I am running 37x13.50x20 Toyo's on a 6" pro comp and a 2.5 inch spacer. The inside of the bumper was cut away so it won't rub.

No. fabtech plus cranked coilovers= 37's. can't crank the coilovers and add a leveling kit, it's either or, not both.

i wouldn't crank coils...you loose your ride...get the fabtech basic, it re-uses your factory coils to keep a factory like ride and then put a 2.5 spacer on top of it...then in the rear get a 2" add a leaf for your leaf spring.

dont do a body lift. it makes the overall look of the truck goofy in my opinion. its WAY to much frame showing and you gain no more ground clearance.

Having your coilovers cranked doesnt ruin your ride. my ride is perfectly fine with them cranked and my CV's do not look like that at all. if you want 37's now and you settle for 35's you will be kicking your own ***. i dont know how many countless people say they just want a 6" and 35's or something on that order and 2 weeks later man i want a couple more inches of lift and 37's... its addictive you no matter what you say its always in the back of your mind that you want more.

thats what all my buddies say- just go for it. So eff One Fifty you have a 2.5'' dirt logic + cranked and that does not put you at bad cv angles?

yeah i have dirt logic coilovers, they have a ring around the shock, the shock is threaded and you can turn the ring which cmpresses the coil to give you more lift.

regear= roughly $1500
lift with coilovers=3k-3200
wheels/tires depends on what size rims. you can spend anywhere from 1800-5k

my guess would be about 7-8k depending on which lift you go with, if you go with coilovers or a spacer.

another idea to save some coin.
basic fabtech- $1500 or could get a pro comp for like $1250 shipped from ebay
fabtech coilover blems- $560 (might have a scratch on them, nothing wrong with them)
tires/wheels- get blems from a manufacturer usually save atleast half on tires/wheels if you can find what you want

are you willing to install the lift yourself? that will save you 5-700 bucks

bender i was not looking to spend that much on a suspension- i can get a procomp stage 1 for about 1300. which will save me some change so i can re-gear and coilovers, ect. i think i have decided on 4.56 - do yall think that is enough to turn 37s(buddies said it will be a good gear so i can rotate some 35s during the off-season)
