6" fabtech with 2" spacer. clears 37s?

I am sure this has been asked over and over but with a 6" fabtech and 2" spacer, with aal, I should be a full 8" of lift?, enough to clear 37x13.5x20

Yes, but why not just do a true eight inch suspension lift?

I am working on lifting the front end. I haven't quite figured out how I am going to do it. Coilovers, spacer, or adjustable shock, but I have a Sky-Jacker aal right now. I am leaning towards the spacer since I already have it...

I have 37x13.5x24 with just the fabtech 6" so with the added 2" you should be fine. By the way I do rub the inside of my flares only at full turns on bumps. I am also planning on adding the 2" spacer up front soon. The skyjacker 4" aal has been waiting in my garage.

Butter, where'd you get the Skyjacker 4" leaf pack? I need to buy one. . How much did you snag yours for?

purpony, you'll rub pretty bad without the DL coilovers, even then I'm rubbing bad so I can't imagine what it'd be like without the extra lift. Also, he has aftermarket flares, that is where you rub (on the flares). Be ready to do some trimming. I am pretty close to doing the 3" body.
