Looks awesome, I really like those tires. I thought hard about getting the MTZ's but I ended up going with the Toyos.

To mount 37's I would get the DL's and crank'em up two inches, and then get a 6" block w/ a 1.5" AAL or get a 4" leaf pack and 3 or 4" block. Basically you're gonna need 7.5 to 8" of lift to get the 37's to look right and fit right. You're also gonna need to re-gear at that point to 4.56's or 4.88's and may have to put a driveshaft spacer on or get a new driveshaft....

Good luck and can't wait to see where this truck finally ends up once you're done modding. I know I can't wait to get my Fabtech on.

You can add a BL and not worry about the drive line

You need to re-clock the front driveshaft. The master key must be grinded down, and the slipyokes aligned. This will fix your vibration and will prevent pre-mature failure of the front driveshaft. If you still have a slight vibration or use 4x4 at highway speeds, you may have to also have it re-balanced at a driveline shop. Mine didn't need to be re-balanced, not all do.

Looks great. I love haw the Fabtech sits perfectly level out of the box with no spacers, no stacked blocks/shims, and new shocks on all 4 corners.
