ya I have 37s with just a 6 inch suspension lift. I had to do a lot of trimming though but it doesn't rub at all now.

Here's my suggestions.

Lift - 6"
Wheels & Tires - 35x12.50/18
Intake - 3" AF1 CAI
Exhaust - Magnaflow

Check out ProComp alloy rims. ----> http://www.procomptires.com/alloywheels.html

Find the set you like, wrap them in a 35x12.50 BFG KM2 on the lift of your choice. I like the ProComp Stage II lift (w/coilovers and skid plate).

Now that I think about it, just get the Rize 12" with Kings and 42" KM2's.

if dont feel like spending that much on a suspension,

i took the cheap way out

i have a 3in BDs body lift
and 2.5 as

$1000 for 5.5 in of lift

sits about the same height as a 6in lift

and i also have 35/12.5R20 Toyo Mts

i dont off-road , and i will be adding the 6in fabtech with coilovers down the road for some 38's possibly 40's

Changing out gears

I have a 6'' lift running 35s right now and was thinking about going to either an 8"suspension or adding a 3 inch body to my 6", and running 37s....but i didn't know if i would have to do anything with my powertrain....does anybody know if i would have to change out my gears?
