Im thinking going up to a 5" lift , i already have a 3" lift with rear AAL but right now i need some #s stock front bumper height from ground. then i need a ground to top of well wheel front and back and your rear block under the spring ..so ill start with mine
sitting on 265/75r/16
rear block 3" <---factory block
ground to bottom of bumper 22" <----front
ground to wheel well front 40 1/2"
ground to wheel well back 42 1/2"
this is with a 3" lift stock #s lifted #s all be fine.. and silver i like to see what you #s are sense we have the same lift.....Now with the 2" difference from front and back can i get away with a 2" spacer that would make it a 5" lift then do i need to replace the pitman arm and trac bar ?

RE: ok 4x4 guys need some info
well ive got a 3 inch lift as well
sitting on 35x12.5xr/16
ground to bottom of bumper 27 (may be diffrent cuz i made a new rear bumper not mesured off an OEM)
ground to wheel well front 42 1/2
ground to wheel well back 44

any yes youd need a new pitment arm, track bar, sway bar youd want to lift the back the same as the front as well prob new coils in the front maby a bigger block in the rear, if you put in 3 in taller shocks with your 3 in lift then the shocks you have should be find otherwise youll need new shocks too

i got skyjackers with the lift so that shouldnt be a issue plus i have the sway bar drop link stalled.. wow with your 35" tire theres only 2" difference from my wheel well height and yours.. my next thought is going with a 3" body lift that will be an october install.... the 22"bumper was the front ..

Ok, here you go. My lift is Skyjacker 3" (D301K), which is basically 3" coils in the front, and an AAL for the rear. I arecently added Skyjacker control arms designed for 3" of lift, but they didn't originally come with my kit.

-Not sure what you were calling the bottom of the bumper, the bottom of the gray part, or the bottom of the black piece?
-Ground to wheel well in front: 41 1/8"
-Ground to wheel well in back: 43 1/4"

My rear block is the stock block, and I am sitting on 285/70/17's at the moment. These measurements are from the passenger side too, which sits a little higher then the driver side. Seems to be common on the 2nd gen Rams.

Have you considered a body lift on top of your 3" suspension lift? You could do 2" or 3", and run 35's, maybe even 37's. That's what i'm about to do.
