't go wrong with either.

That set up would require extreme cutting, or a major sacrifice of turning radius.

We've covered that in several videos! With a 2021 truck you likely have 3.73 gears, in which case there's really no gain in re-gearing. The only trucks that we recommend re-gearing for people that tow heavy are the 14-18 3.42 factory rear end trucks!

You wouldn’t really gain anything, the power wagon front suspension is already lifted 2.25” over factory.

You set them close to the spokes and use a "static" balance.

No, they'll cause significant rub on the arm with a 37 because they are too tucked in. Check out our video about wheel specs for 37's and it should answer all your questions!

Yep that should fit just fine!

@@CJCOffRoad would I need wheel spacers? I've heard it will rub against my control arms with no wheel spacers.

TheFestusss there is a foam like material in behind the plastic. i removed it. the brine soaks in and stays. Ontario Canada must be using all the brine lol. horrible stuff.

Most of the plastics on the RAM are ABS or nylon or a mix. For ABS you can solvent weld the seams closed by just putting acetone on the plastic and letting the surfaces melt together. You can also do whats known as friction welding. Where you can take ABS or nylon, and spin it in a drill or dremel to melt it, and join two parts back together. of course there are also plastic welding kits. But often the plastics included in those kits are not very flexible and tend to just kind booger up, unless care is taken, and they are smoothed out well. The base of most plastic welding kits are often a iron in teh temp range of plastics, with a large tip for thermal stability. Or a modified glue gun that works at higher temps.

Give us a call M-F 9:00-5:00!

yes, an alignment is needed any time a truck is lifted as is changes the geometry of the front end.

@@CJCOffRoad Out of factory specs or factory? I know many shops wont do out of factory.

Yes, there is an improvement in ride. The wheels are 17"

2013 Ram 2500

We have plenty of customers that do not regear. If you look at our social media pages for trucks on 37s, 2 out of 10 probably get regeared.

From what I've read, running 37's and 4.10 gears puts you back at/near factory ratios. If you tow heavy (10K+) then it seems to be the recommendation to regear, if not or infrequently then the consensus is to not worry about it.

You’ll want +20 to +25 offset. Our CJC edition Method 315 wheels are going to be your wheel of choice for that! Check them out on our website.

And about 2019 2500 Stock?

There isn’t anything for it to damage. The wiring harnesses are all still protected, and everything else drains well.

@@CJCOffRoad Thank you

At least 1.5"

I use 2.5" spacers with stock rims to clear the knuckles and other goodies. Mine are just 33x12.50R20

This does not work for Hemi trucks, but we have this system that does! www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/2019-ram-2500-3500-thuren/products/thuren-fabrication-fox-2-0-ifp-leveling-system-2013-dodge-ram-3500-2014-2500

Typically around 45 for street driving but that depends on the load rating of the tire.

Have to be careful. The 6.7L and 6.4L hemi are massive weight differences. This coukd work, but it might be stiff AF in your operation wuere for me itll be smooth as an old cadillac

Correct, you want the wheel a little more towards the center of the truck. This allows the 37" tire to fit inside the fender when turning and not touch the body while turning.

CJC Off Road I see, thank you

We recommend 8.5-9” wide wheels with +18 to +25 offset and either a Thuren, Carli, or Synergy leveling system!

STOCK RIMS WONT WORK?@@CJCOffRoad

There is no “hack cutting” just some basic trimming of the plastic fender liner with a razor blade.

Yep! To fit 37s on a Ram truck we recommend a +12 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9.5.” A +12 wheel will yield a slight poke from the fender, while a +27 wheel is just about flush with the side of the truck. If you're curious what that looks like, give this article a read as it has a ton of examples and a video showing different setups. www.cjcoffroad.com/blogs/cjc-off-road-blog/1994-2024-ram-hd-wheel-and-tire-fitment-and-trimming-guide-for-fitting-35s-37s-and-38s

@@CJCOffRoad thanks for the quick response. I'm offshore and will be installing once I'm shoreside. I more question. So a 22 or 24 inch wheel that's no more that 9.5 wide and an offset between +12 and +27 should work too?

Yes sir, you can!

You can, but will have heavy trimming and rub with that on ANY level system.

Also is a negative offset

They won’t, you’ll have significant rub with that set up sadly.

