The High Mileage Ram just hit 125k miles! Video coming soon!!

[@djskip121]

Dude that was unsafe, no Jack stands, and you had your legs stretched out under the truck, you have a lot of faith in that jack!!

[@Centra28]

I’m not normally one for spacers, but I like what you did here. Looks good!

[@Hayden_gearheart]

Looks great with those spacers on I never thought on putting them on my truck because my truck looks straight with out wheel spacers I’m also running 33 in bf Goodrich all terrain tires I do recommend those tires

[@vincentriker5147]

I had a tough time when I was looking for the aggressive look also, so many different answers and combos. I finally found someone who knew what they were doing. I'm running 305 50 20 on my 19 big horn black edition. No spacers, no lift, no rub. Looks awesome with no adjustment. Also threw on the borla ATAK for the aggressive sound.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Good to hear. How are you liking the exhaust? Did you keep the stock manifolds?

[@MoparHollics]

Highly recommend use hub centric spaceser's that keeps your wheels nice and centered and avoid vibration specially when using your truck for pulling trailer's often.

[@Jeffrey_Hemi]

Looks amazing specially when you want that aggressive look👍🔥

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thank you Jeff!

[@michaelcrawford9425]

I appreciate this video. I have been questioning 1/4" for my Ram.

[@cliffyj5071]

I just put 1 and a 1/2 inch spacers on my 2018 rebel and it brings the tire tread perfectly even with the factory fender flare !

[@TruckCentral]

Bet your setup looks perfect now. Those factory flares on the Rebel are begging for it!

[@ofacefan]

cooper at3 XLT, had them on my 4 runner and got 60k+mi out of them in mixed conditions, they were great in the wet and snow, before I got my ram, going to put a set on my ram as soon as i need tires or if current tire suck in snow... (edited watched further..)

[@jackwendel916]

It would be awesome to see some pics if you guys can that would be great!

[@jimharrison3552]

Good idea to wear eye protection when using wire wheel, the wire has been known to fly off.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Oh yes! I’ve learned the hard way. Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@russhills2773]

Very dangerous without jack stands. Friend was killed by doing that. If it is important to clean the hub I would think it would be important clean the inside of the wheel also.

[@markweber5278]

Really like my Falcon Wildpeak A/T3 tires.

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

I've got the Continental Contact Terrain and are absolutely 💯 👌..

[@MrJustinWheeler]

How are they working up there in the snowy north?

[@AJB-74]

So Justin … what tires did you end up doing with? Love to see what you’re running now - both tire and size … 👍

[@tyauston]

Thank you for using the jack stand on the rear... I'm sure you heard Grandpa's voice

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yes sir. I’ve seen what happens when you dont!

[@coqueto45]

Wish you would have added some side by side photos to the end with a before and after...

[@getnbigger29]

So your wheels swing in an arch so adding additional offset will make them contact different areas. The cheapest upgrade to get additional clearance would be a day of daystar spacers and leveling links. This would get you a 2in lift up front bringing the truck level. It retains all do the air suspension range of motion and just gives you a level ride height. You can go with just links and trick the system to riding in off road 1 height (or higher) but the ride will suffer if you go more than 3/4 of an inch. The links can be had for $55 for the front. The 3/4 of an inch will easily clear a 33 and ride about the same You're looking at about $300 for the products and install cost. With this you can run a 35in tire with stock offset. Not sure what you're running now for tires (it think it was a 305 45r22, but you could also run a 285/55r22 which is a 34.3in tires, a lil over an inch taller than what you have. The optimal setup for what you're doing would be the bds 4in. Full range of ride heights - entry exit will equal what your stock is now. Normal your 0r2 etc.

[@MCOB2019]

I just bought a 2019 ram limited that came with those same tires only they were smaller at 285/50/R22 I noticed my MPG is horrible I’m at about 11 MPG even if I don’t gas it. I find myself pumping quite often, do you know if the stock tires it had were better? Is it even worth going back to those though because I love how it looks with these!

[@gunnersecuador7515]

Spacers may look nice and all, but you have to remember, when you are off road and are throwing mud and rock the tires will now throw it all up the sides off the truck and cause wear and even damage to the painted surfaces.

[@rickylee2477]

Exactly. These folks who think it “ looks cool” do not realize how “ uncool “ the truck is gonna looks with dirt dust and mud on the body constantly. You can go to the car wash and make it back home with out getting your truck dirty again with the wheels hanging out that far. I ride 35s on my ram 1500 and ended with being forced to buy mid flaps all the way around to keep mud and dirt off my new truck. I’m not overly crazy about the mud flaps but they do the job they was intended for. I’d never put spacers.

[@Flight_Mike]

I put 285/75x18" on my 2019 Ram 1500 with no spacers. They're 34.84" tall and 11.5" wide. No clearance issues what so ever with full rebound of shocks. Discussed with the manager at Discount tire for 15 minutes. He finally agreed to put them on after thorough inspection. Afterwards he walked away scratching his head because the company web said they wouldn't fit. LOL

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Lol good job sticking to your guns! That’s a big tire!

[@jackwendel916]

@@MrJustinWheeler got any pics?

[@Lefishn]

It's because at full squat and full turn they rub. For the other 90% of travel they don't rub

[@Flight_Mike]

@@jackwendel916 Yes, I can’t post them for some reason.

