Should I lift my truck?

[RamyRam]

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 sport special edition, with the Hemi V8, rear wheel drive and standard/single cab. I love big, beefy, high lifted trucks and would love to transform my stock truck into my dream. Would lifting it 4 inches or higher (aiming for higher) and bigger tires be a stupid idea? I get mixed answers on lifting a sport, telling me to drop it and add slicks but thats the opposite of what I want. Should I also level? I'm not the smartest when it comes to this stuff and dont want to drop thousands for nothing. Thank you!!

Your money, your truck do what you like.It'll look good. Just don't tell people its a 2wd.

What experience do you have driving a lifted truck? It changes the handling and performance significantly. You may spend a bunch of money and once the new wears off dislike how it drives. Or not.

I like a higher truck for the visibility. I don’t like the reduction in acceleration and braking, and the increase in side to side roll.
