Default BDS 6" coil overs and 37" tires pictures?

Anybody done it, run 37's with a 6" lift?
If you've got pictures or advise, let's hear it, unless it concerns the mileage or power loss, please. Thanks.

I know [MENTION=142781]Stage3Motorsports[/MENTION] is running that setup. They had to TRIM A LOT to make those 37s fit. I mean a LOT.

It shows 37's will fit a 6" lift on the BDS site, but it says nothing about trimming.

Wheel offset is vital to run 37s with the BDS lift. And you can't run wider than a 12.5 tire. I went with a wider offset rim and 13.5 and ran a leveling kit on top of the lift with an add a leaf in the rear to make it all clear, and still had to trim the plastic below the bumper on the front.

That's looks really good man. What tires are those?

Like notched said, offset is vital to running 37s with a 6in lift.

Why not just run a 8" lift? You will either have to trim a lot or run a spacer/ crank the coilovers. You'll end up wanting to go bigger anyways.

How many miles do you have on them? How many miles might you get?
