Glad you got your exhaust fixed, wouldn't want you breathing to much burnt rice fumes.. Now get busy spending that money and fixing up your truck.

They should clear the fenders but you will need to trim or shim out the bumper. Maybe a 6" lift instead of the 4" you have. You will loose some turning radius because of the tires hitting the springs.

i know, i can't wait to see yall again...need the axles first though! i want my 4wd back even more than i want stacks
BUT even before that, i have get this fuel leak figured out so i can even get up there. as she is right now, i won't even take her on the highway at all. my to-do list is growing exponentially!

i would love to put another few inches on her. that'll be somewhere down the road though. ill probably just stick with 35s for now, even though the 37s my friend has are a killer deal, and he says they run small

but i'm kinda worried about the saggy part of the bumper clearing 35s that actually have a decent amount of tread...

Sounds like you need to get the fuel leak taken care of, or the new tires wont get you far. =)

There is a 350 here at work and he runs 37's on stock suspension. He said he just had to shim the bumper a bit. The 350's are a bit higher so if you have a lift you should be fine. He has wagon wheel style wheels too.
