Hey I am thinking about running your old setup when i decide to pull the plug on the 6" kit. Im gonna get the Fabtech with the DL coilovers though. Did your 22's with the negative offset and 35s fit ok with just your 6" kit. I could always crank the coilover to about 7" of lift in the front if I had to.

With just the 6" I had to cut the front lower valance and my fender flare on the rear front one b/c if not when I turned the corner of the tire would hit. If you get a drimmel or something to make a good cut you'll never even notice.

I agree with what effonefitty says, the 37's dont look bad, i just wish i would of went with 38's they give it a more beefier look

theres another reason you should go with 38's because they will look good when u first get them put on, but give it about a week and u would of wish u went with 38's

Once the funds build I'll swap the spacers for coilovers and maybe put a bodylift. Only thing about going with 38's is I'll have to either downgrade to 20's or upgrade to 24's. It's much cheaper to have a stock truck. Once you do something you always want bigger....

theres a black 4 door thats either 9" lifted (6 suspension 3 body) or 6 suspension 2" cranked and 3" body lift. with 24s and 37's it looks pretty good. i think he goes to lsu and his trucks a lariat with chrome bumpers black wheels w/ chrome lip

I finally got the 37's and paint. With a 3" body lift added I'd have to at least go up to 40's. I can easily fit 38'3 right now. And this is with a -25 offset.

Heres a picture. I started a post with a few other pic's. I'll get some better pic's on a clearer day.

those wheels are sweet, i can't stand them in a smaller rim, but 22's are just sick.

That is a pretty sweet truck. Never been much for chrome bumpers or wheels for that matter but it looks really good on your truck.
