6 inch lift compatible with 5.43 inch bs wheels

I have 17x8 wheels with 5.43 inches backspacing. Are any of the six inch kits compatible with the wheels I currently have? My end goal is to fit 37s on just the six inch kit without stacking a leveling kit. I realize most kits require 4.5 to 5 inches bs, but seeing if anyone knows of a kit that I could use current wheels with. Worse case scenario would be to get new wheels or spacers. Truck is 06 supercrew 4wd. Thanks.

My advice would be track down a 4" rancho (now discontinued) and bump it to 6".

I have seen a KR w/ stock 20's w/ a 6" fabtech tho, not sure if he ran spacers.

Have heard of another guy that runs bds six with 5.5 inch bs wheels. Also saw some half inch spacers today that don't seem like they would be too hard on the suspension. Thanks for the suggestion.

what year was his truck? i know the 09+ trucks can, not sure if the 04-08's are able to tho.

the issue w/ 1/2" spacers are they go over the lugs and do not lengthen the lugs. BAD idea to go that route.

I would buy new wheels before running wheel spacers on a 1/2 ton truck if it was mine.
