Hey all,
I currently have a 2012 RAM 1500 with a 2.5 inch level and 1.25 body lift, sits on 34 inch Nitto Terra Grapplers. I was interested in getting rid of the 1.25 body and putting a 3 inch body lift on with 35 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers. I'm not sure how much bigger this would make it look and was wondering if anyone had any input or had a few pictures of something similar.

Thanks!

Youd gain the 1.75" from the body lift and roughly an inch from the tires. Here's mine leveld, 3" body lift and 35s

You will have 2.5 inch level, 3 inch body lift, + 1 inch from tire = about 5-6 inch front lift over stock. In the rear you will have 3 inch body lift + 1 inch from the tire = about 4 inch lift over stock.

So this may sounds incredibly dumb to son of you, but I am currently leasing my RAM 1500. I plan on buying her out, but have only had her for 1 month (had no choice but to lease bc of credit reasons). I have the RC 2.5 level in her now, and want the 3" BL, if I install a BL, can I take it out and put in all the factory parts if need be if I kept all the hardware?

Yes. The only thing is that you will have holes in your front bumper brackets and a cut rear bumper.

Will they be noticeable? for the front, no unless they took off the front bumper. but the rear would be if they looked underneath it.

I dont know anything about leasing a vehicle or the conditions you have to abide by, but in my opinion I wouldnt mess with something that isnt my property unless I could return it the way I received it.

I saw someone who left the rear bumper at normal height with a body lift. The gap didn't look half-bad. And the rear won't be a ground clearance issue anyway. I sometimes skid my front bumper, but I don't think the rear ever has.
