and on monst makes, the IFS isn't a problem- they make drop brackets for the lower arms and steering rack, and design a custom upper arm that has the drop built into it. But I think (I don't have a 4wd so i dont know for sure) the problem with dodge is how the front differential and driveshaft are attached to the crossmember.

 

Could I do an add a leaf and body lift

 

that won't answer what you'll do with the front...

 

Could I use 3 inch lift coils

 

4wd doesn't have coil springs, only torsion bars. The more you crank out of them, the quicker your CV joints and tires will wear out.

 

Would add a leaf for the back , and body lift , and
One of these work

no, because a shock is not a spring. It only dampens movements, it does not support the truck. From what I've learned on the forum here, at best you can get 1.5" out of the torsion bars before the suspension becomes solid, and another 1/2" before you overextend the CV's. 1" is all you will comfortably get out of them. You cannot go past that unless you find a way to lower the rack, make a steering column extender, lower the differential, extend the front driveshaft, make a drop bracket for the lower control arm, and figure something out with the upper control arm.

 

So how do I lift the front without cranked t bars

And a body lift?

 

You cant lift the front without a torsion bar crank. Dont let these guys scare you. I ran my 98 with the torsion bars cranked for 2 years and lots of guys here do the same and dont see any more problems than if it was stock. Torsion bar crank is free can get you 1 1/2 in-2in. You can also do a body lift for pretty cheap also.
