If you need help with spending it. I'm your man.... Lol

But Jake is right. 1.25 is not noticeable in gaps.

Hey guys this is killing me. I have been taking your advice and I still cant figure this out. I feel DUMB!!! At the end of the convo people keep saying get a BL. I just want the 6' lift Bilsteins and a 1' rear spacer. Can I run a Toyo 37x1350 20x10 -24 offset with this setup????or will I have major issues? I just need someone to tell me what to run here lol

You will rub and this is 100%
To ONLY run a 6" lift up front, you will need a 20x9 wheels and a 12.5" wide tire
0 offset will not rub AT ALL, -12 you may be able to get a way with on a 12.5" tire

But you will not be able to fit what you want above with only a 6" lift
Even with a 1.25" body lift you will rub.
You need at least Bilsteins at 2.1 to fit it and that too may require some trimming as each one of trucks are different

Hope this helps

set at 2.1" you can run 20x10 -12 offset with 12.50s and be fine i know..13.50s on that should be ok also..with -24 offset it will prob rub on the plastic valence some with 12.50s or 13.50s...you have the chrome bumper correct? not the sport bumper?..I've seen a few members run around 7.8" lift or so on -24 and 13.50s..kevin (musclemckeester) ran this setup before body lift and just removed lower valence to make them fit.

I'm telling you man..sick setup would be 6" rcx bilsteins 2.1", 1.5" rear spacer, and 1.25" or 1.5" body lift, 37 1350s on 20x10 -24 offset...wont rub and sit perfect..only thing will have to do is adjust exhaust tips after body lift..But if you are that against a body lift and not running huge 2.5" fender flares get 20x10 -12 bilsteins 2.1" with 12.50s (13.50s even and trim valence some or remove..i removed mine even)

That looks good! So since I have the sport bumper, does that make it easier? Im about to purchase a tuner and a 87mm TB too. See what happens when boredom hits!!!!

OUCH! That is correct!
This is what I had before re-gearing.....lets just say, my truck was back in the shop for the gears exactly 2 weeks later after lifting and 37's

So having 3.55 gears and going to a 37" or 35" tire, the truck should be re-geared? :/ What would be a good gear for me to look into? I do a good mix of flat and hilly driving.
