35" tires on '24 Ram 1500 Tradesman

[silversurfer2x]

Hello. First time Ram owner and first time pickup owner. I got a '24 Ram 1500 Tradesman last month. I didn't like the wheels/tires, so I found a set of TRX takeoffs on ebay. The tires are 35". I checked with a local 4x4 shop before I bought them, and they said a "Rough Country 2" Ram Front Leveling Strut Kit" would work (and wasn't too expensive). Now they are saying I need a 3.5" lift all around. I called another place for a second opinion and they said the same.

Figured I offer it up to the "experts" for a 3rd opinion. What should I do? I love the truck and am super impressed with the ride quality. I didn't want to impact the ride quality much, if at all. Is a 3.5" Rough Country lift really necessary? If so, would it impact the ride quality significantly? I have woods on my property and will be driving it there occasionally, but no serious off-roading. Appreciate everyone's input!

You will need a 2" lift but more importantly you will need wheel spacers to clear the upper control arm due to the 12.5" wide tire

You’re probably going to have to trim some plastic too
