37 inch tires with 6" lift?

is it possible?

i'm sure with a little bit of trimming it may be, what do you guys think?

Sorry if this question has been asked before. i don't feel like searching as I'm using my PSP.

thanks for undrstanding!

should work, a few guys run 35s with only a leveling kit, might rub a little depending on the rim backspacing

37s will fit very nicely with 6". You can just about fit 35s stock...

You will be tighter than you think with the 37's on a six-inch lift. One guy on the f150online forum is running 37's with a 6-inch Fabtech lift, and he had to use dirt logic coilovers on the front and crank them up an extra 2" to keep from ripping the flares off. You will have to pay close attention to wheel backspacing, if you keep less backspacing (more like a stock wheel), you will have an easier time clearing. I am running 35's on my truck with just a leveling kit, but I don't have much backspacing and its a whole different story to just go up that extra 2" of tire diameter.

Here is a pic of his truck. His name is Josiah, and he is a regular on f150online and . Note how high the front is compared to the back. He actually has about 8 inches of lift in the front:

My truck is 6" lift and running 35's and I have plenty of room to go to 37's. Procomp even recommends 35's and I'm betting they were conservative. 37's should fit with ease

I've got 35's with a ton of clearance (also have 1/2 skyjacker poly spacer on mine). I watched a show a while back on Spike tv and they did a pro comp lift with 37's and were offroading it pretty hard with no problems so I think you'll be fine

I'll let you guys know for sure. I have an itch to find out for myself. Ford141, For the picture I just see a red X.

I don't offroad much, mainly just when I take the quad out, but sometimes sand is the pavement. I was thinking about getting the dirtlogics shocks anyway, so I'll have a little bit of room to play with.
