RCD, also look into the CST 7". It’s expansive but you really do get what you pay for. If you go with the fabtech don’t put a 2.5" on there you essentially will just defeat the purpose of getting the coilovers just crank the coilovers up you can get the same amount of height that way. And you will clear 37” tires with some miner trimming, depending on your backspacing.

where do you get a $1500 fabtech lift with coilovers? the coilovers themselves cost about $1000.00 bucks? I want to get coilovers from your hook up.

stay close to 5" of backspacing. hopefully wandell will chime in he knows everything there is to know about backspacing.

On a 4x2, I'd stick with 35's with the 6 inch Fabtech. You may be able to squeeze 37's on there if you add a leveling kit. You would have to stay with a narrow tire and wheel, like a 37x12.50 on a 8 or 8.5 inch wide wheel. Personally, I'd stay in the 5 to 6 inch range for backspacing.

if you crank the coilovers all the way you can clear a 37" tire. im in the same boat as you. i want 37's of my 4x2 because everyone has 35's, its not very impressive. itll be a tight fight but itll work.

with those 37s and that trailer your gunna go 0-60 in around 15-20 min. your going to need to get your axle regeared. i would stick with 35s. no sense in being different if you cant get arround cause your truck is so damn slow. that 6" with 35s should look very slick i would stick with that.

im doing 5.13's when i lift mine. at 85mph, the rpm difference between 4.88's and 5.13 is only a couple hundred. might as well go with the 5.13's for the extra bottom end
