Default Fabtech 6" Lift with 37's

Hey all,
I'm looking at buying a 6" lift for my 08 F150 and I'm trying to decide between 35s and 37s. I really would not do much offroading, its my daily driver. I'm not really interested in re-gearing either because it seems like 50% say do it and 50% say you don't need to. Just wondering if 37s would fit and look good. Pictures would be great if you've done it!

My offset is -12 with 4.5 backspacing btw.

I am not 100% sure if 37's will clear, but will most likely need to consider a new gear set with that tall of a tire.

you will need to regear with 37's and 35's... you will have some ****ty mpg with 35's and with 37's thats alot of stress and high RPMS.. go with 4.88 gears


you can clear 37's with 6 inch lift with bilstein 4-6'' shocks and add a 2 inch block for 8 inch lift

Thanks for the input guys.
How much would regearing cost? I figured it would be best cause I don't want to put a lot of stress on my transmission.
