Default Do I Lift this Or what?

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/1156140425.html

This is my current 2006 Dodge 1500
I have 22" KMC Monsters on it with 285/45R tires on it
I wanna lift my truck just because I think Its to small, Do you recommend selling my rims and tires I have now and get 20" rims with 35" tires? The reason I wanna lift it is because I dont wanna hit the curb with my rims and screw them up and Im pretty sure a 35" tire with a 20" rim would allow me to run those suckers over.

Does anyone out there have a nice set of 20" rims with 35" tires that they would like to trade? My tires and rims are mabye 2 months old and only 2,000 miles.

Let me know what I should do.

I have stock 20's with the stock tires on. If I buy a set of 35's would you trade then?
