Default how much lift on stock Radius Arms??

i got a 94 dodge ram with a 3" body lift and 2" daystar buckets. i'm currently running 37's with now issue but there very close to the rear of the fender under full turn. i want new tires as mine are gettin low on tread and i know with new tires its gonna be even tighter...i was thinking about goin with a 4.5" or 5" spring and losing the buckets giving me a 2.5-3" over what i have now...i plan on getting the adjustable track bar. possibly a drop pitman arm if i need it...i just need info on the front, my local spring shop can tweak the rear... i plan on goin with a long arm later, just trying to do it a little at a time with out breaking the bank...

most lift on a stock control arm is 3". befor the tire just not center anymore and starts to kill tie rods and such. i make a long arm kit to fit your needs if you interested let me know

3 inches is doable but pushing it on stock control arms. If you go to a 4.5" spring you will DEFINITELY need new shocks, and probably upper, as well as lower control arms. A drop pitman arm is a must, as well as an adjustable trac bar.