Yep, here’s a link! www.cjcoffroad.com/Synergy-Ram-2500-3500-2013-2019-Leveling-System-p/8750-10.htm

You absolutely can as long as the wheels aren't crazy aggressive like a super single.

@@CJCOffRoad they are the 10 lug 22s Alcoa but it would be the dually front not a super single front

They will with the right wheels. To fit 37s on a Ram truck we recommend a +12 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9.5”

@@CJCOffRoad Thank you. Appreciate the help.

That is a matter of personal opinion. If you tow extremely heavy you may want to. About 2 out of 10 that we do on 37s get gears.

@@CJCOffRoad how about 5 inch lift and 37x 13.50 tires and I tow light once in blue , should I regear if so to what? I have stock 3.42

If you think about it, most bumpers are maybe 100 to 200 pounds at most over the factory bumper, which is basically the weight of having a grown man in the passenger seat. Essentially it makes very little difference on these HD diesel trucks!

+18 offset works well usually on the Ram platform.

@@CJCOffRoad ok thank you! I'm actually looking at getting a 2012 ram this upcoming summer

Can i use stock wheels with 37x13,5?

17"

These wheels are +18 but both 81 our 20 will work.

Yes! Email us! sales@cjcoffroad.com

The speedometer is off about 4-5 at roughly 70 MPH. Most guys don’t recalibrate but Hypertech and Edge products both have modules to adjust it

Yes, go aftermarket if you’re still under warranty take it to dodge tell them no one will align it. It was a bullshit fix

Yep, and any time you lift the front end, you need to re-center the steering wheel. It’s a very easy process though. We have a how to video on our channel walking you through the steps.

CJC Off Road if the steering wheel stayed straight should I be fine?

Yep! Just follow the provided instructions. You’ll also adjust the caster cams as part of the installation process.

Yep!

You can easily install it yourself! We also offer tech support to those trying to tackle it themselves. Anyone who asters the phone here, has installed these systems personally.

Most aftermarket wheels these days are lug centric. You can source hub centric rings, but sometimes running the rings with lug centric lug nuts can cause issues.There are thousands of customers running lug centric wheels that's towing without issue.

Nope!

@@CJCOffRoad ok was wondering because the website lists it as 2013+ for the leveling kit, wasn't sure if something had been changed or woud need to be on a 12

You’ll want the product listed for a 2012: www.cjcoffroad.com/3-Carli-Dodge-Suspension-Systems-s/2162.htm

Jeff Bennett got them on my truck (6.4 Hemi) and it’s dead level! Been on since truck was 2 months old (dec. “16) with Overland shocks and it’s great! BTW - I got my stuff from CJC; they’re awesome to work with!

@@bryanabsher2546 So you didn't need a 1 inch spacer in the rear? Also did you do the track bar?

Jeff Bennett no spacer for the back and I didn’t do the track bar due to the truck being brand new at the time. Truck currently has 27k miles and still drives great!

Perfect fit!

@@CJCOffRoad for a 19 powerwagon?

Yes, we include a new sensor rod if you let us know that you have an air ride truck.

@@CJCOffRoad I just ordered the springs from you and I do have the rear air suspension on my 2016 3500. Do I need this new sensor?

@@LarryRichelli I am having shipping send a separate package with the longer rods!

Yes

What about with just a 2.5 leveling kit

It does not, it goes lock to lock!

It's highly recommended. This is our favorite one: www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/2019-dodge-ram-2500-3500-suspension/products/carli-suspension-2019-ram-2500-3500-4x4-adjustable-track-bar

@@CJCOffRoad I ordered it! Had previously ordered the synergy one but sent that back! Super excited

If you are going to spend some money, why not improve the ride?

This set up is for 2013+ trucks only. For your 2006, you'd be looking at a different kit from either Carli Suspension, Thuren Fabrication, or Synergy.

37/12.5/17

Least till you get a 200lb bumper and it squats the front again

Fitting a 37 and still maintaining the ability to turn...

We’ve got lots of customers with over 100k miles on factory gears with 37s.

@Dan 1'' extra clearance isn't going to be a game changer. You sacrifice a lot of torque and acceleration and gain little to noting on the frame clearance height. I.e. 1''.

@Dan For "better ride" get IFS mom cadillac. I don't get this obsession with "softer ride". I want my truck to ride as stiff and as solid as possible so I have no sway and can take a cargo load well.

Stock tires are 33’s so going to 37’s is an extra 2 inches of clearance
