Did my lift, now I need opinions on tires
So I did my 3'' spindle and 2'' coil spacer lift over the weekend along with my 3'' shackle lift.
My current tires are 305/40/22s which are 31.7 OD. Obviously Im looking for some bigger tires now. Im sure I can handle 35s but Im looking at some Pirellis that are 36. And while were talking about moving up, can I do 37s? And I am assuming 325s wont scrubs since every 35'' I see is 325, right?

BTW, what is IFS?
That's a good price the $1100 shipped. 325 is a wide tire and unless you have 4.5" backspacing, i think you'll need some bumper trimming??? If i remember correctly, they may scrub on the lower plastic valence piece. Not really a big deal at all.
On a side note I found this chart.
[EDIT] I called the manufacture and they said the offset is +19 and backspace of 5.4''

We need pictures!! Haha.
On-topic, I think 37's will be too large and will look stuffed/cause problems for your IFS. 35's will look great and still have some articulation left in 'em. 36's are the biggest I'd personally go on IFS.

I would go with 36", but you can do 37", but its iffy with your IFS (Independent Front Suspension).
I don't think 37" will look stuffed if you have 6" of lift, especially with our trucks how they are lifted higher already.
Anything more than 37" you will need a Solid Axle (For a side note).

Here are the pics.
Im at about 38 1/2'' on the front now and 40'' on the rear. Thats not ''level'' like I wanted but close enough. The tires I have now are 305/40/22s but next week if all goes right I will have some 325/55/22s.
