Cool... 2 people to help out in 1 thread.
First off... BigRam360, and H Justin H on your first trucks. They're a heck of a lot nicer than mine were at that age.
BR360 - a 2" coil spacer may or may not work for you. I'm a little confused on how your truck can be sitting level right now without a couple of things happening. You could have aftermarket springs up front. You could have worn leaf's in the rear. Or you could already have coil spacers. I can't remember seeing a 2nd Gen Ram 4x4 sitting level from the factory.
If you add the 2" spacers to an already level truck, then obviously the front end is going to sit higher. That means now you've got to do something with the rear of the truck. A coil spacer, regardless of height, is going to pull your front axle back towards the cab of the truck. This is where you're tires will rub.
If it were me and my truck, I'd go the body lift route. Our trucks hide body lifts very, very well. There's not a nasty gap between the body and the frame like there is on most trucks with body lifts. a 3" body lift from Performance Accessories will set you back between $200 and $300 - that's just in parts. You can guestimate the same to pay someone to install it. You do need to know how to weld to do the install, but it's not a project that can't be done by the average weekend mechanic. Also check you're local 4x4 boards to see if there's someone there that would be willing to work for pizza and beer (provided by your parent's of course!). I work for pizza and beer all the time.
H Justin H.... A 6" lift and 35's is a great place to start. My recommendation is to drive your truck HOW IT IS for at least a couple of months. That way you can learn the truck, see how it likes to drive, and see if there's any weak spots in the truck (tranny, axles, etc). After you've gotten bored with it, then do the 3" body and throw some 37's or 38's underneath it.
Fer both of ya in regards to shocks. There's as many different opinions on shocks as there are members here. A good rule of thumb - you get what you pay for. If you buy cheapo shocks, you'll feel it in your teeth when your bouncing all over the road. Spend the money and get the "nice" shocks, and you'll be happy with them. I think someone mentioned Bilsteen and Rancho. I'll second both of those.
And seems how both of you are in high school, it is very important that you remember these two things:
1) Chicks love BIG trucks!
2) Fat chicks can't jump!
Enjoy your truck's and good luck to both of ya!
