It all depends on what you like and what you are using it for. If you off road and like to to have your truck sit level and look like it does now, but with just bigger tires then you will need a 4'' susp lift to make 35's have the clearance of your current set up. If you don't off road and like seeing a beefy tire with hardly any wheel well then go with the 2.5'' level and 35's. Personally I am going to do a level w/3'' BL and put 37x13.5's, but I like the stuffed wheel well look. It's just the look that I prefer. I have said it many times on this forum and I will say it again... It is your truck so do what you want to do to it. It is yours so cherish it and be proud of it. After all you are making the payments on it and the mods that you choose to do, which gives you the final decision. Both set ups will clear 35's... just think of what you like more. If you need to visualize it just type in the criteria to google images and take a look at other rams running 35's with a level or a 4'' susp. Just my .02 once again. ; )
