all you have to do is level the front of your truck. i have 35 inch nitto trail grappplers on my dodge 4x4 with a 2.5 inch level( torsion keys) and dont have any problems. they fit perfect.

Here's a link from the FAQ section https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...d-fitment.html.
Read through it and it should answer some questions.

You can fit 35" tires with as little as a level kit up front, BUT if you need much articulation (actually plan on using 4WD off-road) then you'd want more lift. Either a 4" suspension or 3" body/level combo...
