I would highly recommend the Fabtech 4.5 RCD used to be good for F150's and Chevy half tons!

Their 5" kit is actually pretty nice. They use a poly encased spherical bearing on the axle end of the control arms and the kit comes with Bilstein 5100's.

I didn't even know they made a lift for these trucks.. Had a 6" on my old YukonXL.. was quality stuff... I'd buy one for just a tire clearance issue.. if your going for a performance lift I don't know..

I have a supposed 6" kit, but am pretty sure the springs have setled alot since ive had it. Bought it new and installed it in I believe jan. 2008, and I really dont have anything bad to say about it. rides pretty nice actually, and comes with qaulity parts . But for the rear all they give you is a 6" block and add a leaf. I bought 6" springs also when I installed mine. My truck has grown since I originally lifted it though, so thats why my sig is difrent now

All I can say is I had one on my old F150 and I loved it! BUT, I can't give a good opinion on our Rams.

Sounds like some quality feed back. Does anyone know if it clears 37's?

It will clear most 37's as long as you keep the wheel width and backspace within reason. 9" wide wheels with a bs between 5 and 6 inches would be good.
