Biggest tires on a 6" lifted 06 f150
I have a 2006 F150 with a 6" RCX lift. I'm currently running 35-12.50R20 cooper discoverer STT on 20" XD addict wheels. I'm wanting to step up to a 37" open country on a 22" wheel. So my question is will I have to put a 3" body lift to clear 37"s or can I do it now with the 6" lift? I tried to search the forum before I posted but didn't find any info so if it's a repost I'm sorry in advance.

I was running 37s on my truck when I bought it. I have a 6" suspension lift with a level kit. The truck did have quite a bit of shaving done to the front, but I still rubbed if I turned on an incline or took a sharp turn in general. I personally like my 35s way better than the 37s for that reason. I would say bump it up to an 8" or 10" and just run 38s.

I'm currently running the 37 inch Interco IROKs with a 6" zone lift and bilstein 5100s up front bumped up for the extra 2". Those shocks are amazing, they keep the truck exactly where it needs to be even on bumps, hills, inclines, everything!

I'm gonna check into them right now. Did you have to trim anything to clear em.

I bought my truck used, the guy who had it before me already trimmed away quite a bit.
He was using a prodump 6" lift with the shocks they give you, and 18x10 rims with 35s on them.
I pulled off the prodump, put on the zone with the bilsteins and noticed instantly it sat better. So I put new rims on it and went with 37s.
Here's a pic of how she sits, you can see that even with the 37s there's plenty of room under there.

Wanna sell your old lift?

I want to lift my '06 but don't want to have to buy new wheels. I know BDS recommends 4.5" backspacing on the wheels, but anyone know if I could get away with running my SVT Raptor wheels with the larger steering knuckles? Will the clear?

The shop that lifted mine said I could have kept my stock wheels if I didn't go so wide on tires or if I bought wheel spacers. Might look into some wheel spacers
