Give me your thoughts on this… I’m talking about a 4x4 below, not 4x2.

A lot of people have (or had) leveling kits on their trucks, I did. We all know how they can cause the ball-joints to wear faster then normal, also the cv axles angle more and wear. So my question is I’m trying to decide if I want to add my 2.5” AS back on top of my 6” lift. The main reason is so I can clear 37’s. Sure I know the cons, but do you think (or maybe even know) is it more (un)-safe to do this on top of a 6” lift? If so give me some facts of why… What the difference in running just a leveling kit and running a leveling kit on top of a lift?

I’m seeing a lot of 6” and 8” lifts on here with a leveling kit added. So let me hear what you think…

 

to tell u the truth you should be able to put 37's on there with no problem. on my 02 f150 i have 315/70/17s. i had to cut some pieces out. i know this doesn't help you much. but my dad has an 06 f150 and has a leveling kit put on it and he is able to put 35's on it. but he already had 315/70/17s ordered for it. so you should be able to put 37's on their with no problem. i will be posting pics of my dads truck soon

 

If you're not worried about having to change control arms than go for it. Do the 2" spacer though.

 

The 37s should fit with minor adjustment - I have a 6" SkyJacker with 37/13.5/18 Mickey Thompson FCIIs on 18x9 DC-1 wheels. Had to trim the lower dam on the bumper and the body seam at the back of the wheel well.

Most 6" lifts level the truck (they are really 6/4 lifts, not 6" lifts), so a levelling kit will make her a tail dragger. Not to mention it probably voids your lift warranty. If you need an extra 2 or 3", I would suggest either an 8" lift or the 6 and a body lift.
