I have a 05 Ram with torsion keys on the front and add a leaf on the back, and was wondering what setup would go along with the setup I already have if any. I am new to all this, I just recently purchased this truck in October and would like to go a little high but not much. I can run 35's right now but they only rub when backing up and the wheel is cranked.

Here is a pic. if needed

Assuming you don't want to drop about 1k on a suspension lift, I'd say do a small body lift to help you clear those 35s a little better.

Oh, and tow mirrors are highly recommended too. ;)

i agree on the body lift. 3rd gens look great with a 3" body lift and 35's imo

Yea they are road armor, and i love them! And thanks for the looks. I really dont want to drop a bunch of money right now for a suspension lift, but if I hold off till summer I might. Any suggestions on suspension? Oh and whats the red club?? New

his are the oem 4th gen tow mirrors. They wouldn't fit on your truck. But there are similar oem tow mirrors for your truck. Many members on here have them. Somebody will probably post pics of their's soon

There are another style of OeM tow mirrors that are big and round and then there are aftermarket ones that look just like the fourth gen tow mirrors.

I think your truck looks good as it sits, but a body lift would definitely look good too.
