you'll need at LEAST a 6" to clear 37's. with only a 10" wide wheel you'll really need to only run a 6" lift, an 8" for tire clearance on angles and such ( turning into an angled driveway and such with 6 and 37's will rub ).

Agreed. An 8" lift would be better, but even with a 8" Rize I can sometimes rub my 37's on the fender liner when the suspension compresses and I'm turning (wheels are 22x12.25)

depending on what suspension he's working with it's a little different....the leaf sprung trucks sit a little higher from the factory so an 8" lift ( as wierd as this sounds ) will actually sit a little higher than a coil sprung truck with an 8" lift.....wierd I know but it's true.

EDIT: I just saw he had an 06, if you want no rubbing what so ever I would go a little more than 8" and beef up your trans, delete the EGR, head studs, get some tunes, injectors, trans, gears ( 4.56's ) and you'll be pretty damn near back in business and you'll have alot more to brag about and back it up.

OH NOOOOOO!!!!LOL , I am really a newbie. there are a couple of great shops in jacksonville, american bedliners and FCDP. i have been trying to get up with FCDP but they are pretty busy so AB will handle the lift. Naw, I told one of my lighter brothers," the difference will be that i have armor-all on my tires instead of mud":pointlaugh:
