Default 8 inch lift and 37s

Can I clear 37s with an 8 inch lift on a 2005 XLT? Someone told me its impossible to level on top of a lift unless it's a super duty. I didn't think that was true, so if it isn't will I need that to clear the 37s?

If I'm not mistaken lift kits are usually like 6"rear 8" front to level as you lift

If your asking if you can stack a leveling kit on top of a lift the answer is yes, only if you have a longer strut and not a big 6" spacer. It's not too good of an idea to stack spacers or blocks. I have a 6" fabtech with a 1.5" autospring leveling kit stacked on top running 35 12.50

Its an 8" pro comp and a 2 inch steel level kit we made ourselves. Will that clear the 37s? Or will it clear without the level
