Default 6 inch lift and 37's?

would i be able to fit 37's under my truck with my 6 inch lift? if so, how much offset is nessecary? i have 35's now and it doesnt look like i can go any bigger without them rubbing the body with the wheels i have now

i'm just thinking that i can get 2 inch coils for the front to make it level with the rear, and find some control arms somewhere to help center the axle up and should be good for 37's

I had a wheeling bud that had 36 inch TSLs with a trailmaster 4 inch lift, but he was running 8 inch rims with 4.5 or more backspacing. Wheel offset is crucial due to scrub radius...as you've descovered.

yes. my wheels stick out a good 2 or so inches.. and 35's almost rub with a 6 inch lift.. but maybe if i get wheels without so much of a offest.. probally closer to stock.. i can run 37's

stock 3.55's still.. and with 35's it still has some pick-up. going to 37's though im looking at maybe 4.56's.. but maybe just 4.10's so i can keep my mpg up on the highway

I have a 3" body lift with 35" tires and they fit no problem. I was wondering though does anyone no what excatly you can do to a 5.9L 1500 to really give it power and torque without supercharger or turbo?
