- I purchased 335/65-18 TRX take offs and went through what was required to make them fit properly.

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.
What PSI are you running in your tires? Im running trx takeoffs as well on my rebel, currently running 39 up front 37 in the rear cold.
@@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
@@sagishitrit144 i still have not done that, but I have heard most dealerships will refuse to change it for you
@@grantshuff2458 Unfortunately, that's what I saw online as well. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
Where did you get your 1/4 in spacers? And have you had any issues at full turn now that you’ve had a chance to drive on them for a few months?
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!
Thanks! I’ll have to make a part two.
Just came back to this video looking for the follow up vid.
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
The setup looks great on your truck! Thanks for the demo on how to.
By far one of the best instructional videos I have seen. I was wondering if your alignment needed to be done after?
Thank you! Yes I aligned it afterwards.
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.
You need to replace the upper control arm with a 2" spacer. The angle on the ball joint can cause it to fail
I am hoping to someday buy a rebel! Your rebel looks sweet, I am also from V-town!
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 don't notice any difference in road noise.
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?
Thanks! They would probably be too long for stock lug nuts without spacers.

Hey sir awesome video, I found your links below. What level kit did you use?
Motofab DR-2, 2”
That looks awesome! Where can I buy 1/2 in spacer kits like your?
Links to all parts are in the video description.
great video，what kind of bolts have you put on？ what size？❤thanks
Thanks! Links are included in the video description to all the parts I used.
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.
We've done hundreds of them without failure.
Nice info!! Where did you get this take off tires from? And how you figured out that will fit your truck?
Offerup and I did some research to see what it would take to fit them with a little trial and error.
thanks for the video how much space do you have left at the brake cleat? so between the claw and the rim
Do have any idea how it affected your speedometer? Great video by the way.
Thanks! 4 mph off now.
How about the noise from the front tires? Thank you it's cool
Thanks! I don’t notice any difference in road noise.
Just wanted to confirm the extended studs are showing for Ford models? Does that sound correct and do they work with original lug nuts?
How’d the concentric spacers do? Ever try em later?
Good work you know what your doing there.I dont know why you didnt go for 1-1/12 inch spacers with included studs for more poke, gotta love that poke.
Wanted to keep the truck functional for off-roading and not screw up the suspension's geometry.
I have a 21 rebel but I have no idea what rims I should get. I want something that sticks out a little bit from the wheel wells
How does the ride feels? City and Highway!
Appreciate the reply!
Thanks
It feels better all around. More plush and quieter surprisingly.
@@dustydesertadventures490 thanks for the feedback
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.
There is a fix but you have to go to the dealer and use their computer. I haven’t done it but I’ve seen a guy on TH-cam who did it.
@@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 TH-cam that shows how he went to a dealership and got the computers lower set point changed.
@@dustydesertadventures490 I’m running 40 as well. I’ll take a look. My dealership said they won’t touch the computer 🤷♂️
40 psi that’s what I ran on my 2019 Rebel
Do stock lug nuts work with the longer wheel studs? Did you consider using Dorman 610-509 with a 73mm length?
Can u list the spacers,bolts,lug nuts and were u got them please
Links are included in the video description to all the parts I used.
Would u know if this setup can be done on a 2021 ram bighorn?
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
Links to all parts are in the video description.
@@dustydesertadventures490 tY sIR FOR THE REPLY U HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP
Do these long studs that were put in could fit a 2020 big horn
I have a 2023 bighorn and I want to do this to my truck do you think it’ll work?
Of course you did everything I was just saying lmao that’s great!
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?
I doubt it. You will probably rub on the rear of the front fender.
@@dustydesertadventures490 if you don't mind me asking, what cold tire PSI are you running in the front and back?
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
It all depends on the backspacing of each wheel.
Hows the Driveability? Got some takeoffs as well and some levelling kits want to compress the spring which im not a fan of.
I don’t notice any difference in drivability.
@@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
@@TunerSteve that will be close.
any rubbing while driving , turning or any type of off-roading ? thanks for the video.
Nope, no rubbing.
The leveling kit you just installed in the front correct?
Correct.
Hi, do you have part numbers for the lug nuts and level kit you used for this upgrade? I saw the spacers and studs reply below.

@@dustydesertadventures490 thank you. Much appreciate it.
I like the TRX Wheels, but you think I would need to do all that if I just do 33s instead of 35s? I have 2021 BTS.
33 should fit no problem.
@@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.
Is it possible to make the wheels fit to a stock Ram 1500 and get tires that don't need any modification to the suspension and without spacer? TIA
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.
excellent work 👍👍👍
Thank you!
What would you think about 1/4 instead 1/2 inch spacers?
Would you think they’ll work?
No, I think it would be too tight.
I have a 18 Rebel that I want to do this to, but I have the air ride. What needs be done on this?
I was wondering about the black strip’s on the doors,where’d you get them? Thanks
Hey - those are factory.
@@dustydesertadventures490 oh ok thanks
Take it to a brake and shock shop, it's 2 hrs. labor to install the leveling kit. Don't use spacers, they shouldn't rub.
Would these extened studs u got would fita 2020 big horn
Hello how much did you spend in total?
TRX wheels have a positive offset, do they not?
Same as the rebel +19
Where did you get your spacer and studs from?
Links to all parts are in the video description.
Looks clean
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Side Windows Net for your Canam X3 Max (if your car is 2017-2023)
Did you get hub centric spacers yet?
No, the spacers I got are working fine.
Thanks!!
Are the spacers just off Amazon or ebay?

Do you have air suspension? Would there be any difference?
I do not have air suspension. Not sure about any differences.
Would know if the offset of those wheel are the same as the ome TRX wheels
They are TRX wheels.
Great video
Thanks!
Any idea if you would have to do the lift if you had the factory air suspension?
Look up level-links
How is it after a year ?
amazing job
Thanks!
You think they’ll fit 2019 Laramie ?
Yes if you do the same thing, leveling kit and spacers.
Does the truck still fit in the garage?
Yes!
What is the height clearance with leveling kit and those tires? Under 6’5”?
Where did you get the extended wheel studs?

@@dustydesertadventures490 Thanks for the links. Did you ever swap out the spacers for hubcentric ones?
@@lakerbota7925 no, it’s working fine with the non-hubcentric.
Where did you get the new lug nuts?
@@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.
Do you have to do the same on the rear?
No. The leveling kit is only on the front.
@@dustydesertadventures490 and what about the spacers on the rear wheels?
@@frankysantana1032 yes spacers on the rear wheels but no leveling kit.
Any harsh vibration with the wheel spacers?
No, not at all.
Balljoint delete kit
So the answer is NO they font fit. 😅 You have to do a ton of modifications to make them fit. Do I have that right?😅
Will the trx tires fit on a rebel rim?
Yes, video shows how.
Why did you put a spacer ?
To clear the upper control arms on the front.
How did the mpg change?
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.
1/4" spacers is all you need, and only on the front.
Is that what you have on your setup?
@@dustydesertadventures490 Yep. I bought two pairs of 1/4" spacers, but only used them in the front.
@J. Delaney do you have pics of your truck posted anywhere? I'd love to see how your 1/4 spacers look with these wheel!
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 .
@@topitout2954 100% of rebels used to come with air standard in the US. Now it’s an option. Air doesn’t have anything to do with having to run spacers
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
