Talk to Dave (gas, grass, or ass), he did this on his Dakota a few years back. I don't think it was a huge job, just removing some rivets and bolting on new shackle brackets. IIRC, this was the only option available for the Dak, but I'm not sure about a full-size Dodge.

I would recommend a flip kit. I went to StylinConcepts.com and put in your truck and looked at DJM (just happened to be the first on the list) and found and front and rear kit that uses front springs and a rear flip kit. Shouldn't be to hard to find the size and brand you like.
