I saw the pics in your album, I like how it looks.

so how much did this package cost and how did you get 37's? are they rubbing or did you have to do a lot of cutting? the max for all the 6" lifts is 35 according to the product info. I currently have the level kit w/33" tires & would like to upgrade to 6" with 35's (or 37's if possible) but not sure if it will be a noticeable enough difference to justify the expense. I've been looking at all the pics I could on this thread and sometimes the trucks with leveling kits don't look much smaller than the 6" with 35's.

next question...i don't have any engine mods and don't plan any so I want to know if the 35's are going to be an issue. my 33's (actually 305/65 r17) have been ok but that really isn't bigger than what it originally came with, just wider.

i got everything (lift rims tires installation add a leaf) all for 6 grand give or take, i got the stage 2 procomp with adjustable coilovers that can be adjusted to give you 2.5 inches of extra lift and i got a 2.5 inch add a leaf in the rear, if i really wanted to, i could throw a set of 38x13.50 tires on there and still clear them. my tires dont rub a thing, ever. the way i justified the 37s was by takin it in the mud, once i did i was glad i got them and they were just as expensive as a set of 35s (4wheel parts likes me and cut me a deal). if you dont plan on at least getting a programmer to re calibrate your speedometer then i wouldnt go with 37s, stick with 35s, still a great tire size and looks great with a 6'' and your truck should have no problem turning those 35''

also, many people with lifts will agree with me on this, pictures do NOT do a lifted truck justice. my truck in person is a hell of a lot bigger than the pictures portray. when i got my truck back from 4wheelparts after they did the install i thought they got confused and hooked me up with the 8'' rize kit

i cranked the coilovers, that came with my stage 2 pro comp 6 inch, the extra 2.5 inches that hey can be cranked and added a 2.5 inch add a leaf in the rear along with block that came with the lift, thus adding another 2.5 inches to my 6 inch lift...
