How to fit 37's

Other than an 8in rize what options do i have to fitting 37's on a 04+ f150? For instance 6 inch suspension with a body lift (dont care for the body lift) vs 6in susp. with some type of leveling kit. Jw whats the best setup to achieve the 37in tire. In the process of selling my 4x4 ranger on 33's and its time for me to step up to the big boy trucks!!! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

here's another option you may not have considered: get a 6'' kit, and some high clearance fiberglass fenders. that way your truck won't look cut to hell to fit 37's, and you won't have bad cv/ball joint angles from the additional preload on the coilovers.

aight cool....i kinda would like the idea of just buying the 8in rize but thats some serious $ right there right? I mean isnt the front like almost 3000 alone? how much would the back rize be? And if i can get the same benefits with coilovers and a 6in susp and save a lil money, which i guess coilovers aint cheap either, then id rather do that...but i dunno im up for suggestions!

I want to fit 37x13.50x22s on my 07 harley truck but with only a leveling kit and body lift. Does anyone know of some pics with this setup? I at least want to see the what the lift looks like.
