Has anyone tried 6" Pro comp with 37's?

Has anyone tried to fit 37's on a 6" pro comp stage 1 lift and just do some trimming to make it fit? Or does anyone know if it will work?

it depends on the specs of the wheel and a 37/12.5 would help aswell

I would add a little more lift by upgrading to the Pro Comp MX6 adjustable coilovers. Another less expensive option would be to replace your OEM coilover shocks with the OEM replacement Bilstien shocks. THese also feature adjustable spring preload to add up to 2 inches of lift.

I'm running a Procomp 6" + 2.5" spacer. I have 37x12.5 Kumho's and there's no way they would fit with just a 6" lift. I had to trim when I 35's with just 6". I also have -25 offset wheel. Maybe with a higher offset they would work.

Yeah, the MX6 coilovers are pretty high. The oem replacement Bilstiens would be a lot less expensive.

And they would still be an upgrade from your OEM coilover shocks.

Agreed! I have this same set up except I am running 36x15.5 and i had to do minor trimming! Definately not going to happen with just a 6" lift.

I have stock 3.73's with the 5.4 and an Edge tuner.

I may look into that, thank you.

My 37's are rubbing like crazy with an 8" lift. I'm just letting the tires "trim" away any extra plastic that is getting in the way. Fender flare, inner fender well, plastic running board. Going down the road and turning into a driveway or parking lot that has a bit of a hump is what causing me trouble
