If you look here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-ram-faqs/188406-tires-size-and-fitment.html
it says you need a total of 4'' to clear 36's but i recommend getting a 6'' lift from rough country http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge_2wd_02-05_6.html
its pretty cheap but i think your going to have to get new wheels for that tire because i think stock wheels are 20x9(correct me if im wrong) and the tires are 13.5 in wide so i recommend a 20x10 with at least a 4.5 backspace

if you want, i dunno if it would be easier per say cuz instead of doing the suspension once, you have to tear apart the suspension then the body....kinda sucks if you ask me, and you can fit the tires with the stock rims, BUT they will wear on the inside faster than the outside..ive got 15/9 rims on my yota with 35-12.50's and the center is gone with about 1/2 tread on the sides..

Yep, without gears that thing will be a dog turning 36s.
As far as the lift goes, you don't have front CV's, so I don't see a need for you to go combination suspension/body lift. In a IFS 4x4 truck, doing the combo helps keep the angle of the CV axles at more of a stock level. The higher the angle, the more stress is placed on them.
Now, I am by no means an expert on 4x2 suspensions, but I don't see where a 6" suspension lift would be a negative for you.
Now as far as 4" goes, this is 4" of suspension lift on my truck. It's a 4x4, but should give you an idea as to the look and clearance. I have 35" tires, but as you can see, 36" tires would fit.
