Is anybody running 37s on a 6" lift

I have 06 4x4 with a 6" pro comp lift and i am running 35s and i was thinking of putting 37s on my truck i want to know if they will fit and if i can run them without changing gears and if they will affect my warranty.My wheels are 20x10 with 4.5 bs and the tires i want to put on are 37/13.50/20.I also have a 2" leveling kit spacer like the kind that came with my lift can i bolt both of them together to lift truck up 2 more inches ?

i think if you run it with 6 inches it will rub like crazy...i have a 6 inch fabtech and plan to run 37's in the future and I am slapping a 2" AS spacer up front and a bigger block in the rear.

i have the stage 1 pro comp on my 06 with the bilstien 5100 shocks cranked for an extra 2'' up front the a 4'' skyjacker aad in the rear on top of the pro comp block. i am runnin 37s. im not sure how your gears will hold up i regeared before the 37s. but im pretty sure it would void the warranty due to all the extra stain your truck will be under.

Most people will agree that it's not a good idea to stack spacers. If you want to lift your truck up another couple of inches it's best to get the adjustable bilsteins, that would be the best way to fit your 37's unless you want to dish out money for new coilovers. And I wouldn't run 37's with stock gears for too long otherwise your tranny is gonna be hurting.

i don't know about on the nbs but on my 2002 i ran 37's with just a 3" body lift and a leveling kit for about 50,000 miles. now i have a 6" suspension added with 38"s with about 80,000 miles and still have not regeared. i do suggest regearing, i just have not put the time in yet and havn't had any problems.

this post is irrelevant. the OP was looking for the 04-08 bs truck with 37's on a 6in. lift.

Actually im sure they do. Im sure the OP doesn't care about your truck, he cares about his question getting answered. Make your own thread.
