Default Need advice on '08 dodge ram

I own a 2008 dodge ram 1500 2wd, and im trying to decide on getting a 3" body lift or buying a suspension lift. I'm not going to use my truck for any type of off roading or anything like that. I just want to give it the look. When i do put some sort of lift on my truck what size tires should i put on it? I've just installed a 2" leveling kit also, i just want to go a little higher. So any advice and pics would help a lot.

Honestly if i were you, I would just go with a basic block lift for the rear and get spindles for the front. Since you have 2wd, spindles would be the cheapest and effective for a pavement queen. And you still retain stock ride quality. I would get new longer shocks for the rear with the blocks. You should have installed longer shocks for the front while you had everything apart but since your on asphalt all the time, no big deal. Your suspension travel is slighty limited. But def get longer for the rear because if you haul stuff, your more likely to notice the difference.
