Do you guys know if you can use 37" tires on a 6" lift. Someone who is interested in my lift kit is wondering about that.

not without trimming and alot of bar cranking

:exactly:

Yes, it can be done. I had to trim my metal bumper not to rub off road. I'm cranked about 1.5" past the 6" pro comp. If it's a full drop, then I would say yes. CV angles would be too bad with a knuckle lift. Also, the Toyo's are much bigger than a 37" BFG, so that would be even better. And the best rim to fit them is an 8" wide wheel with 4.5"BS. I'm running a 17x8 with 4" BS, and it works.

I'm up in the air about this very question. I think there needs to be some specification made between spindle and non-spindle kits. The widened track of a spindle kit is going to remove clearance. There is no doubt about it. If you're using a full-drop kit where both upper and lower arms are lowered like Full Traction, Superlift, Procomp, or CST, I would think a larger tire is going to clear. Any thoughts?

depends on rim width and back spacing also

Why would a full drop offer more clearance than a longer spindle? The only difference is dropping the a-arms down vs a longer spindle and the top a-arm in stock position. I'm just not seeing how it would create more clearance.

a spindle kit pushes the tires outward making the tire swing more as it turns. It does cause issues towards the cab and bumper

 

[GMCMONSTER]

Yes. I had your same lift with green keys with 37x14.00 inch toyos and it cleared the tires just fine on and offroad.

Exactly

Also, some spindle lifts only drop the diff 4", and achive the other 2" by cranking. Full drops do drop the diff 6", so the cv's are flat. Another 1.5 to 2" crank and your angles won't be soo bad.

you could just go and get a set of bushwacker cut outs and they work great that is what is on my truck right now
