35's or 37's?

For all of you that have a 6" lift and 35's, If you could do it all over again and if money was somewhat not an option, would you still stick with your 35's or would you now have gone bigger and run 37's right from the get go?

I like 35s.. I've seen a few nice F-150s with 37s, but I just think 35s give it a much more improved, natural look. For me, it was all about symmetry and proportion, and a 6" lift with 35s seems to do it best.

Last I checked, if you're gonna go with 37s, you need closer to an 8" lift.. by 6" suspension cranked, spacers, body lifts, or whatever combos you decide to go with.

I'm obviously biased, but I still think 6" and 35s looks the best!

If I could do it all over again, and I still might, I'dto a long travel kit with my 37s. I blame it all on my cousin, and his race truck with 32+ inches of travel in the rear.

Yeah I don't even know why I am pondering this. I haven't even gotten a lift yet and I am thinking that a 6" with 35's won't be big enough. I guess I had better walk before I run, but I think I will go with a Fabtech with coilovers just in case I change my mind!!

If you're thinking about going bigger, just do it right the first time. It'll save you a lot of money in the long run. That being said, go 37's or even 38's.

x2 on what cashel said. i wish i went ahead and bought 37's instead of 35's. i'm rocking 6+3 on 35's right now because i can't afford new tires just yet, lol.

if you're even thinking of going bigger, you're going to regret it if you don't.

x3 I'm going from a 6" with 35s to 8" and 37s. Just do it from the start.

I do like how you're thinking it through and not trying to settle for something different than what you want... That's what I should've done - the thinking through it anyways... lol... I probly wounldnt want 37's personally, but I should've gone ahead and lifted all the way instead of blowing money on a 3" level kit :/

35s would look better with a 6" lift.

I would go ahead and get 37's now and cause eventually when u add more lift on, which we all know everybody does, u wont have to get new tires, I know this from experience, I have been throught 3 sets of tires in the past 10 months, the first two sets i had had about 2,000 miles on them each
