Default Lift Kits??

i currently have a Ford F-150 2005. I am thinking about trading it in for a 2006 Dodge Ram 4X4. My question is, who makes lift ktis for them. I need to run 38X15.50 tires and my mazzi hulks 18X10 with 4.5 backspacing.

also, is the dodge ram a solid axle instead of IFS....im 95% sure it is just making sure though.

Thanks ahead of time.

yea the 2500 and 3500 are all straight axles, yea the ifs would not hold up against 40's thats just giving them a death sentence!!

btw if ya dont mind, why you thinking about trading out of the ford?

i LOVE my ford....amazing truck...rides like a sports car...decent if not beter power. GREAT interior and exterior looks.....mods friendly......but ive fallen in love with the Ram body style...the new one of course....and i just simply love it... i also have alwasy wanted a hemi or a cummins diesal which ill be gettin one of the two......and i want a straight axle truck to eventually put 40's on and the dodge is what i like...

the F-150 is my second favorite truck next to ths ram
