37" tire question???

I've got an '07 f250 diesel crew I just ordered a set of 37/12.50/R18's the question is, what size lift do I need 4" or 6" I'm looking at the rough country lifts. Also can I run my stock rims?? I don't know the factory width. I don't really want to go too high but I realize I need some clearance to allow these tires not to rub.
Thanks

my father in law put a 2" lift on his '07 SD and 35" tires and the company he bought the lift from said he could fit 37s

With the Rough Country lift you can get a 37 on our 6 inch kit but the only problem with a stock wheel is you may have a chance of rubbing since the stock wheel doesnt have the required backspacing.

alot more about what stuff? what is it you dont know alot about? sounds to me like you need to do some reading on your truck if you dont even know the stock width... thats on the door sticker!

lol cuttin the fenders is sound advice to me... it'd make those new SD's look a lot better! hell i'm running 37's with no lift and Pacer wheels (which are 16x10's)

good grief... what more advice could you need. GO BUY YOU A 6" LIFT KIT, like EVERYONE else in the world does! woo hoo, now you can cruise the mall! hey are you getting a superchips tuner for that thing? wicked!

see ya in the parking lot at the trail head

That song is on the radio now as I read this post. Talk about coincidence!!


To the original poster,

You may as well get the biggest lift you can get first thing. Most of us have started out with 3", then 6", then 18" with a few in between. Do yourself a favor and go with the most lift you can right off the bat as to save yourself some grief later on. 37s will fit with 4" on a new SD. However, 6" would look better (IMO).
