Default Body lift on a 2wd 06 1500

I searched and found some threads, but I was looking to see if anyone has done a lift on a 2wd 06 Ram 1500 and kept stock wheels and tires.

How it looks, any pics?

I like how 4x4 sit and was disappointed when I realized that my 2wd sits a lot lower than the same truck but 4x4.

I just want a look of a 4x4 maybe a bit higher. Another question - how much of a lift do I need to get up to a 4x4s hight or slightly higher? How much would it cost me to get the whole job done (I"m not too handy with trucks, so i would have to hire someone)

Thanks guys!

I seen a guy with a body lift on the 2008 4x4 with the stock 20's and it looked good. I was thinking about doing the same thing with my 2wd 2008 qc ram

Alright, tires is a possibility, but what I'm going after is at least the look 4x4 rams have. How many inches do I have to go up to match 4x4s heights?

my truck is 2wd and stock rims/tires and with a level/small block in back

just as high as my buddies F-150 with 3" body...but I'm wanting to put a body lift on also! It would look like a 2500 with a body lift and stock tires, and they look badass I think