[@Flight_Mike]

@@Lefishn No rubbing whatsoever. Even when pulling a heavy trailer!

[@stubblejumper3125]

Using anti-sieze on the hub and spacer will make them easy to come off in the future.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Agreed. That’s a good call. Thanks for the tip!

[@1antisupercat]

Could you do an update when you get some miles on them. I’m hesitant to get them so I’d be curious if there was any negative consistencies of them.

[@TruckCentral]

Yes, we’re going to do an update on all of the mods soon. This video was actually filmed earlier in the year… they’ve racked up some miles already

[@rickylee2477]

2-1/2 inch level lift Fox shocks and 295/65 Toyo AT3. Truck sits higher. More aggressive stance , and looks meaner. No spacers needed.

[@RobCabreraCh]

Heh Justin, how do these spacers helped with the bigger tires? I know you are using 305 from a previous video. I like how the 305s look, but from your video, the rubbing wasn't great IMO. I personally wouldn't want to have that rubbing on my Ram.

[@brianroschi1450]

I’m thinking of getting Goodrich Ko2’s on mine. Would love to see them on yours first.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I actually JUST got new tires. I think we will get a vid put up of those soon.

[@brianroschi1450]

@@MrJustinWheeler nice! Vids are great! Keep em coming.

[@mattjaxdad8693]

I'd also like to know long term if you start getting nicks or paint chips on the sides of the truck. The stance looks good but I'm not willing to get chips from slung rocks. Maybe after 10 years / 200,000 miles.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

We will do some follow-up videos soon. I've actually had these spacers installed for a while now, and so far they are holding up well. I'm thinking about going a little bit wider to see what I can get away with. Thanks for watching!

[@rickylee2477]

It will happen 100 % no doubt with out mid flaps that stick out just as far as the tire does. (Ask me how I know).

[@anderander5662]

275 50 22's will fit ...... I put those on mine with no problems

[@bull5919]

are those spacers hub centeric?

[@jorangel87]

any mpg difference with these nittos?

[@christophersmith328]

I have BFG k02s on my limited

[@williamlipsett5972]

Cooper AT3 ride great

[@robfreeman5783]

How much more spray/mud from wet roads on the sides of the truck behind wheel wells?

[@bartnukem]

all of it now

[@JS-fh4xm]

I’d like to buy these after watching your video. The link provides me with lots of spacers to choose from. Which ones exactly?

[@TruckCentral]

They are the “West Coast Wheel Spacer” 0.25 inch. The product photo will change when you select the year make model of your truck. Hope this helps

[@ammogiant824]

Wait actually hub centric is very important. You will get vibration on hard breaking. Not to safe.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

So far, so good. But I do like the hubcentric units.

[@timyoder2003]

Don't mess up your outfit from bootbarn 🤣

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Only the hat is from Bootbarn. But it’s my favorite hat! 💁🏻‍♂️

[@trevor3102002]

Won't that just cause more paint chipping because the tires are push out passed the wheelwells

[@Accurize2]

Yes

[@barrybebenek8691]

Dude please never leave your legs extended under the truck when you’ve only hat a jack to hold it up. One bad slip and your leg is gone before you know it. Looks good. Cheers eh. 🇨🇦

[@user-bl4ez3sh5g]

You need to use jack stands! Jack hydraulics fail all the time. You could lose a hand ✋ or leg 🦵. 4:18 no stand and legs under neath rotor. Very scary. Then at 8:58 the Jack stand shows up, why? Wife probably yelled at you. Great video and nice looking truck!

[@TruckCentral]

Watch the rest of the video…

[@user-bl4ez3sh5g]

@@TruckCentral Well done. You are right. Couldn’t watch the rest of it with out commenting. Your truck looks really good 👍

[@TruckCentral]

Glad you’re enjoying it, plenty of High Mileage Ram videos coming up!

[@RichardRecupero]

I'm done with messing with what engineers have perfected. They did this for a reason. A few reasons

[@Bill14886]

How many miles did you get on the Tires

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Over 80k. Good tires indeed!

[@clarkhess]

Remove your lower air dam under the front bumper for a really easy improvement of look! I just did mine last week and it only took 15 minutes. That in combination with my AirLinks leveling kit, my truck has a much better look

[@russhills2773]

The air damage improves gas mileage unfortunately many people don't understand how co2 is destroying the atmosphere. Oh well we can always move to another planet just not Venus because it is full of co2 and 900 degree Celsius.

[@djohnson843]

Did you get any vibration or balance issues on the highway? Do you feel any difference?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

No vibration or balance issues at all. Very smooth! Thanks for watching!

[@donearl6675]

🤩😍👍

[@richards7526]

The farther out you go the more dab-re will fly up hitting the truck and your arms hanging out the windows.encase you haven't had that happen in other trucks. al-tho it's always great to personalize your RIDE.

[@TruckCentral]

Definitely true. Mudflaps go a long way if it’s a big problem

[@jmrroe9544]

Torque is 130 ft lbs

[@richardalexander1838]

Looks good but not hub centric. I guarantee your vibrating at speed.

[@TruckCentral]

Not hub centric, but not vibrating at speed. At least, not discernibly. Even valve stems throw a wheel slightly off balance. Not to mention the haphazard wheel weights thrown on over time.

[@ryancoates872]

Toyo at3!!!
