I don't begrudge you at all. I get it. Those 37's look awesome. It just wasn't the right combo for me. I live in the mountain states and hill-pulling power is important especially when you're towing (I traded off my diesel for this truck). Nobody wants to be the last guy at the top of the...
6" BDS with 35's on 18 x 9 zero offset zero trimming. Lot's of guys prefer more tire outside the fender well which I understand but I like less snow and mud slinging.
Have you looked into the Mopar lift? I know you said you wanted 1" and it's 2" from a standard suspension which should put you about 1” above your current height. It uses Fox coil overs and shocks.
Thank you. Dennis Dillon Ram in Caldwell, Idaho has an accessory group called Sawtooth. I ordered my truck and then I gave them my parts list and they ordered everything for the install. I never drove the truck without the mods.
Ok, good luck on my part... BDS announced the release of their 6" just before I pulled the trigger. At this time, they are the only 6" that I'm aware of that allows 18" wheels. In other words, you can go to a 35 tire and still have reasonable side wall for off-road. That made it a no-brainer...
I could be wrong but I think once you have factory 22's, you cannot simply go to 20's. They put larger wheel bearings on the 22" equipped trucks. Some of the lift companies are not compatible with factory 22's. Also, no-one to date that I'm aware of makes a 4" lift. There is level kit, 3.5"...
That's the quandary I was in except I wanted the 6" lift. I'm not a fan of low profile tires so I was prepared to go to 37's on 20's just to get it done. BDS recently released its 6" and they allow 18's. Plan now is to install the BDS spacer lift (rear replaces the springs entirely) with...
Fab Fours has a good looking bumper for those not looking to use stock. They have a nice matching rear bumper too.

If lifting is important to you.... Before you commit to 22's, make sure the lift of your choice is compatible with Ram's 22" wheel set up. The wheel bearings are larger and some kits I've seen are not compatible.
Not sure if you've pulled the trigger on this or not but BDS is now out with their 6" kit. One of the key differentiators is BDS will allow 18" rims whereas all others to date require 20's. In my mind, 35's on 18" wheels will give you the perfect rim/tire/sidewall combo. I'm not a fan of 35's...
I’ve called BDS twice in the last several months to tease a release date out of them but they are tight lipped. Kind of a bummer given this is “truck of the year.” They’ve already released their basic 6” for the 4x4 Camaro, ugh, I mean new Silverado.
