Default Suspension Lift for 1996 Ram

Hi Ive been looking into suspension lifts for my truck and was wanting to get some opinions on the best ones. Im looking for one that will include everything for modifications to linkage and what ever else needs to be changed i have no experiance installing a lift but want to start with the best i can afford. I was looking at the rcd 5 in suspension lift. I will not be running anything bigger than 35s, prob smaller until i can afford it so i was wondering if 5 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift would look bad with anything less than 35s and if a 3 inch suspension 3 inch body lift would be better. Some pictures with what is on the truck would help alot thanks.

Heres my truck with 35's and a 3" suspension lift and 3" body lift. In my opinion, if you are thinking only 33's-35's, stick with either a 5" suspension lift or a 3" suspension + 3 body. 8" is quite a bit for 35's, although not too bad, but with 33's.... hahahahahah. And if you go with a 5" suspension lift first, later on you can always add the body lift if you want more.

RCD makes a nice kit, as does Skyjacker. Also check out the BDS system, especially with the long arm upgrade... Lifetime no-questions-asked warranty!
