Default level ?, and 5" suspension with 3" body lift ?

hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has a 93-01 dodge ram with a 5" lift and a 3" suspension on 35" tires? I put on a tuff country lift last summer, and l like it, but i wasnt aware that it wouldnt be level, so i called them today and bought extended coil spring to eliminate the coil spacers. I am also looking into buying a 3" body lift, but i would like to see it first with 35" tires already. Thanks for any help

Heres a crappy pic of a truck with a 5" suspension lift and 3" body lift.






But, if you are getting "extended" coil springs from your original 5" lift springs, wouldnt you have more like 6" or 7" of suspension lift? That would total more like 10", which would make a set of 35's look quite puny.

well thats what i was wondering, i have the 5" now, but the front end still sits 2.5" lower it seems, i want i 3" body, but i might go with 2". i just dont want my MT's to look puny, that red dodge looks pretty good tho, and if i have to, i might get 37's eventually, thanks for the pics

35s will be a little small but not goofy looking i have a 6 inch with 2 inch coil spacers and 35 and i am stepping up to 37s soon and possibly a 2 inch body
