3rd Generation 1500 Lift Questions

[RamDestruction01]

Hey all,

I am looking to lift my recently purchased, 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Sport and fit 35" tires on the stock, sport rims.

Can anyone give me suggestions, with pictures and details (such as lift height, company etc) as to what they have done or others they have known have done.

Looking for that "perfect height", not stuffing tires under there while not leaving too much space, without any rub at all.

I was thinking adding a small leveling kit and then add a leafs in the rear. Not sure if I should do that or just level the front, by turning the torsion bars, but then again I have a feeling it may look too stuffed then if I just raise the front and leave the back stock, how it is now.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

This would be too much lift to tire in my eyes.

While this is just the smallest tad to little lift/no lift.

Looking for in between relative space, that perfect medium.

The black one looks like just a level and the red one looks like a 6" plus a lb to me but I could be wrong. Most on here run a 6" with 35s and they look great. I'd recommend wheel spacers of at least 1 inch to get the tires out there a bit...all just personal taste though.

Your setup looks pretty sweet! What size tires are you running and lift?

I just put in a rough country 6inch kit and i love it.. i have 33s right now since i couldnt afford tires wile i was lifting the truck, so i am upgrading to 35s soon... i have 20 inch rims and i have a negative offset to get them to sit out a little. look at my profile to find some more pictures, but here are a couple of the 33s on the factory suspenion...

I'm just running a level and 285/70/17 tires with Moto metal rims with a -12 offset. I've contemplated going bigger but I love the stance and I can fit in my garage which is kind of a big deal for me. Aggressive tires makes a big difference too.
