I have a 2017 Ram Sport that had 22's...I added a 4" RC lift and went with 35's . Ride changed a bit. Softer. Speedometer changed a bit. 5 mph when going 70 --really going 75. Gas did not change at all.
4in or 6in?

Gas didnt change? Mine went from 18-19 down to 12 when I put on 35's. Cant wait to see what it goes down to when the 37's go on. You can buy a tuner to fix the speedo. I got a super chips. Pretty good power tunes too.

I have 37" nittos with a 6" lift. Mine is a 2500 Laramie. Even 35" looked too small in my opinion.
Keep in mind size is relative. At 40psi these 37" actually measure 35.6"
Also no reason to have a bad speedometer reading changing tires. You just need something like a bullydog or alfaOBD software to change the tire size int he compyter so your speedo reads correct.
These people are dumb saying how much there mileage changed when they also say their speedo is off by 5mph LMAO How would they know what their mileage is then? the mileage would be way off idf the speedo is calibrated for the tire size.
The benefit of the cummins diesel in mine is that even with 37" tires and a lift Im still getting 20mpg on the highway sometimes more

I agree but for mileage mine did change a lot. From 18 down to 12. And I have a tuner that recalibrated my speedo, so I know it's dead on. I just have a heavy foot. Funny thing is I get better gas mileage at 78 than I do at 65.

A few picks of 2016 Ram Sport Lifted with 3.5 RC and 35 inch nitto's on 20 inch rims. Slight rub at full turn and included pic of my truck and same truck with no lift to see difference. At first, I thought 3.5 was to much and I wouldn't go bigger, but I have to agree, kinda wish I went six inch lift now. I don't think you will regret going with four for your first truck lift though. RC has presented no problems with about 20,000 on lift and tires. I am not off-road racing or anything though. I just really wanted to improve the look of the truck and give it more clearance.

Make sure to check with your insurance as well. Mine would not cover me when I went 6". I still went 6" and fond different INS. , but if you are partial to your INS you might want to double check.

The pic in my profile is a 4" Rough Country Lift with 35" tires on stock 20" rims. 33's would look rather small on a 4" lift.

Another option for you, consider getting a Zone or BDS 6” lift, but don’t install the front strut preload spacer, this will give you 5” of front lift. For the rear lift choose the 3” rear coils, this combination will leave about 1/2” to 3/4” of rake so it won’t look nose high.
