6 inch with 37's?
 
i know a lot of people are running 37's with 6 inch lifts. im looking to get the 6 inch BDS lift with 37's. whats the best way i can make this fit. also please post any pictures if you have any.

i don't know anyone really running 6 on 37's its usually 6 on 35's 8 on 37's 11 on 38's 40's. You'll be rubbing like crazy up front i can guarantee you that! Best bet is to put a 2" spacer up front and either AAL/block combo or like a Rize block in the back to get you to 8 inches.

if you wanting 37s best getting an 8inch straight up instead of the 6inch. Have alot more clearance and plus if you wanna go bigger you can with a spacer and body lift. Bc your gonna have to re gear anyways

to get a cheap 8in.s get a 6in. lift then put a leveling kit on top and then you can run 37s without scrubbing. i know i guy that runs them on just a 6in. kit and it scrubs bad.

My 6" Pro Comp lift lightly rubs 35s on some occasions, I imagine adding another inch to the radius of the tires would only make matters worse.

If you are set on 37's, either pony up for a true 8" lift kit, or buy a 6" lift kit and raise it an additional 2" via coil-overs, a leveling spacer or Bilstein leveling shocks (method vary depending which 6" lift kit you install). :thumbsup:

.... and remember. Along with the 37's comes another 1-1.5k for the gears to keep the truck moving on down the road, and or your tow hitch to remain a positive thought =)

I just got done putting 4.88s in my 09' on 37's because the 5.4 reminded me of my push mower with the forward assist off.
