i work at a dealership as a mechanic. that trucks front end won't support 38" tire. the 6" lift kit is already putting a strain on it. we replace broken CV shafts all the time on lifted 1500 trucks. keep it where its at it looks good.
If I could afford 38s on mine I would do it.....problem is for me is they are so damn expensive.
You don't have CVs to worry about. You'll wear out components a lot faster for sure, but odds of a catastrophic failure that would leave your truck on a flatbed are greatly reduced...
My old 2wd had a 6" lift on 35's, never had any problem. Was going to do a 3" BL and 38's but never got around to it before selling it. This truck I am going to be a little more mild with. A/T 33's on some nice 17's and I'm done.
