I vote Drop it. Heat the front coils, spring under the rear

Asking for advice on lifting it isn't putting it up to a vote... Do what you want with it. If you want to lift it then by all means have at it, if you just want ideas for modifying it then go right ahead and think about lowering it.

There are quite a few spacer lifts on the market that have polyurethane spacers for the front and blocks or add-a-leaves for the rear that will get it 2-3" higher and even the rake out some. This will probably cost more initially but the installation price will most likely be lower if you take it to a decent shop due to the problems a body lift will cause (mentioned in post #2).

like everyone said, if you lift it, do the spring spacer and blocks and run 33's consider that your power and mileage will suffer some. So lower it and run 20s.

You joined the offroad club, not the low rider club (if there is such a thing) so I'm sure you are already set on raising your truck up a little. Either way a mild lift with bigger tires or dropped with big rims/tires you are going to lose some mpg but you probably already know that. Personally I would go with a coil spacer lift over a body lift because of handling characteristics. There are plenty of members here in CS that are capable of helping you install a coil spacer lift, just order the kit and ask who is available to do it (provide some beer for services). A 2-3" coil spacer leveling kit should allow you to clear 33" tires on your dodge since the wheelwells are larger.

Do a mild lift and make it look and perform like you want it to have fun. Then when we go on serious offroad trips find a ride (as there are always available seats for lady folk) to experience more hardcore wheeling. Coil spacers and bigger tires are a good way to improve the look of your truck while still maintaining the stock ride. This will allow you to still enjoy offroading while still saving funds in case you decide to buy a more capable rig of your own in the long run.

baby Jesus cries when body lifts are installed. Look around for like a 3" kit with new coils and blocks/aal and drop it off at Dexter house for a weekend install.

good idea john, there is always space at the dexter house
but i also agree on dropping it.
