I purchased 335/65-18 TRX take offs and went through what was required to make them fit properly. Extended Studs: amzn.to/3vYXhgG Spacers: amzn.to/3FJlECl Extended Lug Nuts: www.amazon.com... Leveling Kit: www.amazon.com...
Hello everyone! Wanted to share with you a similar install that I did on my 2022 Ram Rebel. Like Dusty Desert Adventures, I installed a 2" front leveling kit and then installed 325/65R18" take offs from TRX. However, I didn't want to replace the original studs so I installed a 1/4" (6.35mm) wheel spacer (instead 1/2" that Dusty Desert Adventures installed) and everything works fine. I got 10 full turns of the lug nuts and I have enough clearance between the tire and the upper control arm. Overall I got 41" from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well, which gave me ~3" total lift at the front and ~1" at the rear end.
@@grantshuff2458 I’m running 38psi on all 4, but I think I’ll try 35-36psi. Did you change the default tire pressure setting on your truck? Because on the Rebel the duratracs need 55psi and I have the tire pressure light on all the time. From what I saw we need the change it through the truck’s computer or go to the dealership
Excellent tutorial! Would love to see a follow up video after a few weeks of driving it, and footage showing how much clearance you have at full steering lock, as well as on and off road!
I have 3 rams to include the trx and ive been exchanging parts with one another they fit and i used a 1/4 inch spacer for the wheels and used the factory studs and never had any issues and no cutting but great video
Excellent video. The only issue i see is using the spacer. By doing this, you eliminate the hub centering the wheel. The studs are centering the wheel now, so there's the possibility of a vibration.
I’ve heard the CV Axle doesn’t like the spacers because of the angle. I’d just advice not disrespectfully by any means, just watch those. For me IF I decide to put 35’s on my Rebel I’ll go to Fabtech or the 5100 6112 Bilsteins to add 2” or more to the truck. As expensive as Fabtech is the benefit is you can have them rebuilt for the lifetime of the truck. Inconvenience is you have to ship them to Fabtech so kinda without them until they send them back. Doing this option would definitely cut out the need for any spacer as well. But studs may need to be replaced as well. Will still have to do a little cutting on the plastics so just cut some of that and it’ll be good.
Awesome video thanks man. Very strongly considering this. Do you have any pics or updated video you could show of more angles of how it looks? Trying to figure out if it’s for sure the look I want before doing the same thing.
Great video. Really helps thanks. Are the territory tires quieter than the duratracs? I just installed the leveling kit yesterday on my Rebel and I’m looking to get the same tires as yours. Thanks
I’m about to do this to my 2019 Rebel. I did the leveling kit with the new tubular control arms to replace the factory plastic ones. . I’m wondering if I need the spacers? Have 1/4” spacers coming just in case. By the way, your truck looks great.
Nicely done! Do the extended studs still work with the factory wheels without the spacers? Can you share where and what you bought for the wheel studs, spacers, and lug nuts?
Would adding extended studs with the same spacer allow to fit 17 inch wheels with 35s?? I’m finding so many better looking wheels in 17s compared to 18s
Don't love the block 2" lift with all that extra weight added. And then 1/2 inch wheel spacers. No bueno. Should have spent the extra cash for a shock/suspension lift. But the look is great.
Great video. I did a copy and paste except didn’t need the front leveling kit. I have bilstien 5100’s and with the same trimming everything fit great! Have you been able to figure out how to change the trucks TPMS settings for the new tires? My rebel still wants 55 psi on the fronts which is too high for the TRX wheel tire combo.
@@dustydesertadventures490 What tire pressure are you running? BTW the dealership here in Austin, TX is saying they cannot adjust the tire pressure settings
I’m running 40psi which is higher than I like but it keeps the computer happy. There is someone on RU-vid that shows how he went to a dealership and got the computers lower set point changed.
Hey! I have the same make and model ram with coils. Just picked up some trx take offs. I also hava bora 1.5 wheel spacers. Do you think i could get by with just the wheel spacers without the level/lift?
@@dustydesertadventures490 awesome...im tempted to go 3/4" spacers to have studs already to go...just hoping its a big enough soacer the old studs dont bottom out in the back of the wheel
hEY DUSTY gREAT VIDEO JUST ASKING WHERE DID U FIND THE lug STUDS THAT ARE 78 MM LONG ...i WENT TO THE AUTO STORE GUY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT IS THERE A CHANCE U CAN HELP A rAM bROTHER OUT ON WHERE i CAN FIND THEM tY

@@dustydesertadventures490 I don’t think a 33 would fit without a problem as you stated. The wheel rubs on the control arm not because of the height, but because of the width of the tire. So a 35x12.5 will have the same width as a 33x12.5 and this the same issue exists for both.
This is going to sound strange but I feel it actually improved. I think it had more to do with the alignment though. I am getting 23 mpg on the highway with the new tires which I never came close to before.
@@lakerbota7925 I wouldn’t recommend the ones I bought. Make sure you get ones with the same size acorn as stock to cover the silver area where the lug nut seats.
Why do they rub? People Put 35x12.50x20 or 22 on ram 1500s on stock wheels all the time and don’t use spacers.. the stock TrX wheels must have a really positive offset or whatever so they stick in the vehicle more. My 22 ram limited has 35x12.50x22 nitto ridge grapplers and I have like 1-1.5” Of clearance on the spot your hitting with my stock 22’s. With all the extra stuff you had to buy and all the work you had to do you should of just bought 35” Tires and put them on your stock wheels and wouldn’t Of had to do any work lol..
Maybe because your limited comes with air supension but yea I agree they should fit with no leveling kit or anything. Rebels come with off-road package which has a 2inch lift from factory .
35’s don’t fit a stock wheel on the Ram Rebel. The stock wheel is only 8” wide and a 35” tire requires a minimum of 8.5” wheel width. Anyone that does install it on the smaller wheel is not doing their due diligence
