Some of the 6" kits are including a coil spacer allready. So if you got a lift that uses a spacer then you couldn't add another spacer on top of theirs because you CV angles would be way off.

I'd imagine with the right wheels and some fender modifications it could be done on a 6" lift. I'd suggest just going with a 8" rize lift and not having to worry about cutting, etc plus rize is the king of suspension right now....

Which is why I suggest Rize.
I was in the same situation as you I want a 8" Rize and 37's. However I don't have the cash flow for that. I knew if I went with a 6" lift and 35's that I wouldn't be happy with it.

So I put on a level kit, running factory tires on my rims, and saving my money for the lift. I have 35" tires but I'm not going to install them untill I have to, cuz if possible I want them to be brand new and I can get good trade value for 37s'.

I can justify taking off a $100 leveling kit and replacing it with a 8" rize. I can't justify taking off a $1200 6" lift and replacing it with a 8" rize.... haha

With the perfect wheel/tire combo you can fit 37s. The tires would need to be relatively narrow and the backspacing on the wheels would need to be perfect.

Not true. All lift kit's get nearly the same CV angles because of the drop down front crossmember in the kits, so essentially you have the stock settings again but just sitting 6inches higher than before. Most people stay away from stacking blocks because of the structural weaknesses.

If you do want to add a spacer to the lift, try and get a kit that replaces the front coilovers.

Default 8in Rize kit

Dude go with a Rize, they are a little pricey but its is freaking sweet functions great and just toughens up the look of the truck. Also it kept the ride pretty smooth. I put 22X10 Mazzi Hulks with 37X13.50 Kumhos.
