First off I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Express Quad Cab Mineral Gray 2wd. I am looking into getting the CST 7" lift. My question is how can the 4x4 Rams run 37s with only a 6" lift but the 2wd can only run 35s with this 7" lift?

Seems that the 4x4 lift kits consist of the subframe drop kit while the CST 7 inch lift for 4x2 is bigger spindles and spacers and replacement spring depending which route you go.

I personally didnt have a need for 4x4 which is why I got the 2wd and saved myself 3 grand.. I do have LSD so if i wanted to go offroad it would do pretty good. Looking at 20x12 Moto Metal 962 -44 offset on 35x12.5 R20 Toyo MT tires. Anyone know if these will rub being that wide?

Yes I planned on getting the CST Lift. Also was thinking about regearing to 4.56. Been reading alot about it. Any info on if our trucks can even get 4.56 to fit? I only see 4.10 own gears. Any additional info will be helpful. Will the regearing help with gas mileage?
