First off, don't get a body lift... many people will suggest them because they are cheaper, and they are MUCH cheaper... but it makes your truck like a loaded fork lift with the forks all the way up (much more high centered, and tippy)... also a susp lift will give you better handling.

If you can get 35s, but be cafefuly about dumping the clutch or sliding sideways with them, the 35" tires act like REALLY big leavers and breaks stuff quicker.

Chances are if you get a susp. lift you'll also need new drive shafts. Although skyjacker has ones for the ram that doesn't need that work so you might wanna look there.

Next, make sure you got a bed liner, and its easy to clean your interior because it WILL get muddy.....

Obviously if you don't go out with a bud, get a winch.

If you got the money, locker in the back, and posi in the font, but if nothing else posi the back... that does as much as new 31" MTRs do.

Drop me a line if you got and specifics.
