Sorry to tell you this but its not happening unless you get a bigger lift! I saw about five trucks at 4wheel parts this weekend with six inch pro comp kits on them and they had to have special offset wheels to clear 35's!They all had minor trimming done to them! Trust me im in the same boat you are. Im not a fan of having to cut into a $55,000 dollar truck!Im waiting on my RBP wheels to get here they had to make them on a special off set to run a 20x10 with a 35-12.50 !whatever you do do not crank the torrsion bars up to get the extra couple inches out of your lift.If you do invest in some mouth peices becuase the ride wild knock your teeth out!:D

Its possible. A little trim, and a little crank and your golden.

ya some bushwacker cut outs and that will work. also what kind of tires are you wanting to put on that will help also BFGs will work real easy i just got mine on and with my coopers i had even almost bald i rubbed a little but the BFGs don't at all

I say go for it! I have a 6" RCD with 37" X-terrains. Some trimming will need to be done but not as much as you might think. I also went with Cognito UCA's for more travel.

doin it here too, full drop kit is the way to go, then crank the tbars up 2" (the rides not that bad unless your my grandmas age) trim untill it dont rub no mo and voila, 37's on a 6" lift. check my garage also for pics.

Heck I WANT to cut the fenders, as in real body work, cut out and stretch the wheel opening about 3". 37's on a 4" lift with tires actually IN the wheel wells. :D

ya i was thinking about that with the 4" lift to but dont no much about doin the body work and dont have to many reliable shops up here in alaska. i was also wondering would i need to change the gearing with 37s or would it still be fine?

you can stick with the stock gears but for 37's i would do 4.56's it will be more responsive

4.56's would be best like jdugie said if ya got the coin to do it but otherwise the stock 3.73's are fine. i havent regeared yet and dont know if i will, i just added more power with a tuner instead

Seems the 5spd guys tend to stick with stock gearing a lot more, heck it gets us closer to the 6spd od. :D

I don't know about the Procomp needing crazy offset for running 35's let alone 37's. I run a 37" tire(probably more like a 36.5" tire) on a 6" Procomp just fine. No rub whatsoever.

Thanks to all you guys running 37's w/ a 6" lift. I was told I wasn't gonna be able to do it even if I cranked up the t-bars 2" b/c I wouldn't have any drop-out. Well, I took it into my own hands to find out and the guys that told me it couldn't be done are definately WRONG. I've got over an inch between my upper control arm (stock) and the stop with t-bars cranked 2". Plus, all I had to do was trim the lower valance...no cutouts, and no trimming the fender wells and no rubbing. I say go for it!
