6-7" Lift & 37s - Show me your pics!

[Offroad Addiction]

I know... I know... there is a sticky thread, but doesn't seem to be many of what I want to see.

I would love to see pics of your rigs with 6-7" lift, 37" Tires.

We won't see our truck for about a month so wanting to see pics to keep excited, managed to score a 6" Skyjacker lift kit, 1" ORD Body lift kit and working on some 37s so wanting to get an idea of how it will look.

Any issues I need to look out for?

Thanks!

Steering and drive shafts do not work very well if stock

This is one of my best friends trucks. We just put it on the ground and drove it last night from installing the lift. It originally had a 3" body lift and 33" tires on weld wheels. It always looked like the tires would rub the fenders on an incline with the tires turned. His dream was always more lift and 37" Boggers. So this winter he ordered up all the parts and pieces, including a 4" all spring lift. What I can tell you is, his original leaf springs from 1984 were obviously way more shot and wore out than anticipated as the 3" body lift barely cleared the 33" tires and the new 4" springs netted him roughly 6" of additional lift in the front and about 7 1/2" of additional lift in the rear. So what he measured for and ordered thinking he'd end up with a 7" lift (including the 3" body) total, got him roughly a total of 9" in the front of the truck and 10 1/2" in the rear of the truck. Plenty to clear the new 37" tire and wheel package. But a little more than he was expecting. Of course, it's going to settle just a little bit after he gets some miles on it and things work in. So this set up pictured is literally hot off the press.

Thanks, I did get the complete kit from Skyjacker, which comes with the steering arm. Didn't know if I would need a driveshaft spacer or not as it probably won't do all that much offroad.

Nice rig!

Damn, that is a seriously clean rig! Wouldn't say no to having that in the garage.
