trust me, when you get the lift done and jump up into it and drive down the street hovering over other cars and trucks... its worth every penny

Personally I'd go with the 35's. But I'm sure you'll be happy with the 37's.

And, you WILL notice a big difference with a 6" lift.

You're truck is gonna be a whole different truck. Congrats!

You'll love it. It will look bad-***, and unless you're gonna be off-roading the hell out of it you wont have many issues.

Don't know about the Fabtech coil over IFS lifts for the 06+ Rams, but the torsion bar IFS made by Fabtech are one of the poorest designs out there. VERY bad on the CV's!
Hopefully, they did a better job on the newer kit or you are going to have problems with that big of a tire unless your are a total pavement queen. I know a few guys with '02-'05 4x4 Rams who are going through CVs as well as other front end components on a fairly regular basis with 35" and smaller tires.


Also, IMO you are really gonna wanna regear...

If you have stock 17s on the truck then you dont have 392s and if you are going up to 37s then I would certainly look at 456s to offset the tires. Ive got 36s and running 456s. If you have stock 20s then you will be ok for now but I would still upgrade. Take pics now of the CVs and when you get the lift on just take pics of the CVs again. That will let you know the angle difference.

I dont think you will have any issues either. If you were closer I could help you put the kit on.
