it all depends on who makes the kit and what will make someone go more towards their kit. all about marketing and how you sell yourself. both kits can clear 37", but superlift recommends 35"s.

it wouldn't try to put 37" with a 4" lift unless i had a 2" body lift, and if that was the case, mine as well go for the 6" lift.

You could easily clear 37's with the 4"

and the gas that they guzzle... 35's is bad enough I couldn't manage 37's. The guy I bought my lift off of went with a 6" and 37's and said its unbelievably bad.

i agree completely.. just really pay attention to the backspacing of the rims you put on ..the new steering knuckles are big and beefy.. i was impressed

Did you have to put wheel spacers in the front to fit the 35's?

something else to consider are the bilstein 5100 adjusting shocks I got them put on mine after having a ready lift really nice lifts the truck about 2.5 inches not alot but will clear a 35 with no problem and the ride hard to believe but better than stock i also added a pair of bms upper a arms tok the idea from a magazine and it wont effect warranty and you get alot more travel than a standard lift kit i like to go fast and the idea is to have a svt raptor killer eventually
