ok i am still wanting to lift my truck. i passed on a used 5in kit cause it was for a gasser. so now i am just gonna put 2 or 3 inches on it for now. my buddy has a set of 37x13.5x16 pro comp xterains i can get pretty cheap. does anyone have this setup? i know i will prob have to trim. i saw a guy on here with 39s and 2inches and that thing looked awsome but he did alot of trimming. and my buddy is running 38.5 stock on a 3500 and he did alot of trimming..i am just wandering how much i am gonna have to trim if any. I DO NOT WHEEL THE TRUCK..it is strictly a street truck..

 

Me personally I wouldn't do it......it's just not worth hacking up your truck to get bigger tires on there. My personal preference is to sit above the tires a little bit........gives a nice look and doesn't look like you stuffed the snot out of them. JMHO

I had a bud try to fit a set of 38" Super swampers on a stock 2500 with the back end jacked up and it still wouldnt fit. I would say 4 or 5 in lift is what you will have to get. I have a 5" and you can see how 35's fit. i am thoug going to switch to 38 when these wear out. Trimming is a bad option unless it is a trail rig. What if you have to sell the truck or have to go back to stock suspension, then your screwed. Lifts are cheap I say save up for a while and then go for a good lift

 

I'd be worried about the unit bearing hubs with a tire that big. Not doing any off roading will help them live but that is a lot of weight and leverage working against them.

Just my .02!

I know of a guy running 38 swampers with just a 3 inch body lift and triming the fenders.

 

Lift it at least 5 inches. Say no to stuffing.

 

have you considered a body lift and a 2" otherwise i dont know how its going to work but if you get it done post some pics so we can check it out.

 

na..no body lift........i really have no clue as to what i wanna do...just as quick as an idea gets into my head a new one pops up....
