im new to lifting

[wirth13boom]

i have a 2010 ram 1500 crew 4X4, and i don't know **** about lifting trucks.
my issue is that i want 35 inch tires with the minimum lift, i was thinking a 4 inch suspension lift and if i have to a 2 inch body lift. if i just get the suspension lift will i have problems with the tires hitting without having to cut of some of the fender and getting fender flares
this is a truck i will be using for hauling as well as offroading...i live in the boonies and my yard is wooded and hilly, and i have a lot of yard work to do. thanks

Welcome here bud there are 2 lifted 4th gens on here I think. How wide are you planning on running that 35?

 

[wirth13boom]

I am going for 35X12.50 R20, maybe a little wider.

Did some digginfg around to see what performance lifts.. a vendor here had and all i saw was 2wd in a section so ZI went to their site... you might be able to work out a system for a few bucks cheaper.

PerformanceLifts.com -- Superlift 2009 Ram 1500 4x4 4" Lift
PerformanceLifts.com -- Superlift 2009-2010 Ram 1500 4x4 6" Lift
PerformanceLifts.com -- Rancho 2009-2010 Ram 1500 4" Lift Kit - 4x4 Only
PerformanceLifts.com -- ProComp 2009 Ram 1500 4x4 6" Lift

See if any of those systems would work the way you want and drop them a line or hit them up in the vendor section.

should i be good with a 2 inch body lift?

I would go with a good 4" suspension lift . That would look and drive the best and fit a 35x12.50 perfect

Also thanks to Kenny for the links . If you would like go to the vendor section and post a question to our vendor performancelifts and they can get ya low prices and as a member here you get the RF discount .

thanks for all the help. i have one more question. should i get stabilizers or is 4 inches not enough to worry about it

 

[ramhunter9]

stabilizers , you dont need them on that new of a truck give the oem ones time to fall apart . The wider the tires and the bigger the lift I would recommend bilstin thats what I run and love them . I also have a steering box brace , but these are 2 different trucks .
With a 4" and those tires your good .
For now just find a GOOD 4" kit and your ride will be the same as stock . Want to improve the ride change all 4 shocks to bilstein .
