will a 6'' with a 3'' lvl and an AAL and rear lift shackles allow you to accommodate 37s or 38s ?

It would, but why waste the money on a leveling kit, when he could just crank his coilovers up.

Body Lift for sure.

I do not rub at all with my 38's, but its a combination of a 13.5" width tire and a 9.5" wide wheel with 5.25 backspacing

i have a feeling when i put the 20x10 4.5 bs Mazzi hulks on in the spring i will be doing some trimming.

heres 6" BDS suspension lift + 3" BDS body Lift and 38/13.5R20 Toyo M/Ts

I didn't rub at all with 8.5" of suspension lift and I was running 38x15.5's on 20x10's w/ 6" backspacing. I didn't even ave any rubbing when I added 1/2" spacers. My valance was already trimmed so I'm sure that had a little to do with it.

IDNC76 I don't think you'll rub with the Mazzi's and your Toyo's given the combo I was running before. Your combo will actually stick out the same distance as mine did with the 1/2" spacers. Even though your wheels will stick out 1" past where mine did, the tires are 1" further in on each side due to the overall width. I'd think you might have to trim a small piece of the corner off the valance if you haven't already but that's it.
