Default Question about getting a lift kit

Here are the specs of my ram:

Year: 1998
Model: Ram 1500
Engine: 5.9L 360 V8
Tires: BF Goodrich LT265 (32" Tires)

I was just wondering whether or not my truck would look weird if I were to get a 3" lift kit. I've seen plenty of trucks that don't look quite right because they've been lifted and have smaller tires. Do you guys think I would need bigger tires if I got a lift?

Thanks,
Viper

well 32" tires arent that big of a jump from stock, but i think it would still look good sitting up a bit on 32"tires

265's are closer to a 31" tire. I got a 3" body lift and my truck did look a little funny with the 265/75's on there so I went with 285/75's and it looks ALOT better!
