4 inch lift
So was talking with SoCalSuperDuty03 today and figured out that I have a 4 inch lift instead of just a leveling kit so if I wanted I could fit 37's. So if I wanted I could get them military tires I want and not worry about clearance.
What size tires do u have on your 4 inch lift???

Some 37" tires that have aggressive blocks will hit any way. To clear a 37" Military style tire without some kind of fender modification you will need an 8" spring.
If you read back through what I said, 315/75/16 (or 315/70/17 if you have a 17" wheel) is the largest tire you can run on that truck with a 4" spring.
Remember what I said about those tires too.... they are noisy, you can't balance them effectively even with a balance bag, they wear like crap, and they handle like crap on pavement, especially wet.
There is a reason those tires are $100 a pop.

If you live in a hot, dry climate like Phx. Or Tucson, where it does not rain than consider those tires, I have run them for years but I keep it parked if it's wet as the compound is VERY HARD and it wears poorly! Around 10k is the best I've ever gotten! Also keep in mind they have no DOT approval and are labeled FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY ^so you can be red tagged just for rolling with them, I never have had a officer take a second look but I have always been nervous!

Ruben you must have misunderstood what I was saying.... You need a minimum of 6" to clear a 37" tire, and that is only if you use a quality spring.
