6'' procomp question

Hey guys i'm a new member here- I am planing on doing a 6'' procomp on my 07 single cab 4x4 and i have some questions. Can i run 37 toyo's with minor or no rubbing? What gears should i run (4.88 is was what i heard but i might run 35's after hunting season, so i need good all around gears)? And if you have any input on a 6'' like problems or advice, it would be appreciated.

you can run 37's on a 6" with a 2" front spacer and add a leaf in the rear... a good gear would be 4.56 if you might go down back to 35's...where the hell is jeanerette?

im pretty sure procomp stage one comes with a huge spacer to put on top of your factory coil over...and if you have a metal 2.5 leveling kit you would have to stack that on top...which is a really cheap/sketchy way of doing it...id get a kit that comes with a whole new coil over or new strut (fabtech kit) then put a spacer on top of that.

do you think that fabtech makes a good lift, i mean are you pleased with it so far, and what size tires are you running?

okay, you can run 37's with the 6" but it will rub, you may feel like dealing with it at first but believe me it gets annoying haha, i had 37's on a 6" for about 2 months then i through some coil-overs on it and it was so much better. I would say get the Fabtech though if you want to run a spacer on top or buy the procomp stage II it comes with coilovers. i bought the procomp stage I lift and then upgraded to fabtech dirt logic coilovers a couple months later with an AAL in back.

eff one fitty is right, just listen to his advice. if you want to keep your 2 1/2" spacer either get a fabtech stage 1 and use your spacer or get a fabtech or procomp stage 2 (has coilovers) and crank them and get your 8" of lift needed for 37's

just know that a fabtech with a 2.5 spacer makes the cv angles pretty bad.
