superlift and tire questions.

Im currently looking at superlifts lift kits right now( yes i know thuren,carli are better)
I am looking at running some 37's in nittos mud grappler or toyo mts. I cant decide wether to get a 4 or 6 inch lift.

Is anyone on this site or another site running 37's with the 4 inch kit? Also i would like to keep the wheels i have but i think the backspacing will cause rubbing issues also. They are xd boss hoss 5.7 backspaing. If nothing else i will go with the 6 inch but i love the 4 inch also.

Someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would definitely get the 6" if those are the tires you want to run. They are on the wide side. It is also going to depend on what rims you go with. If the looks are the only thing you are reeally worried about with a little bit of off road, then Superlift isn't bad at all.

mudder, what width are your wheels? I run the Superlift 6", 37's, on 9" wheels w/5" BS and don't rub anything except for brushing my mudflap when I turn.

I used to tow on a 6 inch lift with 20s and 37s. i will guarantee you wont be pulling a gooseneck.. I couldnt even get close. I pulled my 30ft work trailer all day long..

I measured mine this morning - 62" to top of tailgate. Around here there are a lot of lifted trucks pulling goosenecks, but most are flatdeck style not holiday trailers, and usually have a high neck on them. Bumper pull, like Luvnacumns said is no problem just run a drop hitch. Also, about a month ago there was someone on here with a black truck (I know that helps alot) that had a 4" on 37's and it looked good. Might want to search around a bit he had a few good pics of it.

I have the exact setup of wheels and lift u are talkin bout. I have 35x13.5's and I think i could deffinatly fit 37x12.5's fine, but 37x13.5's might rub.
