Default How can I fit 37s?

I've a 2003 Supercrew FX4 5.4l, soon to be riding a 6" Skyjacker lift, 17x9 -12mm offset rims, and 4.56 gears.

Skyjacker claims 35x12.5 is the maximum tire allowable with their lift. What can I do to fit 37s? How easy is it to trim my own bumper, fenders and wheelwells? Should I buy spacers?

^
Being just a body lift, do I have options on aftermarket fenders to gain the necessary clearance?

My girlfriend is 5'3" and not a fan of tall trucks.

Yep. Foxhound_22. His truck was sick. If I had the money I'd get those with mid travel suspension

I'm running a 35in tire with just a 3 inch body lift. You should be able to run larger than a 35 with a 6in suspension lift?
