Thinking of lifting a 08 Megacab

My family wants me to lift my 08 megacab about 4" to run 37" tires. What lift did you install, any problems, like or dislikes, driveshafts were ok or did you have to replace them, brake lines?? Thanks guys!

4" will clear 37s but not easily. Someone on here has 37s with only a leveling kit. You have to maintain the proper backspacing with your wheel choice and may have to trim the fender well a bit. My opinion would be 4" and stick with 35s or if you really want 37s just go with a 6" lift. It can be done though - just a little more work...

Hmm 4.5" clears 37's very easily. No trimming, no rubbing. Just get the right wheels.

Looks good, but what brand lift are you running?

Like Boz said, its all about your wheels/backspacing...

Stock wheels/H2s and other aftermarket wheels with close specs fit just fine...

I am going to get the Rize Industries 8" lift on my MegaCab so that I will be able to run 22x11 KMC Diesels and 37x13.50x22 Toyo M/T's. If you go to www.rizeind.com you'll see what it looks like on a 2007 MegaCab. SWEEEEEET! Good luck with your project!!!
