to much lift in the front with out new radius arms will pull the tires back into the fenders. you need a 6" lift kit for 37's. the lift kit will come with longer arms

I wouldn't lift the front anymore than a normal leveling kit with out actual going and doing the arms and everything else that would be part of a lift kit personally. get the 37's and roll the fenders or do light trimming as needed

Not long ago did a complete front end rebuild and lifted the threw away the blocks and did the lift the right way. It got me over 2.5 inches over stock height, drives straight and fixes a lot of other problems Dodge has at the same time. Here's all the info. https://www.dieselbombers.com/5-9l-2...d-rebuild.html
