I like the combo. I was hoping to do a 4" suspension lift with 36" tires, but no one makes a AT tire in 36" (gota worry about ice and snow here). So i guess I'll have to get 37's, but will they rub with a 4" lift?

Yeah, they will rub. May not need to trim much at all if the rims are relatively narrow (like 8") and the tires run a little small for the size. But with a wide rim and a tire that measures close to the indicated size, plan for a lot of cutting or more lift.

I miss that truck so bad... :(

I've always been amazed that it hasn't popped up on a bulletin board but it hasn't. It was in Wyoming the last time I Carfaxed it.

Thanks

I drive this truck at least 3 times a week. it drives good for it size and i have always thought these was the best body styles.. I need to go up about 4 to 6more inches to clear the tires so i can put uncut fenders on it. Just not sure how to do it???

how high is it already? can you get higher lift springs?

can you put in add a leafs with already lifted springs?

e-z inch or zero rates would get you another inch, longer shackles might gain some, and then shackle flip front or rear if you don't already have them, body lift if you don't already have one of those.

By your name I'm guessing you know this, but the Fall Guy truck was 4" lift and 37" Dick Cepeks. Not that TV is reality, but...

I, personally would like to see a 3" kit with 35x12.5-15s on 15x8.5s (due to the fact that I can get a brand new 3" Rough Country spring lift with shocks and brakes for under $400. Logically, it should work as well as a 4"/37 setup.
