You're not going to fit 37's with just a 6", if you did, you'd have to do a lot of cutting. Second, there is no 6" lift for a 4x2 for that body style. Fabtech makes a 7.5" lift which is the equivalent to a 6" for a 4x4. I'm selling everything you would need to run that tire setup if you're interested. I was going to do the same thing with my old 4x2, only it was going to be 38x14.5x16 Toyos, but that truck was totaled by a retard with a civic and I lucked out and insurance paid for a better truck.

edit: I fail at reading comprehension, I thought you had a 4x2, disregard this post.

Expect to pay about 1400 for rear and front gears, that's what I was quoted at for a few different shops around here. Honestly, I'd rather just get them both done at the same time, it'll probably save you some money, and I'd rather not risk accidently throwing it into 4x4 and screwing your truck up.

Actually 4.10's would be good for that size tire but if you want more torque go with 4.56's. I ran 33's and 4.56's for about a year and I loved how it felt.

4.88's is to much for 33's IMO.

What about with 35's? Would 4.56's be about right?

if you can find a place that is reputable and cheaper, please let me know. I would love to find a cheaper place. I looked at dealerships and they wanted 1500 for just the install. I tried a few speed shops around town and they didnt want anything to do with it.

I just put MT Baja ATZ's 33x13.50's on my truck yesterday, would 4.10's be the way to go for the best gas mileage?

well what i've been doing lately is buying my s h i t online and getting either 4wheelparts or someone else to do the install. you save around 200-300 dollars just by buying them online and getting someone to install em'.or if you know how to do it then you can save more. but if ur like me who is car challenged then you have to suffer and pay someone to install s h i t. lol
