Get some bushwacker flares. This truck has 6" lift and flares with 37s.

Thanks for the pictures. I have a 2010 with a 6" Procomp. I have not purchased the tires yet. I am concerned about the front bumper being to close to the tires. No issue when the suspension is compressed while turning the tires? Do you take it on trails to make you qualified to give me a valid response?

So you have a 9" lift? I'm trying to fit 37s with a 6" lift.

I wouldn't try 37's with just a 6" lift. You're most likely gonna get some rubbing unless you do some trimming. I'd at least go with a 2" leveling kit up front. For me, I was thinkin adding 2.5 up front and adding another inch in the rear.

Trimming of what exactly? Just eyeballing it, I think it will fit except for maybe the front bumper. That's the only thing that looks close on the front. Also maybe the rear fender when the suspension is fully articulated. Do I have that right?

All the 6" kits I've seen consist of 4" drop brackets and a 6" extension on the strut, essentially it is a 4" lift with a leveling kit built in, if you add a 2" leveling kit on top of a 6" lift it will but excessive strain on ball joints, tie rod ends, cv shafts... I have personally seen this happen on a new dodge, lift + leveling kit= very bad accident due to ball joint failure, the truck was only 4 months old, it was lifted the day it was bought

Yeah, I imagine the front bumper. I can't say for sure since I don't have a lift myself and I'm going by the experiences and advice of other people with lifts on this forum.

Interesting. I'm gonna do some research on this, then. If this is the case it will definitely change my mind about using a leveling kit.

youre retarted.

its a 6" dropped sub frame in the front on any 6" lift.

it only lifts the rear 4" extra on a 6" lift kit.
