moparmorris - Very nice man...when I lift my rig I will keep my stock wheels on

You gonna run hu centric spacers? I put .25" spacers on my stock wheels with 35's on the rcx and I'm splitting ass hairs with the sidewall lugs on the spindles. But my new wheels will be good

I would take my 4" lift with Bilsteins all day over the 6". The 4" with Bilsteins sits 1/4" lower than the 6" in the front.

I have 3.92 stock gears so with that said my original mpg the way I drive was 13.5 now is 10.5-11 but I don't drive it to work so not worried about it. As for pep so can still get up and roll some loss but not much I have more pics go under photos and videos and thread named 6" zone on 37's with pics or I just updated my profile album

It really seems like once you go to 37's on a 1500, everything struggles. I get 14.5 doing 100% city driving with 325/60/20s (35.6"). I also hear of a lot more ball joint/ tie rod issues with 37's.

I've always wanted to go to a true 37" tire, I think that will happen when I get rid of this and do a Cummins.

I'm not going to go with 37's, I'm sticking with 35's. At least until I can afford new gears and a tuner. But I'm waiting for both until I'm at least half way through my warranty lol

Everyone has a different gauge. I drove a truck like mine with 3.92's and 37's and thought it was pretty damn slow.

I have a Zone 4" with Bilsteins at .7". It sits about 1/2" lower than my Zone 6" on my 2010 did. I have 325/60/20's which are 35.6" X 13.2".

6.7 Cummins TD, 3.73
6" Pro Comp suspension lift and level (4" in rear and 6" in front). Pro Comp ES9000's for shocks. I added Pro Runner Pro Comp dual steering stabilizer shock set.

My wheels are Fuel 20x9's, lug pattern is 8X6.5 with a 1mm offset.

My tires are 35x12.5R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

I used the Pro Comp speedometer calibrator to adjust for the larger wheel & tire combination.

Because I tow so much weight with my lift, I also installed the Air Lift 5000 Ultimate air bag kit and the Wireless One remote system on 4" spacers.

I've had ZERO problems with the lift. The truck rides like a Cadillac off road. I picked Pro Comp because of apparent durability. I haven't read any terrible reviews about them or their products and so far I would steer anyone to them. I've put over 10K miles on it so far and all is good. I don't abuse my truck but I've not been ginger with it either.

How much rake did you have before adding the adjustables with the 5 inch rear coil?
