Lift kit with or without shocks

I have the new body style 2019 Ram 1500. I’ve put 35” tires with offset 18” rims on it. Rides still comfortable, but rubs a little when tires are turned and hitting bumps (to be expected). This is my daily family driver but I like to hit the trails and beaches in the truck, nothing extreme anymore.
I need to lift the truck I’m guessing 2” - 4” for proper tire clearance. There’s a lot of kits that claim that they will fit 35” tires. Some are simple spacers, some include new control arms, some include shocks like the Mopar 2” kit that comes with Fox shocks.
This truck needs to last and I don’t want to do the job and run into future issues but I also don’t want to break the bank.
Any tips or suggestions?
 
Even though I have the Mopar 2” on mine, I’m not sure if I would do a 35” tire. I know my dealer swears there’s no fitment issue, but I’ve yet to see a single one like that on their lot.
