What size tires are you wanting? How tall do you want to go?

You can clear 35s with a 6", and you can fit 37s with little issues. You may encounter rubbing with the 37's.

I have a 5 inch skyjacker lift on my 99 sport and it looks great, I was originaly going to go with a fabtech but a buddy of mine who has ever gen of ram STILL has had fabtech and skyjacker and he said he liked his skyjack lift alot better and the guy at 4wheelparts recommended skyjacker as well So I went with that. about 1500 installed w/ military discount
I have a few issues to fix before I get rims and tires so I cant answer any questions about that But if you have and extra $$ you might want to upgrade the shocks to the next level which I think is just a few hundred bucks, After about 5 months they will harden up and feel stock, but they felt like a Cadilac for 5 months : )

there are many brands out there suspension lift is the way to go 6 inch is a good size and if you use the truck for work i would reccomend 35's because climbin up and down the bigger truck beds gets tiring
