2.5" level and 3" body

Anyone running a 2.5" level and a 3" body?

What size tires are you running?

Only asking because if my simple math adds up correctly then I can imagine several of you are rolling around with this lift combo and 37" tires. My reasoning behind this comes from being able to run 35" with the level and adding 3 more inches of lift should allow a 2" larger tire, especially if you were to be using a wheel with similar dimentions to stock?

Just askin guys, anyone doin this?

Thanks,
SouthernStyle

I think the members running that combo are using 35's. That only adds up to 5.5 inches of total lift. Most members with 6 inch lifts are running 35's also or adding leveling kits to fit 37's.
You could probably fit a 37x12.50 by using the oem wheels, but they would rub the frame pretty bad at full steering lock.

That with a full suspension lift will be a pretty high truck!

thanks man, yes and no to the 37's

yes being they would look sick and fill my wheel wells perfectly
and
no being i couldnt afford to regear for awhile, but thats not the major issue.
i m am lookin into new wheels with less backspacing, so they would stick out more. and pretty sure 37's wouldnt work out to well in that case

in conculsion (lol)

IMHO i think i could of gotten away with a 37/12.5, no wider though. my 35/12.5s rub on the control arm at full turn
