i just spent about 1800 dollars on my truck i got a front axle for sas all sas parts from allpro cuz im lazy and didnt want to fab them i got the hysteer from marlin and all pro 5 inch springs. good choice i hope and what size tires do you think i can fit with the 5 inch lift springs i have 33s right now and a 3 inch body i want to get rid of the body when i get the 5 inch springs so i was wondering if i could fit 35s or 36s with a little fender trimming? maybe well thanks for your help

I've got the same springs and a 2" BL with no trimming and I've got 37's under mine. Once I get the front driveline installed I'll double check to make sure I'm really good. I think I have a couple of places to adjust.

I would leave the 3" BL and still install the new springs.

I have about the same thing... IT'S WAY TALL! I want to drop 3" some were and go with 38's. I have all the room in the world for the 37's and no triming...

I drove from the house to the tire store with the old 33's I had, and it looked really stupid and was scary as hell to drive. I'd suggest going larger then 35's if you got the coin...

I'm doing the exact same thing right now. I plan on running 38" Swampers after the install.

Cutting your firewall is about the next only way you'll get any more clearance. Its a time consumeing project, but makes a big difference for room for your tires to stuff.

I only have 3" springs in the front with 1 1/2" longer shackles. I rubbed really bad until I moved the front axle foward an 1 1/2" witha little sheet metal trimming I barely rub at all and I run 36's. I do not like body lifts. Just my .02.

well i got the new 37 ssr's on and the front only needs a little work,but the rear needs a bunch.it does sag about 2 in.in the rear so i may weld a 1 in. pad on the perch and make some longer schakles to get it level.i took the springs off my truck and the runner is a lot more weight.but it will still need trimming on both ends...
