Heed these words - with the 5th gen Ram's you have to be very specific and do your research. Ram 1500 have the Off Road Group or Rebel and NON Off Road Group. The Off Road group and Rebel are 1" higher than the NON, but the control arms and other components are the same. So if you put a 2" spacer on an Off Road Group truck you are technically 3" higher than a stock/NON off road group truck. Ball joint angles come into play and new control arms are almost a must. Trust me, I've been down this road a few times.

Also the ORG gets it's height from longer springs/struts in the front and longer springs in the rear. If you did a coilover swap on an ORG truck and let's say it's a 2", you will only net 1" of extra height. Rarely I've seen manufacturers specifically say "XYZ" height over Rebel/Off Road Group.

But the generic answer is 2" with about a 34" tire. 275/65, 285/60, 285/65 or 295/60. Below is a pic of my 19 with the Off Road Group. In this pic I have a 2" front spacer, 1" rear spacer, new control arms and 1.25" Bora wheel spacers with 275/65r20 BFG KM3's. Would I do it again? No because I had some kind of bottoming out clank going on. But at the time there were only 2 options on the market for the 5th gen rams. Do your research!
