i think if you find a wheel 9" wide wheel with around 5" of backspacing and a 12.5" width A/T tire you will have minimal rubbing

Ive never seen it done, the only way I could of think of it being done would all depend on the tires and backspace on the rims, usually people that run 37's have at least 8" of lift. I know eff one fitty had 37's on 6" lift and he rubbed.

I'd stick with 35's. I think they would look a lot better.

I've got a 3" body lift but I also had to add 7" of suspension lift to clear my 37's. I also leveled it. I wouldn't change a thing.

Are you sure I could of sworn he only had 6" of lift, cause I know he ran that for a few months then got the fabtech coilovers and cranked them, I may be wrong though

i have been wanting to do a 3" body and 37's for almost a year now. i know it will look awesome and with the right wheel it will even fit perfectly. I'm just short in the wallet and haven't been able to do this yet, but i will.

go ahead and do it and give me another reason to hurry up and do it to mine.

If there's a will, there's a way. There's a guy, I'm not sure if he's on this forum or not, that has an expy on 37's with something like 4" of lift. He had to do a lot of cutting to make it all fit though. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it's your truck.

That would suck the tires in towards the truck to be a b o u t flush with the body, wouldn't it? I prefer the tires a bit further out there with more lift but your proposal doesn't sound that far off.

37's on 4" of lift? Sheesh. I'd want to see pictures.

As far as the OP goes, I'm with wandell.

yeah they only way to fit them w/o alot of trimming would be with a wheel with higher backspacing.

personally i would stick with 35's also
