Nah just kidding, got my body lift sittin in the garage and my 6" Fabtech lift with dirt logic front coil overs and rear 2.0's with reserviors should be here this week.

They only rub when you turn? Haha that's funny man. You'll be ok on the freeway, but I don't know how you're going to get there!

Keep us posted on the lift.

Damn I'm feeling left out with so many people getting 6" lifts around here.

Also, hey theanimal. Could you please record your 65 or 70 MPH RPM's in overdrive w/ stock tires and wheels and then with the 37's? I'm assuming you just put those on as a joke and you're going to be putting your stock tires/wheels back on for a few days.

Yeah its gonna be a little while before they are on there for real. I was just messing around with them today. I gotta bring my truck to have the body lift done next weekend and then I gotta put on the suspension lift after that, so hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks it will all be done.

I have the same setup and am thinking of going with the 3" body if my 37's rub too much. Are you doing the install yourself? How bad was the rubbing?

all that is on there right now is a 2" autospring kit. I never drove the truck with the wheels on it I was just messing around. I couldnt turn the wheels 1/4 of the way without taking the bumper off.

I am going to let 4 wheel parts do the body lift for me , I just donthave the time to tackle it. The suspension lift I will do myself.

I am thinking the same, bringing the truck in to have the bodylift done. Took a while to iron out the bugs of the suspension lift and don't care to go through that again. We'll see how bad the rubbing is when I get the tires mounted tomorrow (hopefully). Who knows, by then I might have replenished the energy lost and take up doing the body lift. I might call you up eric if you read this ;P.

Josh,

I think you'll be rubbing for sure without a body lift. Here is a pic I found of your rims on a 6 inch fabtech lift. They both could only fit 35s with the 20 hulks.

I like this one:






I hate to say it, but I kind of like these 35s.
