Accomidating 37" Mud Grapplers

What should I purchase before I install the Fabtech 6" I'm planning on to fit 37"x13.5xR20 on 20x10" rims with 24mm backspacing I believe. I want them to stick out pretty far so I think I'm ok there. I don't want too much rubbing prior to trimming anything, so would a single add-a-leaf get me there, and some spacers in the front? What about a 2" bodylift if they're made?

im fixing to have a pro comp 6" adjustable coilspring lift that will fit 37x13.5x20 mud grapplers just fine. with the coilspring adjusted almost all the way out it will be right at 7.5". with no rubbing and no add a leafs.

The back would easy to take care. Make sure you have the 5" block (Fabtech kits come with both 4" and 5" blocks) and use an add-a-leaf kit as well. You'll be golden.

THe front would be a little tricky. You could go with some adjustable front coil-overs and crank them to full capacity. However, with 37" Mud Gapplers, you're still going to rub when turning over bumps.

I've got 35" Mud Grapplers on a 6" ProComp and I still rub occassionally.

Add a set of coilovers in the front, the rancho XXX shocks, or a spacer to get an added 1.5-2 or so. In the back I'd recommend an add a leaf as opposed to adding more block, that can get dangerous, especially if you are heavy on the gas while offroading. That is assuming you want it to sit level or maybe a tad higher in the back. If you're going to tow anything, I'd stay away from the prerunner look, but thats just me.

if you do a coil-over in the front and crank it all the way, your angles are going to be ugly..... your front suspension is going to wear fast. I wouldn't do it
