Default Lift or Level - Need Opinions

I am new to the Dodge world as I have been a die hard GM man for many years. I have lifted GM trucks before but this is my first Dodge project.

Option 1 - I am contiplating a 6" Pro Comp suspension with 35's and would like some feedback on others lessons learned. Pics would be great.

Option2 - Looking at a simple level job using the Bilstien lift shocks with 285 65 20's BFG's. Do these shocks do the trick on the leveling? Is it really that simple?

i have an 08 1500 Laramie Quad Cab with a Hemi.

I appreciate all opinions.

Nothing beats suspension lifts but theyare tough on the wallet.
Bilstein lift shocks are a great choice and espscially for the money.
I would doa search and read through various posts to get an idea of pics and what troubles guys encountered. There are lotso suspension and level threads out there.
What I wouldn't reccomend is to just use level spacers aqs they cause problems more than not it seems. Bilstein is a good choice for the lift shocks

I would do a level and a lift. Ive got both but my lift is a Rough Country lift. They are about 900. Daystar coil spacers to level the front will run you another 100 or so.
