Fellow Dodge Maniacs,

After saving up for years, I finally bought my first Dodge Ram 1500 a few weeks ago. I've already added dual cat-back Flowmaster 40s and a K&N CAI.

When my factory tires wear, I'd like to lift it. HOWEVER, the problem I'm running into is that all I could really afford right now was a 3.7L V6.

I don't want to overwork the engine on my Ram, nor do I want my MPG to suck more than the Cleveland Browns.

I'm really not hauling anything yet at this point in my life.

I've kind of settled on a minor 3" body lift and no more, but I'd like to hear suggestions on tire dimensions/brands, rim dimensions/brands, and lift suggestions.

Any help is appreciated.

I would just do a leveling kit and call it a day. You can fit up to 35's this way and I doubt with the 6, you would want anything larger then that.

Leveling kit will be cheaper and easier then the body lift. Get the 2.5 front and 3/4 rear kit, works well, looks good.

 

Do you know of any pictures out there with that leveling combo?

I was told a leveling kit is bad news in case I ever decide to help a friend move or haul some concrete bags back from Home Depot for somebody.

 

Ok.... leveling kit and air bags. LOL I have the leveling kit and 35's on mine. You can do a 4 inch with 35's as well, still looks ok.

I drive 95% of the time empty and like it level. I have air bags for when I want to haul something to keep it level rather then have it sag to match the front.
