Default Lift Question

I'm going to be lifting my RAM here in the next couple months and just playing around with some ideas. Currently I want to get a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body. I'm going to buy new tires but keep my 20x10 Rockstars with a 4.56" backspacing. I was wondering with the 6" suspension and 3" body if I could comfortably fit 37x13.50R20 tires? If not, what are some other options I could do in order to fit some 37's?


-Thanks

With 9" of lift you can easily fit 37s, but you better be damn sure that the suspension lift chosen keeps the CV angle VERY CLOSE to stock or you will be either learning how to change CVs pretty quick or paying hefty labor costs for someone else to do it.

Although 6" of lift will fit 37s, IMO you need a minumum of 7" for decent articulation...

Sweet, thanks guys for the pictures and helpful information. I was looking at getting a 6" Pro Comp lift w/ Fox shocks and a 3" body lift not sure from which company yet though. I have one other question, are there any other ways to lift my truck equivalent to a 3" body that would also give me more clearance or is a body lift the cheapest and better way to go?

Do not get a ProComp. They are ****. Spend a few extra bucks and get the BDS.
