Default suspension and body lift HELP

Howdy y'all I got a 99 5.2 v8 magnum all stock except for my KnN cai my next project is going to be a two step process 1st. Suspension lift I have googled and looked on ebay for hours and haven't found any solid name brand suspension lifts with good warrentys, there's plenty for the ram like skyjackers and rough county lift kits but no durango?! Am i looking in the wrong spots?? But I need a 5inch suspension and if I still don't like the way it looks after that with the suspension lift and bigger beefer tires then maybe a 2.5 or 3 inch body lift. Please anything will help just point me in the right direction and any advice will help thanks everyone.

Most people are not happy with their 5.5 lift and the drivetrain won't like 35 or bigger tires most do the T/S lift and a 3 inch body lift total of 5 inch lift and run 33s

Ok thank you, do you think adding a 2inch leaf spring and then 2inch in the front would hurt much? I think 33s would b fine I'm just tired of gettting stuck lol, Igot stuck in creek silk last night for 6hrs and so did three others trying to pull me out

You want shackles and to crank the torsion bars. Search that and many questions will be answered and some you haven't thought of yet. T/S lift.

You don't need the keys, they are paper weights because the factory ones will do fine.
