http://chevytruckworld.tenmagazines.com/mygallery.ten?id=4796 That is a nice truck, but it looks like a light duty 3/4 ton truck with no body lift. If it were a HD, the frame should be hanging down a ton with a body lift. Maybe the picture just doesn't do it justice. But it just does not look like it is a foot of lift compared to a light duty 1/2 ton and light duty 3/4 ton truck.

Besides that, the write up states a 6" lift on 35" tires. No mention of a body lift. And the front end is not a 2500HD front end.

Well he says it is an HD, dunno I will have to take your word for it, If you look under the pics at list of current mods he lists 3" Body and at the Very bottom of the page lists 37s. Maybe the pic was of the 35s with just the 6". I dunno Just trying to help, :confuzeld

The Chevy Dealer down the street from me is using the 6" PROCOMP lift w / 315'S = 35".

35's is the biggest on a ProComp 6"er. Thats what I have. Click on the link in my signature below. You can see my set up.

37's will fit. My IROK's measure out to 36.8" and there is no rub at all. Even when I take it mudding.

Good question? I dunno, I never measured it. I'd go out and measure it now but it's snowing like an SOB here. I didn't do any cutting so I guess it would be the same as yours.

Truck is probably a 1500HD. Front bumper is right under the grille. 2500HD I believe has a spacer correct?

Oh my bad. I thought we were talking HD's. The HD's have a factory body lift so to speak. They needed it to accomidate the Allison.

I fit 35's with only a 4" rancho, grnted a 6" would clear better but I have only the slightest rub and NO bumper or fender trimming

Matt Forsland's truck (the gray truck in the link) is indeed a 1500 HD. He is on a bunch of other forums I go to.
