    I might go back down to 35s on my Ram 3500. Thoughts?

    I am assuming you are running the stock 3.42 gears, if that is the case I can see going with a 305/70/18. I had really good luck with the Cooper StMaxx on my prior truck with the 295/70/18 StMaxx tires and got over 50k out of them with some really hard use. My current truck came with 4.10's...

    No reason to get a 3/4 ton when you can get a 1 ton.

    Most capable, dependable, affordable truck camper truck?

    If you are looking at fords you can pick up a newer gas truck, even cheaper if it's a regular cab. Personally I can't stand crew cab trucks, even more so south of the border. They make driving around especially small market towns a pain in the ass. Unless you have a large family etc. get the...

    2015 RAM 3500 DRW to SRW conversion - what backspace is needed?

    I think it is more around a few inches difference if you are talking the standard Ram dually. It's closer on the cab and chassis with the front hub spacer removed. The rear axle lengths are different from the cab and chassis as compared to the regular dually pickup

    2019 Ram 3500 build thread

    I hear you on the fake beadlock look. I ended up going with fake beadlocks though, mainly because there were not really any other options out there for my needs. I thought about AEV's but the only tire option that would work for me was 37x13.5 Toyo MT and I didn't want to deal with the weight of...

    Tire time

    You now have the strongest tires available. You can never go wrong with the Toyo MT 37x13.5, there is no comparison. I wish there were more 131 load index tires available.

    There is also the option of a compromise 18" wheel with 37" tires. For example, 37" ridge grappler (hybrid on/off road) E rated 3,968 lbs at 65 PSI with Method HD wheels rated at 4,500 lbs in +18 offset.

    Tire time

    Post pictures when you get the tires. I am thinking about the MT's same size as you, need the capacity because I just bought a 3500 cab chassis

    2017 RAM 2500c Build. Tradesman---->AEV'ish

    Do you get any sway bar or radius arm rub with the 13.5 wide Toyos and AEV rims? I am picking up a 3500 this week and going with AEV wheels but unsure about tires, I know AEV said they don't recommend a 13.5 wide tire, but it appears to be impossible to find tires that can match the load rating...

    Looking for feedback on flatbed trays.

    Looks good. Is the headache rack removable?

    The old gal is being put out to pasture.

    Have you looked at Cirrus? In my opinion they appear one of the better made campers. No TPO or rubber roof. European elements, etc.

    What was the cost of the Elocker and was it difficult to have installed?

    Another super single wheel thread. Anyone know about these 20" military wheels.

    Personally I would just go for the 1st attack and be done, unless money is an issue. They are I believe reasonably priced at around 400 a wheel.

    Truma? / what is a hard side camper like to drive? (cross winds, handling on highways)

    If it makes you feel better I drove through a micro burst like mini tornado in eastern Colorado with my hardside. A few tractor trailers got turned over and one RV trailer flipped.
