FINALLY got my 37s on

i will post pics later tonight finally got my 37/13.5/17 toyo mts on 6in suspension 2" aal, 2.5 AS.....now i love the look and everything about it but i have a rub at full lock....now the question is if i did bilstiens and cranked them would it give me lil bit more lift in the front than the leveling kit and 6in procomp spacer? if not i can live with the rub but if bilstiens will lift it a lil higher i will go with them...thx for the input will post pics later

Do you mean combine the 6 inch lift, 2.5 inch leveling kit and Bilstiens? No, you can't do that. Also the Bilstiens only go up to 2 inches. So if you remove the AS 2.5 inch leveling kit and install Bilstiens you will lose 0.5 inches of height.

you can always loose the procomp spacer and get coilovers and crank them.

Alot of guys are running the 6" SL with coilovers cranked and not rubbing at all.. But yes, you could get the new coilovers(from fabtech, procomp, etc) and add a Leveling kit ontop of that, but you would be sitting higher in the front then in the rear, you would need an AAL to level it out

Mote, you are horrible when it comes to posting up pics. We're still waiting for your light bar pics in another thread too.

Didn't you ever here the most important rule on this site? Pics or it didn't happen.

You can do that but you'll be doing yourself no good if you're wanting to achieve more height since the Bilsteins on the 6" setting with your leveling kit on top will be the same height as what you already have. As for adding more lift you are already at the max right now unless you install a body lift or a bigger suspension lift. Right now you are 2 1/2" above what the suspension lift is designed for which is basically the same as having a 2 1/2" leveling kit on a stock height truck.
