I just lifted my 03 ram 1500 2wd, 5.7 hemi. I used the rough country 3" kit and have 17x9 with 35x12.50x17 atturo trail balde m/t tires. Just to clear things up NO RUBBING AT ALL, the front does sit lower than expected so ive ordered 3" spindles, the front currently is 2" lower, the spindles should make the front maybe a 1/2 higher than the rear.

specs
wheels are -12mm american eagle 197 wheels 17x9
tires are atturo 35x12.50x17 trail blade m/t, awesome tires, balanced nice, rides great.
lift is a 3" rough country (springs, blocks & shocks) adding spindles next week

again no rubbing and rides great.

 

That looks pretty good. I plan on doing the 6 inch rough country when finances allow.

 

that 6" kit is pretty much 1000.00 after shipping. I have 570.00 total in the lift (3" kit 299.00, 3" spindles 268.00 chassic tech from ebay). I'll post pics next week with the spindles installed

 

I like it! May just have to go this route too on my 2wd.
