Who's running 37's?
If your running 37's,what lift do you have?
What do you like or don't like about your lift?
Would you change anything if you can?
I do know that I would like to run 37x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers
I'm currently looking at Rough Country 6" F250 kit or BDS 6"
The last thing I want to do is buy the wrong stuff and not like the end results
What would you do?? You expert opinions are greatly appreciated

At first I was running a BDS 8" all leaf kit with 37's. I only had alittle rubbing on the front end at full lockout.
The lift was all in all good to go! No probs.
Around the time I added the Road Armor bumper I installed a 2.5" front shackle kit...and added a 5.5" block to the rear.
So I guess as we speak I have a 10.5" lift with plenty of wheel travel. When it's time for new tires I will be moving up to Nitto Mud 38's or 40's.

Where in NJ are u?
Yeah I went with the Ex lift.....but I should have went with the 10" the 1st time around. I would have saved time and money.
Also, the rear driveshaft has to be lengthened. ( serious vibration if u dont ) The front was good to go. When I moved up to 10" I needed a longer one.
Keep us posted and take alot of pics of the build!

Thanks again for the great info and your service to this great country

I used a shop called Mr. Driveshaft in Wall Township. I think it was around $300 with new Spicer u-joints out the door painted, ready to install.
I'll see if I could find a link for ya.

Thanks for the info Arch, your X looks great. I really like the black wheels on the truck. If you did the lift again would you have gone with the 8" lift?
