Who has 38s with 6 inch lift? Pictures?

Hi, I 'm looking for pictures of 38 15.5 20 tires with a six inch lift. Will I have tire clearance issues with this setup? What do you guys think of this combo overall? What kind of fuel mileage do you see on average? Any help would be very nice.

does not look like your getting many responses.

I have 37s with a 3" front and not much in the rear.



The 15.5 tires will be a real pain on these trucks. They will rub on everything. you may need more lift to fit that width.

Finding 20s with the proper backspacing will also be a pain. Not many out there. But it can be done.

I would be interested to see what you come up with.

Nice truck Keyser. I have been wanting to do a build for 38 x 14.5 tires, but figured I would need to stack a body lift on the 6" to clear them. I am anxious to see how this works out for you. By the way what lift are you running?

in all honesty though I don't think you biggest problem will the 38" diameter. it will be the 15.5 width and the offset of the rim you choose. I have 13.5 wide and 9.5 rims. I can't remeber the offset off the top of my head. the wider you run you will create some different issues. I mean if you ran 38's 12.50's on 8" rims on the stock offset I don't think you would have any rubbing issues. 38 15.5 on 10" rims may create some rubbing hear and there.
