Not sure what the spindle kit is, I'd recommend a AAL with a spacer in the rear. On the front, spacers are cheap. You will need shocks front and rear. On the look, depends completely on the tire size you run. If you put say a 31-33" tire on it will look mostly stock unless your looking for the ground clearance (tire is proportional to the lift so it will not be really noticeable unless you have the vehicle next to a stock truck). Least that has been my experience with a Cherokee I have. Doesn't really look lifted because of the 31 under a 3.5" lift.

The 285/70-17 should fit on a 4wd once the torsion bars are cranked slightly. I run 285/70-17 on a stock 2wd 5.9 Cummins that gets 28 mpg. You'll be able to fit the 305's once your done.

IMO, that and the 5 link front axle are the only reasons to by Dodges. Now if only you could still get Alison's behind them like you could on the first gen 5.9's. I have friends that have 6.7's, they rather go to the 5.9. Just way more in the aftermarket for them and they are so much more fuel efficient. Only thing that's better than that is the CAT's and I don't know if you can still get that in a SD.
