Okay guys here it is... I have a 2018 ram 1500. I clear 40s fairly easily and here is what I have done.
Build consists of this..

6 inch rough country suspension lift ( with correct struts from RC.)
3 Inch body lift
2.5 inch leveling spacer on front
2 inch leveling spacer in rear
Wheels are 20x 12 with either -44 or -51 offset . Idk which. But the diff between the 2 is very minimal.
40x14.50R20 Atlas Paraller tires.
3inch fender flares.
I also have factory 3.92 gear ratio.

I do not take this truck off roading, it's a street queen. But nothing rubs.

I did however on the front trimmed very very little off the front valance or whatever it's called. And I removed the square box tubing behind front wheel on the frame just incase. And a slight bit off the front plastic inner fender behind the front wheel in front of the box tubing that's bolted in. I had to cut the tubing after loosening it up to get it fully removed. I didn't trim anything else. Here's a few pix.
