Tire height I believe will work. You may be worried more about how wide at that point. I run an 8" lift with 38x15.5s and I had to cut and trim. At that point they still rub the springs. My old 36x14.5s also rubbed the springs.

when I got mine the 6" lift was 1800. At first I was going to attempt it but after talking to the place I got it from, They quoted 2200 out the door..I couldn't resist.

BDS is the way to go just for the warantee. If your riding on 3:73 gears and you pull you may want to think about gears. There's gonna be a huge difference. If you've got 4:10s I'd roll with it. Also a tire that big is going to throw your speedo off which will throw the way your Trans shifts.


Joey it seems like you and I are always the first responders when it come to lift questions.
