Go with Nitto's if you are in the country and Toyo's if in the city otherwise you may not like the noise on pavement. My Pro comp had an agressive sideways block tread and they were very noisy and only lasted a year. My Toyo's have lasted 4 years so far. I rotate them every 5k or so but I get it done for free. They also rebalance for free and I think that's the secret of them lasting is the rebalance. That's something you want to look for when you purchase. The dealer wanted $20/tire to rotate them. There is an oversize fee for 20" wheels and even though I have 17's they consider the 37's oversized.

Also the 37's are fine for snow and unpaved roads. The issue with the 6" lift is off road parks or 4 wheelin' over 15mph which is where you will use up all of your clearance. If you just hit the snow and go through mud puddles you will be fine but if you want to pretend you have a Raptor and play baja then you will have alore more fun with 35's.

you have toyo mud terrains? and the balancing is correct but the rotation is incorrect unfortunatly unless needed as i stated before like tires out of balance or out of allignment..

OK Bud I have your answer. I have 6 suspension with 3 body and 37's. Under full flex the tires go all the way up in the fender. I got it to rub one time. I was hard left turn and flexxxxxed out. I hope this helps if you do a 6 stay with 35's. You can get a Rise, and BDS 8 inch but plan on drive shaft work the 8" is just to much for stock shafts. I would not stack suspension lifts either the biggest key is keeping your front CV axles as level as possible or plan on replacing them every 6 months.

san antonio huh brother in law lives there whats up a fello south texas truck lol ya dont stack suspension lifts and keep cv shafts level if you go with the 8 i recommend getting longer cv shafts or it willl eat them up no doubt they are not cheap either about 300 a piece you have 2 so you do the math

dilloncawthon

just get a 6in. kit, a 2in. leveling kit, and an add-a-leaf. there's an 8in. kit that tons of people run. also to blackbeast, what you are saying about rotating your tires is untrue. that's like saying im not going to change the oil in my truck until it's about to blow because its wasting money.

Thanks beast nice to meet ya. DUDE stacking a 6" with a 2" or 3" leveling kit is STUPID! Have you seen what the front CV's look like with that much lift. They are at a 30 degree angle on a flat road. Thats where they wear out fast. As Blackbeast said they are 300 each. I did the math thats 600 plus the time to replace them. Thats if they dont break and tear up your strut. I have seen over extended front struts. Not good anyway you look at it. If you do it do a 6" suspension with a 3" body you will be fine. Wide 38's you will have to trim a lot. 37's with that set up is awesome. Full flex with no trimming.

do you not realize that your cv's will be at the same exact angle as a stock truck with a leveling kit. as long as you dont go over 2.5" then you shouldn't have any problems. so the thousands of people running leveling kits on a stock truck are stupid? or what about the other thousands running cranked up coilovers? coilovers do the same exact job as a leveling kit aside from a smoother ride.

a lift kit brings everything down 6in.s suspension wise so you have completely stock angles on everything after it, suspension wise. so adding a leveling kit to a truck with just a basic suspension lift is the same as adding it to a stock truck or cranking up some coilovers.

I have seen many of those cranked up over lifted trucks and yes they will have CV problems before to long. Specially if you use your lift. If your a road queen then yes It will last longer before it fails but yes it is going to fail.

simply untrue, they may wear out quicker but you won't be able to tell it. there are tons of people on f150online running cranked coilovers or leveling kits for 40-50k plus miles with absolutely no problems. as a matter of fact i can honestly say i have never heard of anyone on that site that has had a problem due directly to a leveling kit.

also if you wheel your truck that hard, you are more likely going to break a body lift bolt then mess up something with a leveling kit.

im gonna have to agree with dillon on this they are plenty around here that run lift kits and then put the leveling kits on afterwards no problems and if your gonna wheel your truck real hard more than likley its not gonna be the angle that breaks a cv axle and also if you go off roading you dont wanna a body lift i have seen them break and its not pretty
