Default 2" level and 37s??

so i got to wondering guys.....woud 37s fit with a 2" level up front? if so im gonna go with 37s and really fill the wheel well out. I could always add another inch up front anyway, as it still sits lower than the rear. 37s would look so BA if i could make em work with little to no modification

barely depends on offset i had a set odd cooper stt 37/12.5/17 on my 94 dodge a few years ago and it was tight and rubbed when i turned and i had a fairly decent offset i couldnt tell ya what it was id talk to a tire shop and ask them it can be done no doubt but its got to be the right combination

Dodge Ram Specifications

1994-2002 2500 2WD/4WD Steel Wheels:

Lug Pattern - 8 on 6.5", 9/16" bolt
Rim Size - 16x6.5"
Offset - 4.75"

There is your factory rim size. Not too sure what you will need to fit that big boot, but a tire shop will for sure.

I'm almost positive the biggest tire you can run with just a leveling kit is 35" and it will probably rub some at full lock.
