Re: 6" lift and 37x14.50's
Looks great! Are you using blocks or springs (or a combination)?

Looks great, that other leaf should make it perfect.

Cool If you do a shackle flip you can get rid of the blocks.

I really wouldnt take that video to heart... that truck looked like a huge pile that has been driven hard and put up wet. With the huge meatballs he had on there which I am sure it had big axles and big gears... it was a recipe for destruction... especially if it was on a 1/2 ton unmodified frame. |

Re: 6" lift and 37x14.50's
Looks good!
I just put 6 inch front springs in because the 4 inch ones I got were junk. Still have just the 4 inch blocks in the rear, which already has add-a-leafs and a big 1 ton spring pack. It sits pretty decent, not perfectly level but not a west coast lean either. I'm hoping the front settles in a bit and levels it out. I planned on putting military 37s on it but I've scrapped that idea. Too much work changing the dually hubs and rear axles around to get them to fit. So I'm stuck with little weenie tires. Another reason I don't want to raise the rear any more to even it with the front, the tires are already small looking.

Re: 6" lift and 37x14.50's
I think the tires look perfect under it but I hate lifted trucks where the back sits lower its like a disease but that's just me, but yours doesn't sit bad at all

Re: 6" lift and 37x14.50's
Well militarys are cheap. But they would need to fit on 6 or 6.5 inch rims. I dont think 12.50s would be too safe on a 6 inch rim. I've been wanting to get 9.00x16s but not had any luck finding any. So I think I'm just going to stick with 235/85s and try to live wih the truck like that. I always want bigger tires, but really the only way to do it would be to switch it back to a four wheeler, which would be costly and pretty permanent, plus it would ruin the whole idea of the truck, which is to have the dual rear wheels tucked under the fleetside bed.
