I want to fit 37" m/t next summer which kind of lift should I go with? currently I have no lift and Im running 35" (truck specs below). I do lots of offroad but prices here in Canada are horrendous! I was thinking of the dreaded body lift. how about 2 inches? would it be enough? Or if I install new leafs how much does it cost?

Hey rescue send me a pic of your ride and how you trimmed your fenders to fit 35's. Are you a straight front axle or IFS I have seen both on 85's.
HOLLY GINORMOUS PIC BATMAN!!!
i couldnt even get it to load half way, but i would just run a 2" BL and be done with it. if you dont need any increased flex, just get the body a little higher and wheel.

Sorry all the pics are too big... I wrote a lenghty procedure but it didnt validate...I removed about 3 inches of the wells, I cut the "inner" well in the back where it levels off, cut strips vertically bent them inward and finished off with a strip of sheet metal, the front i removed the plastic liner did the same as the back. I finnaly bashed in the the well with a sledge hammer to gain another 2.5 iches of clearance. It is not for everyone!! remember to remove wires and the computer before doing this! I filled the gaps with silicone and finihed off with some black undercoating

I'd do shackles before body lift.
