Ok as far as the lift from a 2500/3500 will not work since they use a coil from suspension and we have IFS (independent from suspension) two totally different animals. As far as the body lift dont believe it will fit but i did a quick search here http://www.performanceaccessories.com/catalog/dodge.htm and doesnt look like it will fit

yap, not going to work. you could get close to 5" lift with a body lift, cranked torsion bars, rear blocks and 35" tires... thats the cheap way anyway.
a body lift is about $325
get us some pics of that beast too
