Hopefully, they did a better job on the newer kit or you are going to have problems with that big of a tire unless your are a total pavement queen. I know a few guys with '02-'05 4x4 Rams who are going through CVs as well as other front end components on a fairly regular basis with 35" and smaller tires.


Also, IMO you are really gonna wanna regear...
whys it hard on the cv's, I have the fabtech kit on my 02 IFS, and my cv angle didnt change. My Kit came with a front diff drop brackets. I didnt notice any change in the angle from before and after the kit was installed,(put the lift on myself, so i knew what the angle looked like before too) idk maybe some people dont get the front diff drop bracket then.

The honest reason is because most people try to crank 7 or more inches out of a 6 inch kit lol.

Truck will be fine. I basically have a 5 1/2" suspension and 3" body, but the 5 1/2" is my 4" Rough country suspension with cranked keys and 3 1/2" blocks.

The 37's will look sick.
I got 38's with 3.92 gears also programmed(5.7 hemi), and it can still outrun many cars and trucks.

Might as well get the 37's, because once you get 35's you will want bigger in a few months, thats what happened to me, and I bought the 38's with 20's last year and its sick looking.

If it rubs you will want to maybe add a tiny bit more lift because thats what I had to do when I had the 4" suspension and 3" body, because it scruffed the hell out of my tires.
