Check out pavementsucks.com they have some people with large lifts on there Rams. Are you planning to use this as a daily driver? If so I wouldn't lift it that high. The only things I think it would be good for would be mud bogging and looks and not really looks as I prefer lifted trucks to be able to actually go offroad. I'm not sure how well the 318 would turn those tires but I guess it would well enough.

look at the sky jacker kits, and plan o changing your gears to at least 456 when those 37s go on

if you want to only go to 37" tires all you really need is around 6-6.5" of lift. you will need to put on a front leveling kit but thats only about 100 extra bucks. if you stay with 6.5" lift Fabtech makes an extremly good kit. it is aorund $1600 bucks but well worth it. plus it can still be an everyday driver. but moparmania was right about changing your gears especiallyt with your 318. hope this helped.

Yeah I would probably look for a Skyjacker kit they seem to be the preffered brand. Also what I ran.

Superlift supposedly makes really good kits. I'm in the process of installing one on my Ram so I can't quite give opinions yet. Skyjacker stuff is a lot more expensive as far as I remember. If you only want 37s you can get away with the Superlift 5 inch kit (supposedly really raises it over 6 inches) and a small body lift.
