    Lift + Fifth Wheel

    I have a 2016 Ram 3500 single wheel diesel and I pull a Raptor fifth wheel. I want to put a Zone 4.5 in lift kit on my truck with 35x12.50R20s. I have aftermarket air bags on the rear also. My question is will I have
    enough space between my bed rails and the fifth wheel.

    What are your thoughts?

    Lifts and fifth wheels don't go together very well. It will put a lot of extra stress on the rear axle and tires. It's always best to keep them level as possible. However on some trailers you can flip the axle to the top side of the suspension mounts to give it a lift.

    Also you can fit 35's with just a leveling kit.

    Would 295/65/20 be a better size to run in tires with my 2.5 in leveling kit then 35/12.50/20?

    what do you mean by better? Both are 35" tall tires but the 295s are a full inch narrower so that will give you a bit more clearance inside the fenders, especially if you are running them on factory rims.

    I'm looking to run 20x10-19 wheels. Just not sure if I can run a 35" tire with only a leveling kit so my real question is what size tire do I need to run with those wheels so I don't have to any modifications to my fender well?

    I’m running 35x12.50 on a 10” wide wheel with -24 offset on a 2.5” leveling kit. Plenty of room in rear and just a touch of plastic trimming on the front inner fender liners.
