im thinking about getting 20" rims on 37" tires but i dont kno how high the truck needs to be. Ill probly get a 6" lift but will i need a body lift also?? any ideas

 

yep - for 37's you need bodylift & 6" suspension. That's what i'm getting in the future..just gotta keep hitting the slots.

with only the 6" you can fit 35's...

 

I may be wrong - really wrong! - but if a few guys here can fit 315s (35s) on stock wheels with just the daystar level, why wouldn't a 6" lift be able to fit 37s?

 

you are very wrong.

it won't fit...and people are FORCING 35's to fit under just a leveler...

plus after a certain amount of lift you are actualyl making LESS room for the tire to turn in the front. Go look at your wheel-well in front.

Imagine it going up 2 inches...now 3...now as you pass 4 and go to 6 you will notice that it will "squeeze" your room again and lock to lock turns will now rub with anything greater than a 35.

Sorry to bust your bubble.

but then again, maybe with a grinder and cutoff wheel you can FORCE the 37's to fit under just a 6" list. Anything's possible with enough FORCE

Also off-set has alot to do with it...STOCK wheel with 35's fit better than wide *** 35's sticking out and hitting the fender. But stock wheels are ridiculously stuiped, and if you don't increase your track width you are gonna end up like my fliped over and burned out dodge on my website seanyarbrough.com

that's what happens when you lift to much. you flip the freak over and almost die

 

check out www.jdfabrication.com. Their suspension lift is insane plus all the F-150's they have done are clearing 37's. They have the sickest looking F-150's I have ever seen.

 

I have:

6" Pro Comp Suspension Lift
3" Performance Accessories Body Lift
37x13.50R18 Pro Comp XTerrains

No rubbing!

 

A dealer in No. Little Rock, AR was putting 37's on stock wheels on trucks with 6" lifts.... Don't know if they rubbed or not.

 

Well I hate to bust YOUR bubble but I have a daystar and I fit 35"s just fine and I"m not FORCING anything. AND, I'm on aftermarket rims as well.

Also, when you lift that much of course your center of gravity gets all messed up. It doesn't take a genius to know that with a lift you can't go hauling *** around corners and such and that you have to be more cautious. I personally have seen trucks with 10" lift plus go wheeling and not flip. Usually, those type of things are driver error. (not saying it as in your case)

Also, checked out your site. For a Dodge that truck was a beast. Looked awesome. To bad you rolled it.

 

I'm running a Fabtech 6", 17x9's and 35x12.5's....I always wanted to go bigger/wider. Like 37x13.50.....you think I can pull that off? BTW- I am also a 'part-time' sac resident.

 

I have 35" Toyo M/T with a Daystar and my passenger side tire rubs when I'm turn all the way right. It rubs slightly on the frame near the back of the wheel well. I have had them on about 2 weeks and taken them offroad three times without any problems.

My wheels are 18 X 8.5 w/ 38mm of offset.

Remember, wheel width and offset play as important a part in fitment as tire size.

 

But did you see the price!!!! nice, but wow. too much $$$

 

If your looking to go high speed through the desert then it's worth it. Otherwise, that set-up isn't for you. JMO

They also use fiberglass fenders. Im sure with a normal 6" lift and fiberglass fenders you'd be able to clear 37"s.

 

Yeah, the glass fenders may be the reason. But the whole set up is freaking awesome. You get what you pay for. Not that I have the money to buy it, but I'm sure saving up to get it.

It'll be nice to know I can really romp the truck hard and not worry about parts breaking though. Especially with Kings and air bump cans.
