Default HELP!! Suspension question?

Here is a link to what I've already done to my truck.

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-ram-tech/177364-my-07-ready-for-some-35-s.html

My main question is, I would like another 1" to 1.5" of clearance in the front to stop the minor rubbing issues I'm having.

Could I use these Rancho Quick Lift shocks with my leveling kit?

http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/RS999793.html

Would it cause any suspension or steering problems to have both?
Any 4wd problems?

Or do I have to put a 4" lift on and ditch the leveling kit?

well with looking at the type of spacers you have it looks like it would work the only thing i think you have to worry about is hitting the bump stops that limit travel, but i dont think you have those (i had them on a tosion bar setup) i think your shocks limit your travel...what kind of rubbing issues are you haveing? and any pics with the 35"s installed?

It only rubs when I hit a bump or brake and have the wheels cut. It rubs on the body itself where I circled it.

I really don't want to do a body lift. I E-mailed Rancho to see what they say.

its weird that my 2500 has so much more ground clearance than a 1500, my sig is my truck with 35" nittos and they dont rub unless at full lock, and then it only rubs on the radius arms, i still have to put in my coil spacers

It sucks, I really didn't want to go any higher. I love the full wheel well look, especially now with the fender flares.

The flares were about 375 with a coupon at jcwhitney. I had them painted at the local high school body shop for the cost of the paint. ($80)
