37's on 2010 with 6" lift?

I don't think I'm going to be able to sell the truck so it's time to go bigger.

Is it possible to run 37x13.5x18 Mud Grapplers on a 2010 with a 6" Rough Country. Wheel specs are 18x9, 5.98 Backspacing and +25mm offset. Nitto's site says they are 37.05x14.5 which I imagine is around 36-36.5" mounted on the truck. I'd actually be more concerned about the width due to the offset of my wheels.

What do you guys think? If I can't do it with just the lift I'm going to go with 5100's and bump the front end just enough to make them fit. Also yes I'll be going with 4:56's and a programmer if I step up in size. Truck is parked most of the time now since I have a take home car for work.

Currently running Nitto Trail Grapplers, 295/70/18's and have PLENTY of room.

Also if the wheels are my issue can I run a spacer as opposed to getting new wheels? I have yet to see another truck with these so i'd prefer to stay with them.

37s will not fit, you need at least 8" and even then its still a tight fit

If your really wanting to fit those 37's you could do a 2" body lift, not too expensive. I'll post a pic tomorrow whenever I get my 37's. Currently running a procomp 8" lift, have 35's right now, way too small haha.

I would bet you could fit 37x12.50's with minor trimming. Not sure about a 13.50 inch wide tire. You could add a 2 inch leveling kit to you lift or a 3 inch body lift. No one makes a 2 inch body lift for your truck that I know of.

Im on my phone so excuse the mess of this post.

Taking a closer look I believe width will be my ultimate enemy since I only have roughly an inch clearance between the knuckle and tire.

Im not opposed to heavy trimming as long as im not taking off external sheetmetal. I don't hate the idea of a body lift but im not a huge fan either. Id love to add the 2" leveling kit I have laying around but rcx uses a spacer to achieve the front lift. I've been searching for 36x12.5's but can't find any. 35's are too small and 37's might be too big.

I know its been covered a thousand times but I can't seem to find the answer through searching. Since my truck doesn't see any hard wheeling why can't I stack the leveling kit?

Im sure 37x12.50 would fit theres a few at the dealership near me and they fit them on a 6" lift but they trim a bit. With that wide of tire it may rub a lot, you may be able to get away with a leveling kit stacked onto the lift...

They put them on a truck here in kc that a shop sent to world of wheels this year. It was a white f150, new one, 6"procomp and 37.12.5.20s they hacked some metal on the inner fender and some plastic on the front. There is another guy on here that is doing this already. he has a black truck and says hes fine until he loads the bed down...might check into that

As stated above the 37x12.5's will fit with some trimming. Theres a guy around here running them on his with a 6" Zone lift. I personally wouldn't run a 37x12.5 tire b/c it looks to tall and skinny when looking at it from front or rear. I think the truck looks perfect as is. I'd stick with the 35's. Just my Opinion though.

Since your kit uses a spacer, just add some Bilstien coilover shocks and adjust the preload for 2 inches of lift.

How much are the bilstien set ups running? To keep it level ill need to bump the rear 2" too. Do the bilstiens have an adjustable rear shock or should I look towards an aal/lift shackle?
