I have a Rough Country 6" on my 07. Nothing but good to say about it. I have had it on for a year now with no issues at all. Highly recommend them. They are cheaper than the zone and come with basically the same parts and have a warranty also. The rough country lifts are taller than any of the other lift brands...(closest to true 6")...check them out

I am running 35x12.50-20 on a 20x10 -24mm offset wheel...

You could probably run 37's on a stock wheel or a wheel close to stock backspacing and offset but anything wider they will rub.

They recommend a 37 in the instruction sheet but I personally think they would be stuffed in there...

If you combine the lift kit with the Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks (which I have also) you can get up to approx. 8" of lift but would have to get a bigger block in the rear to level out the truck....I currently have my shocks set at .7" of lift but will be maxing them out at 2" very soon and also adding the 1.5" body lift from zone that they just came out with for the 06-08 ram 1500's and will be going 37's
