Nick, If you level out the front with the upgrade coil's you can fit 255/85's and that would look tough ![Big Grin](https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
255/85 is what we run on the other truck on the back, and run 235/85's on the front. the 255's look awesome.

I'm not sure if i want it jacked up like my last truck, it was nice but a rough ride. Then again i hate scraping the ground, it gives me the worst chills ever. So I'm undecided. I need to find the pictures... i put 250HD springs in the front of the d100 :-D and huge 85% tires with PLENTY of room... ill see if i can't find them, i miss that truck.

by the way i have pictures of what that truck looked like when we first got it if you even want to see them let me know...lol
About the coils- "dodgethis91cmns" runs some upgraded MOOG coils on the front of his truck and it leveled it out. you can search him on the members list and message him if you'd like. he'll have all the info
Daystar also makes spacers to get the front end up...part #'s In the sticky https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...1.html?t=93841

what did u do to your trans? I've been thinking the same thing.
I've been reading about them and other than dropping 6 grand into them i haven't seen much. Oh well there's swapping in this trans or that trans with 5-10K into them as well...

I blew a TF-727A in my Ramcharger a week after i put on some big tires (33s), maybe made the truck too heavy, considering stock were like 28" tall. That was also under the 318 gasser not even making half the torque i have now on the cummins.
I'll just keep looking till i find something i guess.

Mine was just freshened basically and what was broke fixed and the drum was machined for another clutch/ steel. I hurt the band and servo for 3rd gear.
Other then that my trans looked like new.
Eventually I'll put a 47rh in my truck with all the goodies.
