Swipe for more photos → (5 total)
A heavy-duty truck deserves upgrades that look purposeful and work together as a complete package. This 2025 RAM Heavy Duty combines KING remote-reservoir shocks, Method Race Wheels and Nitto Ridge Grappler tires for a confident stance that suits the truck without taking away from its factory character.
Completed at Empire Motorsports & LINE-X in Rancho Cucamonga, this build shows how the right suspension, wheel and tire choices can transform a RAM while keeping real-world use at the center of the plan.
KING Remote-Reservoir Shocks
The most distinctive performance upgrade on this RAM is its KING remote-reservoir shock package. KING Off-Road Racing Shocks are recognized throughout the truck and off-road community for their premium construction, serviceable design and performance-focused damping.
A remote reservoir adds fluid and gas capacity outside the main shock body, helping the shock manage heat during demanding use. On this build, the silver shock bodies, blue hardware and external reservoirs add a functional performance detail that is easy to spot behind the wheels.
The front suspension retains a separate coil spring, so these are shocks rather than coilovers. Exact shock sizing, valving and part numbers should always be matched to the vehicle, ride height, weight and intended use.
Method Race Wheels
Black Method Race Wheels give the gray RAM a clean, purposeful look. The design complements the truck’s dark trim while letting the KING suspension hardware provide a subtle contrast behind the wheel.
Choosing wheels for a RAM Heavy Duty involves more than selecting a finish. Diameter, width, offset, backspacing, bolt pattern and load rating all affect fitment. Empire Motorsports evaluates those measurements as part of the complete build so the wheels work with the suspension and tire package.
Nitto Ridge Grappler Tires
Nitto Ridge Grappler tires complete the stance with an aggressive hybrid-terrain tread pattern. Ridge Grapplers are a popular choice for owners who want rugged styling and off-road capability while still planning to spend substantial time on paved roads.
The correct tire choice depends on more than appearance. Overall diameter, width, load rating, road-noise expectations, towing needs and available clearance all need to be considered. Matching the Nitto tires with the Method wheels and upgraded suspension creates a more cohesive finished truck.
Why Complete Truck Fitment Matters
Suspension height, wheel position and tire dimensions directly affect one another. An incorrect combination can create rubbing, limited steering clearance or undesirable driving characteristics. Planning the components together helps avoid those problems and produces a truck that looks intentional from every angle.
Our team checks component compatibility, wheel and tire clearances, load requirements and alignment needs before recommending a package. Final fitment always depends on the specific RAM configuration and how the owner plans to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upgrades were installed on this 2025 RAM Heavy Duty?
This custom RAM Heavy Duty build features KING remote-reservoir shocks, Method Race Wheels and Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. Empire Motorsports coordinated the suspension, wheel and tire package to give the truck a taller, more aggressive stance while maintaining practical everyday drivability.
Why choose KING remote-reservoir shocks for a RAM Heavy Duty?
KING Off-Road Racing Shocks are known for premium construction, performance-focused damping and heat management. A remote reservoir increases the shock’s fluid and gas capacity, helping it manage demanding driving conditions. The correct KING shock configuration should always be selected for the truck’s suspension setup, weight and intended use.
Are Nitto Ridge Grappler tires good for daily driving and off-road use?
Nitto Ridge Grappler tires combine aggressive hybrid-terrain styling with features intended for both paved roads and off-road conditions. They are popular with lifted-truck owners who want a rugged tread design without choosing a dedicated mud-terrain tire. Tire size and load rating must be matched correctly to the RAM Heavy Duty.
Why use Method Race Wheels on a lifted RAM truck?
Method Race Wheels are popular for truck and off-road builds because of their distinctive designs and application-specific fitment options. Wheel diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern and load rating all matter on a RAM Heavy Duty, so Empire Motorsports evaluates the complete suspension and tire package before recommending a wheel.
