6inch procomp questions

Hey guys i'm a new member here- I am planing on doing a 6'' procomp on my 07 single cab 4x4 and i have some questions. Can i run 37 toyo's with minor or no rubbing? What gears should i run (4.88 is was what i heard but i might run 35's after hunting season, so i need good all around gears)? And if you have any input on a 6'' like problems or advice, it would be appreciated.

The 6" by itself wont clear 37's it will however clear 35's

If you want to run 37's you will need to get adjustable coilovers and crank them for an extra 2" so you can clear them.

If you want to go that route then go with a Fabtech 6" they come with adjustable coilovers.

on the gears you can run a 4.88 or 4.56 if you plan on swapping back and forth from 35's to 37's id go with 4.56's

4.88's will work but it will take some highway MPG away when running 35's

I think it can be done. I have the 6" procomp and run 36x13.5 iroks. The specs on these tires are 36.8" tall. I have seen specs on 37" tires as low as 36.6. Anyway, you will have to do some trimming. I had to trim the inner fender well. You will have to grind some metal off. You can get a grinder form home depot for $40. Here's a pic before i grinded the metal off. It was pretty easy and i had no experience with this kind of stuff so i'm sure you could handle it. If you do decide to go this route, check out your tires specs. Not all 37's are the same size. For example, the toyo's are really 14.5 inches wide.

Thats true, i have the nitto terra grapplers and the specs on them are 36.69, but if u got some toyos they are a true 37
