Can I Fit 37s.

I already have a 3inch body lift, if i cranked the torsion bars and put a block in the rear, could i fit 37's? If not what could i do to fit them without buying a suspension lift?

I would say no. Your truck looks good as is. Leave it alone!

I have seen it done with a 3 inch body lift on a supercrew. He had to do some trimming on the valance and the bottem of the inner fender. I would say you could do it just dont go any wider than 12.50.

Talk about a tight fit, but i'm sure it can be done.

Anything is possible with a sawsall, but I'd say stay with the 35's or start saving for a suspension lift.

indeed, just by looking at your wheels, if you were to throw 37x13.50's on there, it is going to rub...probably to the point where you will have to cut half the inside of your fender well out. and then it will probably still rub. id go with a suspension lift.

lets put it this way... The dude I got my truck from had the torsion bars cranked... it rode like crap and felt like I was on stilts.

I have a 3in body lift and a 6 inch suspension and 37's are tight. 35's are small. I doubt you would even get close without a suspension lift.

You got guys running 10 inch lifts on 37's. Most guys a big as me or bigger keep to 35-38. Bigger dosent always mean better. my buddies 48's on his f150 is beast tho.

I think you could fit them but you would have to do some serious trimming. The place it would rub the most would be at the fender flare and the inner wheel well. I dunno if you would have to trim to the point of taking some of the actual fender or not??? The inner wheel well you could maybe move enough to clear without trimming. It would be stuffed if you can fit them.
I would leave it until you have enough for the lift IMO!!!!
