Welcome to the site
Check out the Dodge Ram 3rd gen section for more help but to answer your Q, 33's with a front leveling kit. Rough Country makes a full 6: lift for about 900. Its the cheapest out there. This is assuming you are 2wd since you didnt specify

Hey guys, Thanks for the welcome and input. Much apperciated! Really want 35"s, but wasn't sure they'ed fit w/ a leveling kit alone. No money for a big lift yet. Nice trucks by the way. Wicked lift weedahoe. I'll throw a pic of mine up after I get my new m/ts installed.

These threads always get me. I'm in the same boat as the OP, except i have a 2" level.
His truck is an 06, and has different limiting factors than the 02-05 trucks. Width is our troubles.
You guys with 02-05's can fit wider tires it seems (eg, the guy with 315 wide).
On a 06+ truck, go look at how close the tire is to the upper ball joint with just 275's on a factory 20". 285's I've heard will fit, 295's are pushing it (depending on tire manufacture)

Yep and guys are also offering up what fits and what doesn't without knowing if the OP has a 4x4 or 4x2, which also makes a difference.
Kinda like the "What's the best tire?" threads where nobody knows if the guy owns a 4x2 3500 dually that tows heavy and never sees dirt or a 4x4 guy who wants to mud on the weekends. LMAO...
