Can't believe no one has said it yet, but you're gonna need more then a 6" lift for 37's, especially since you a 4x2

That might be the best idea

4x2's are 2" lower than 4x4's so with what your adding to your truck on a 4x4 thats equivalent to a 6" lift. On 4x4's you need at least 8 in. to fit 37's with minor rubbing so to match that with you would need a 10" lift.

It'll still look awesome with some 35's.

you could always stack a body lift on top of the suspension lift to run 37s. They're pretty cheap.

edit: but I wouldn't go with that big of a tire unless you plan on regearing soon.

I have a 4x2 , with the lift I have I should be able to fit 36`s with some minor or no cutting. 37`s may be pushing it.
Your ? to the thread is 81.5" high

Check this out -2005 Ford F-150 2WD - 6" ProComp Suspension Lift, 3" PA Body Lift, Fabtech DL Coilovers Cranked, Total Chaos Uni-Ball UCA's, Fabtech 5" Blocks w/ 1" Shims, Fabtech DL Rear Resevoirs, 20x10 Incubus Recoils, 36x13.50 Super Swamper Iroks

Some may argue this point, but no matter what size you do 35 or 37, i strongly recommend a re gear. You will be stressing the transmission a bit more along with you a decrease in gas mileage. Having a re gear wont "gain" power but it will put the RPM in a "stock" or above Stock" configure to allow for proper shifting of the transmission.

And if in fact you do have 3.55 and want a 35 id go with a 4.56, even with a 37 you can get away with a 4.56. But if you want to go aggressive 4.88 would be the trick to that!!
