I want to know what size lift kit would allow for 35 inch tires and for 37 inch tires....?

Also, brands you may recommend, thx!

 

Is it a 1500? If so there are half a dozen or so kits available in the 5.5-6" range, which is what you will need to run 35's without rubbing. However, you will loose a bit of height once the new suspension settles in. That slight loss won't affect you unless you run really tough trails with alot of very uneven terain.
If your looking to run 37's you will need to go with a 3" body lift as well as the 6" suspension lift. I know a guy with that set up and it looks really nice and he can disconnect his sway bar and still not rub.

I have a Superlift that seems to be bullet proof so far and Skyjacker makes a great kit as well. Procomp and Rancho make a kit as well but i have yet to here anything good about either of them.
Happy hunting

1500

I am looking at the lifts you mentioned. The photo you added is really nice. CLean setup! hat width rims did you go with?

 

The rims are M/T Classic II's and they are 10.5" wide by 17". The tires are 35" by 12.5".I like the rims because they are simple and have a clean look that is easy to maintain (not alot of work to keep clean).

I tried to find more pics that showed a clear view of the front suspension but this was the best i had. There are more pics on the link in my sig.

Also, here is a link to Superlift's site if you haven't found it yet. You can look up your truck and read about the kit for it. You can even download and print out the entire instruction booklet for instalation.

There is a guy on DTE that is running 35 A/T's under his 1500 Off-road edition with nothing more than a set of Truxx torsion keys, and new shocks(bilsteins from the '00 ram. He has taken it off road in some light stuff and hasn't suffered any rub yet. And he is running the factory wheels from the offroad edition. They are sweet and I plan on installing a set of my own soon. They aren't expensive and maintain the factory ride.

Here is the link:

The factory wheels are awfull narow. That might explain why he hasn't rubbed, or what he calls light off road might mean a "dirt road". If you run the factory "off road edition" wheels (i have mine in the backyard) you won't be able to go much wider on your tires because they sit so far into the wheel well. I wanted to keep mine as well but there was no way with a 12.5" wide tire.
But if your building for all show and no go then it really doesn't matter. Tell that guy on DTE not to take any speed bumps very fast.

Does that Truxx lift crank the torsion bars tighter? If so that is a big concern as it ruins the geometry of the front suspension and causes very fast wear on CV's, tie rod ends, and the ball joints.

My two cents, for what it's worth.

 

Admittedly the lift is designed for 33's to fit and still be able to tackle the really rough stuff. As for the cranking.. NO The lift doesn't add any torq to the bars it just reindexes the keys.. it's like taking a box wrench off a nut and turing the wrench a quarter turn and put it back on, puts the wrench handle in a different position without turning the nut, same concept here. It will change the geometry of the front suspension but not the ride or flex qualites of the suspension. but it should be noted that EVERY lift on the market changes the geometry of the suspension to some degree. Thus the definition of a suspension lift. but all of them, including the truxx keys, won't take the suspension out of acceptable angles. Remember that most small IFS lifts from 2-4" for smaller trucks use this same concept up front. ALL S-10 lifts use torsion keys in conjunction with their other components.
