Recently got my new 2015 RAM 1500 Sport, and I saw a 2014 ram 1500 sport with a 6 inch lift on some 35's. Was pure ****** vibes haha. But I don't want to sacrifice comfort of the ride. What's your thoughts/opinions? Will a 6 inch make my ride less smooth? More stiff? More bumpy? Best brands of lifts? I'm going to go through the dealership to get it installed so it will be covered by their warranty.

I'm lifted 6 inches. It's fine on smooth roads. The suspension is a bit stiff on rough terrain but doesn't jar you all that much. I drove 1000 miles of highway when I first got it, even the road noise from the MT tires eventually becomes a dull drone.

Mine rides better than stock. (6" zone lift, Bilstiens up front and 35" tires) I have AT tires and can barley hear them going down the road.

If you put on a good quality suspension lift with Bilsteins up front and good shocks on the back end a 6" lift will ride better than stock hands down. You won't be sacrificing anything. I'd definitely go for it!
