1999 Ram 1500 SLT, 5.9 360, 5" Rough Country Lift, 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers (want bigger), 17x9 Eagle Alloy Series 186 wheels, 17% tint all around, billit grille, 2500 Towing Mirrors, 8000k HIDs, 1 piece clear headlights, atlezza taillights, LED 3rd brakelight, LED reverse lights, Alpine 6x9's in the front, Alpines in the back, 500 watt Alpine amp, 2 Kicker CVT 10's, and more to come.... it's a never-ending money pit.

I know I had a 3rd gen...but I had a BL on my 03 1/2 ton. I loved it. Gave the the clearance for bigger tires and had a good look.

Never thought I would ever take my truck wheeling, but about a year before I traded it in I got into pretty good. Took the truck threw dry fields with tire ruts at 40-45 mph...body never moved or came lose.

Mudding never was a prob...except for the mud building up around the lift pucks, but that really isn't a problem.

Trailing...truck did great, no body movement, cab and bed stayed in place like it should.

All in all...its a good bang for the buck. JMO

I use to hate them as well. I know that on different generations body lifts look different and some show the gaps more than others. I had looked into the 3" body lift on top of my 8" suspension however I would not be able to use my light bar and off road lights and I paid a ton for them. I think that a body lift and 37's would look great on yours so my vote is yes.
