Question Need More Lift and Tire Help!!!

Ok here is the deal...as soon as i gather up some money, it will be time for some 37s. I am trying to decide what to get and want yalls help. I am looking at a 5inch rcd, 6 inch fabtech, or 4 inch rancho. Im pretty sure you will say that order, but make my choice easier.

On the other hand, the tires they make in 37s for 16 inch rims are the Pro Comp Xterrain, Mickey Baja Claws, **** Cepek FCII, and Cooper Discoverer STT. Of the 4, which has the best road performance? Mud Performance? Which one will last the longest?

Thanks for all the help and hopefully i can get this done asap.

Keith I'm doing the swap so I say my RCD lift a 3" body lift and some 37X13.50 procomp Xterran tire. They last the longest of any big tire. They r easy to balance, and give u real good grip.

They r real good. But the only basis I have to go by r my friends superswampers, and groundhogs. I know I don't hear it much when I go down the road.

I've heard they last a good bit. I don't know how many miles or an estimate though. I would assume around 40K.
