Im guessing you have 3.73s for gears so i would do the 35s anything bigger your trucks gonna be a dog even the 35s are gonna show a difference.

'08 is gonna be 3.55s or 3.92s, 3.73 not available in a 1500 out of the factory. I wasn't even happy turning 35s on 3.92s and went to 4.56s - HUGE difference!

With the coil over, IFS front you'll need more than a small lift to clear 37s and you'll need a lift or at least a level and the proper backspacing on the wheels just to clear 35s. I wouldn't even consider turning 37s with spindly, little CV axles, myself...
