If wanting to go with a strut spacer lift, you can't go wrong with ReadyLift. While not the cheapest, their products are phenomenal in both fit and finish.
I really appreciate the input here. I'm definitely going to look at some wheels still in production. How high does your truck sit from ground to running boards?

I guess my ultimate goal will be to go with the 6" BDS coilovers and squeeze 37s in with minimal alterations as long as the crashbar isn't involved. Some more wheel research needed here.

Im running the 7" Readylift. I love it. You can easily clear 37's with the kit. Im going to get some after my 35's wear out. You can also get Fox coilovers with the kit if you dont want to run thre strut spacer.

DVS, in your opinion would 37x12.5 work without altering the crash bars?

Secondly, what size rear block do you have on?

And lastly, how high does your truck sit from the ground?

Thanks in advance for the input

It is 21" from ground to bottom of running board.
~24" ground to bottom of truck.

I pickup my truck tomorrow. Went with a 6" BDS lift with 37x12.5x20 on 20x9 wheels with a 0* offset.

I will let you know how everything works out and what needs to be trimmed if any. I did not go with the coils for now, I will be going coils and add a leaf in the rear in a few months to gain some more height.
