I would say 37 bfg or toyo because looking for 38's might be a little more tough. 37's might be more common and variety. Just a thought because i have a 6in lift with 315/70/17 BFG's right now and I love them.

38s for sure...It will be the perfect size for 9 inches of lift.

if it was my truck, i would just get bilsteins up front and set them at 2 inches. alot of guys are running this setup, your truck's too nice to put a body lift on, when you can get enough clearance to run 37's with just shocks. tonkatruck33, fomoco (something like that) i would go this way, if it was me

what gears do you have bones?
this is tonkatruck33's truck with a 6 inch pro comp and bilsteins set at 2 inches 37x13.50-20

texanaviator's truck he's got 10 inches total lift, so minus an inch and he's on 38x15.50-20

fx4reaction's old truck 10 inches lift, 38x15.50-20's

personally for the price difference in 37's to 38's i would stick with the 37's

I think TexanAviator's truck is one of the classiest lifted trucks on this site.

i thought there was a bigger difference, bought 20 bucks a tire more . toyo makes 2 tires in 38's--38x13.50-20 and 38x15.50-20.

38's, because it rolls off the tongue better, and I love my 38s
