Default Help wheels lift tires

I have a 95 dodge 5.9 4x4 long bed with about 191000 miles on it. She runs great only issues with the truck is I had to replace the computer and ball joints no biggie already done. Now I would like to make her sexy. So I am wondering what size tires can I fit on her with a 4" body lift running 16" Mickey thompson classic ii. Also if I want to put 305's on will I have to change out the gears to 4:10. And laastly the truck is a dark silvery grey should I black out the trick or go for chrome. Amy and all answers are helpful. I'm looking to drop 3500 in her within the next two months.

Welcome to DF
Please use the search function before posting, this question has been asked a huge amount of times on many ram forums.

But since you already asked, you can fit 35" tires without much rubbing. In metric, thats 315/75/16. You'll want 4.56 gears with 35s. And if you ever plan on going bigger in tire size, get 4.88 instead.

My opinion on blacking it out vs chrome, shiny things are way cooler... but thats just me.
