If your just doing a 6" lift then 35" are going to look good on it. 37"s would looked stuffed under there...sure it may fit but if you want the 37"s then I would consider going taller. I'm running and 8" Rize kit and 37"s and I am 1/2" under the legal limit with the truck tags. If you go 6+3 and 37"s you will probably be over the limit, if your concerned with it.

After listening to all this info you guys are giving me maybe I just need a level kit and put 33-35 under it (They will fit won't they). I don't want to kill the gas mileage, ride, or have to do a gear change. I just got back from a trip to Kentucky and it rode great and got around 16-16.5 mpg. I also tow a boat with this truck if I put a level kit on it will the stance look nose up when I have the boat on the back? (Bassboat)

Well if you put 35s on it then its not really gonna matter if its a level kit or a 6" lift...Its gonna hurt the gas milage and your gonna lose some power unless you regear. Yeah it doesnt have to be regeared because there are lots of people who dont. But if you want the power back and less stress on motor and trans. then regearing is not a bad thing. I personally like the looks of 33s on a leveling kit, 35s on a 6" lift and 37s on an 8" kit.

33's do not need a regear with 3.73's... Mine run fine, with the caveat that I use the Edge in level 2... It is kind of a dog stock (was with the original size tires also), but peps right up with the programmer... Will probably go with 35's this upcoming winter and save the 33's for summer and towing...
