I have a 2005 dodge ram 5.7 v8 hemi, it has leaf springs on rear & torsion bars on front, i`v just bought 2" leveling keys for front & a 3" body lift kitt, Can any one tell me whats the max size tyres i can use once kitts are fitted?

check out the 3rd gen. ram section...tons of info in there in regards to your question. but, you should be able to clear 35"s with your setup.

Just a note on torsion bar keys: they are NOT a suspension lift kit. All they do is allow you to over tighten the torsion bars and raise the vehicle ride height past the manufacturer's specifications. Meaning the truck will sit higher in the front, but the ride will be stiffer and possibly uncomfortable.

A true suspension lift will raise the ride height without affecting spring rate.

Also remember that increasing tire height (changing final drive ratio) will decrease your jump off the line, and will require reprogramming of the PCM to keep the control system and the speedometer in sync.
