Default Tire Size Help???

Have a 6" Rough Country Suspension lift on my F150 2007 FX4 SC, currently with 35x12.5x20 ProComp Xtreme AT. Want to go up to 37's, anyone know if this will work or will I encounter significant or slight scrubbing. Really prefer to not do any trimming of any body if possible. Thanks!

Im not positive, but I really doubt you'll be able to run 37" without trimming. I'm actually surprised you didn't have to trim just a little for the 35"s with only 4" of lift. If you really want 37"s, my suggestion would be to add a body lift for a couple hundred bucks. I have 9" of lift with 35"s, but I usually like to leave some flex room in the wheel wells. Most guys with my set up run 37"s.

He has a 6" lift not a 4".

I thought i saw a couple members that have 37's on a 6" lift, you could always add a leveling kit and a AAL if need be.

Oops. Misread that one. That seems a little more like it. Still, it'll be close without any trimming.

A body lift might be cheaper than an AAL and a level kit. That's my combo... 6" fabtech and 3" body. 37"s are most common with that.

Then there's new gears for the 37's so you can move...
