6" and 37s

I have been seeing few 01 and 02 supercrew 4x4s running 37x12.50 with just a 6" lift. Is there anyway I can do that on mine?

Thanks

One member at FTW has 37x12.50's mounted on his oem wheels using a Fabtech lift.

you can do it but its gonna rub. Id say the only way to do it would be to use stock wheels. Get a Fabtech 6" lift or another 6" lift (skyjacker) then crank the torsion bars all the way up. This will give you enough room for the 37's

Then later you can get a 3" body lift and some new wheels and make it look nice.

If you dont want to add a body lift later on then id stick with 36's then you can still run a after market wheel with 4.5" of Backspacing

Thanks for the info. I already have the 6" Fabtech (just not installed yet). I dont want to add a body lift just yet.

if you crank up the torsion bars all the way, i wouldn't doubt you could clear them. i'm running 35x12.50's on stock wheels w/ a 6'' fabtech on my 03, with no rubbing issues. i haven't cranked the torsion bars, either.

however, if you offroad, i PROMISE you they will rub, you really should consider adding a 3'' body lift, and perhaps going w/ a 37x13.50-14.50. it'll look really good that way.

it took us about 15 hours to install my 6'' fabtech kit, know what you're getting yourself into here. set aside two whole days for the job.
i had the front suspension dropped in four hours, it took another eight to lift it and put it back together. stuff tends to not want to line back up upon reinstall, and the frame may need to be ground some to get the front crossmember to fit. the rear i had done in two-three hours, but i put heavy *** leaf springs on the back. if you do just blocks, it will go quicker time-wise.
