lift kits

Anybody got pics with 6" lift and 37x12.50x17 so I can see the look before I buy the wheels & tires? Seen plenty with 35's want to compare.

I Have a 7" lift by Icon(all leaf,no blocks) I'm running 37's goodyears which measure a little short but gives you an idea.

Ray, how is the ride quality on that kit? Also, does the rear stock block get eliminated? Does this kit keep the factory rake? When you get the time can you measure front and rear from center of the hubs to the bottom of the fenders. I'm looking to go from my 5inch kit to a 7inch. The Icon system seams to be complete.
Thanks, Michael

It was installed by the PO. I'm pretty sure its a 7" lift(that's what the PO told me). The one thing i found out recently is it flexes like crazy for being all leaf suspension. Take a close look at the rear axle.

Cops around here Up in Keizer Oregon would be on you quick. Had an 76 F150 with 39" swampers and pulled over for no mud flaps. I would love to do something like that
