Default Good lift kit for a 1997 ram 1500

Hey guys,
I知 new to the forum and I知 curious if anyone has recommendations for a lift kit for a 1997 Ram 1500 5.9l 2X4. Everything is stock so I知 trying to do a lift setup with good rims and tires as well but I wasn稚 quite sure of the specs. I was thinking maybe 33s?

I just did a lift...I only did front coils springs to get a level but i used
Maxtrac 2" lift springs. They are stiffer then stock but I like them on my 97 2wd, they did lift my front about 3.5" tho but the old ones were pretty worn out lol. The rears would be easy just lift blocks
The shocks I used in the front were these Bilsteins

​​​​​​
Hope this helps but good to point in direction... If u want to higher and use Bilsteins I just used the catalog they sent me via email I found the right measurements as the don't make a direct fit. Install took a bit as I didn't want to risk a spring killing me so I dropped the whole A arm down ripped a boot on the new ball joint but ended having to buy a whole new set bc the autopart store didn't have boots. If you want more information I'll be glad to help....I'm running 35s" but I have a tube bumper lmao so even before the lift I didn't have rubbing problems
