Question Planning to lift

Stock tires are worn and it is time to lift. I have done quite a bit of research and this is what I am looking to do.

Kore Recon series lift
18" wheels (still undecided on brand)
Toyo 35x12.5 mt's
4.10 gears

This is nothing new, as many of the trucks I see run these size wheels/tires and similar lifts, but what about the gears and what offset should I run on the wheels. I want to lift, but I also have to depend on truck everyday for work. I want to do it right the first time. Any suggestions or recommendations, I am listening.

05 Ram 4wd 2500 w/5.9 Auto
Thanks

I cant help with offsets as both my trucks are 98's and take a different offset I think? Both trucks are daily drivers one with over 400k miles runs 35" tires with 3.55 gears. no problems plenty of power. Mine with 4.10s I switch between 37 and 39" tires. Still no problems plenty of power. If I was running 40's I think id like to run 3.73s so I'd still have enough power to wheel.
