Default 37" tires

I currently have an 2012 with a 6" fabtech lift. I would like to run , 37's . I have 35's now on 18" wheels.

Anyways is anybody running 37's with a set up like mine with no rubbing? My 35's will rub in reverse.

I know I can do body lift, but any other options out there to lift maybe another inch?

6 inches is fine. They will rub from the width on stock wheels but not the height, you have aftermarket wheels so depending on your offset you should be okay.

Yes it will rub. My 2007 has our long travel kit on it that widens the track width 4.5" per side, and even with fiberglass fenders we still had to trim the edge of the cab by the rear of the wheel well because I rubbed at full lock.

I have the McGaughys 6.5" lift and after installing my 37s (22x11 wheels with -24 offset) I couldn't even turn the wheels without rubbing the front bumper. I knew that it would rub bad so I had an Nfab replacement bumper all ready to go…

Your truck looks sweet with the wheels!
What about the rubbing by the door jam?

Seen many f150's on 37's. All rubbed some where. Even 6" susp lift with 3" body lift can rub if backspacing is to great. Its all "set-up" dependent

One option a lot of guys use is to grab some adjustable coil overs for the front. Bilsteins, F150 lifts, Fox 2.0, ect. And an add a leaf for the back. You can jump up to an 8" lift for under 1K. Without the look of a body lift.
