I'd suggest the Fabtech lift. You will be able to fit 35's with 6 inches of lift on a 4x4. If you have a 4x2, I'd look at one of Fabtech's 7.5 inch lifts. They will allow you to fit 35's on a 4x2.

yeah i do have a 4x4, but i have been told that i could probably fit 37s. i have my torsion bars raised all the way cause i am running 315/70/17 all terrain KOs and i have had cut some of the front off which doesn't bother me cause i am planning on modifying the front end anyway.

Yeah, you can probably fit 37x12.50's with the right wheel. I know one member at FTW has 37x12.50-17's with a 6 inch Fabtech but he used his OEM wheels.

http://www.4wheelonline.com/Products...872&ProductId=

or been looking at these procomp series 6089 20 inch rim

http://www.4wheelonline.com/Products...890&ProductId=

Both of those look great. I like the 6001 a little better however.

It will be tight. You would be fine if you add a 3 inch PA body lift also.

i would say do that they may not look as agressive but you will get a way better ride and quieter aswell. i know a few people personaly who have those tires and they love them.

ok just to verfiy some stuff 37in tires will easily fit on a 6in lift however why they want to use oem rims is because they have less backspacing (tires come out of the wheel well more) than most aftermarket rims factory backspacing is some where around 3.5in i believe most aftermarket 3.75-4.5 and even then most fit with no rubing

Get some BF Goodrich Mud Terrain. My buddy has them on his 94 chevy 1500 and they make that truck look awesome! They make it look so aggresive. Thats what I plan on putting on my new truck this summer. Lift, Rims and tires, super 40 series exhaust, then put my sound system in there.
