Question Will 37x13.5x20 fit with my Setup?? Any Advice PLEASE??

I have an 05 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 6" Fabtech lift. I was wondering If 37's would fit with my setup. I just bought some new 20" MB Gunner 5 Rims with a -25 offset. If the tires wouldnt fit, Will they fit with a 2" or 3" blocks in the rear and torsion keys in the front added to my 6" lift. I honestly dont have the finances to spend $1000 on a body lift and install. I work all week and dont have the time to install myself. Any help would be grately appreciated. Thanks

good advice is dont put 37's on a half ton IFS truck. seriously, 35s is about all u wanna go. search this forum, you'll see what im talkin about.

A torsion bar IFS Fabtech lift nets about 5.5" max, despite the fact it's called a 6" kit, so not without some major trimming. Level keys cannot be used in conjunction with suspension lifts and it's not recommended AT ALL to use blocks larger than the 4" ones supplied with a 6" lift kit or multiple block setups, that's just dangerous!

Your CV angle is will such that it will be prone to breakage with tires over 35". Even a 4" suspension lift in conjunction with a 3" body lift (the strongest setup that allows for 37's) can have issues with tires of that size, another added burden is the extremely heavy 20" wheels.
