I’m wondering if a 6 inch rough country lift will clear a 37-13.50 on a 15x10 wheel?

8 inch would be optimal for a 37 but wheel offset will matter too. Military wheels or HMMV wheels have the wrong offest. You could have them worked over and they make it otherwise no U turns without trimming. it's not cheap to have them recenteded so I've been told. Also depends on how aggresive you want to be. You may get it to work for a street princess but get out in sticks and getting a little rough they'll hit occasionally.

Eh, I dunno. That's more like a truck pulling up on 44's.
I'd have to agree, gonna need a lift kit though nontheless or they're gonna rub for sure.

I like it, but do they make nobbies/tread like that for the rear like they do on the new semi's where it's one tire? If they do, I'll be looking at dually crew cabs more. they are often cheaper than non-dually.

You mean a super single? You gotta go big for that, with a 22.5 rim. They are heavy truck/implement tires, nothing that I know of specifically for use on a pickup.

Pretty sure the tires are underinflated quite a bit too. Haven't been driving her much lately.

for a tire that wide on a 8" rim it is very easy to over inflate them and then the tire just rides on the center of the tread.
You can take some chalk and draw a line across the tread and then drive straight for 50'
or so on pavement then get out and look to see how the chalk is wearing off. Then adjust the tire pressure accordingly.
The shop filled my tires to 70 psi after mounting them. It would rub off in the center and not at all at the edges. Think I'm down to 35 psi now.
