I want to go bigger and need help
I want 37s on my truck. I know I need more lift. I do have a body lift, but I seen where top gun customz sells lift blocks and coils. However I do not know what else is needed for it.
The rim size will be a 16.5.

Trouble is, your half-ton axles won't really like 37's very much. You will go thru ball-joints, and various other parts MUCH sooner than you would like. If you really wanna go that big, you should look at a D60/70 swap.
Agreed on the Axels; and I've never really liked body lifts.. really do not do nothing for you.. You want really good clearence under your rig and a body lift is not going to offer you that.
Good news is on a 1500 you actually can with out doing tons of modifications like I would/will have to do to my Kota.

3" suspension + 3" body will let you fit 37s, but there could be rubbing issues especially offroad. Piecing together a 3" lift is basically just 3" coils, longer shocks, sway bar drop, and many things can be done for the rear; shackle flip w/ no factory block, AAL + taller blocks, etc. I don't think you even need new control arms for just a 3" lift... Going taller than this 3" lift is a bit more involved.
And yes, especially if you offroad you need 1 tons, and 4.88 gears, 8 lug rims.
and to jondakotaguy; only thing bad about body lifts is the extra stress they put on the suspension. Other than that, they allow for taller tires which means more ground clearance.

Body lift doesn't put any extra stress on the suspension in and of itself. May allow a bit more flexibility on the frame.. What a body lift does NOT give you, is more room for suspension travel. Depending on the type of off-roading you do, that may, or may not, be an issue.
