Cool wanting to go up

I have a 05 hemi qcsb 4x4. What im wanting to do is get a 4-6" suspension lift and a 3" body. I think that that 35s would look a little 2 small and really like the look of the 37s. All i have read about is how bad of an idea it is to run bigger than a 35 on a IFS. The most offroading I do in this truck is when im in slow moving traffic or a side road during snow season just to keep moving. I may use 4x4 in this truck id say twice a year. Does anyone have pics of their truck with the suspension and body lifts with either 35s or 37s?

well look below in my sig mine has 6" suspension lift with 35's. if you want to go up 3" more with a body lift deff go with 37" tires, problem is it will be tough on the truck and all moving parts. I would think about gears as a must if you go with 37's. Think about upgrading your brakes as those will wear down faster too. I have cross drilled and slotted about to go on mine this weekend. Just be prepared for wheel bearings, ball joints, and other things of this nature to go out faster.

ya i figure if i decide i want to go up more i'll do it later when i need some new tires. For now it's a good excuse to spend money on other things.

I have had 36s on my truck for some time now and have no issues. I think it can be done. Ive got a total of 12" of lift. If 37s are what you want then get them now and not 35s and 37s later. Thats just going to cost more money.
