Default 6" lift kit
I was looking to put 37" tires on my 2 door. I think I found the lift kit I want the Teraflex elite lcg 6". I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this kit and/or if 6" of lift is over kill for 37's if I go with flat fenders?

Plenty of folks here run 37's with just 2.5 inches of lift. It keeps the center of gravity lower. But if thats what you want more power to ya. Good luck with whatever you decide

So other than a new front and rear drive shaft and 5.38 gears is there anything else needed to run 6" of lift with 37's on 15 or 16" rims?

So with 4" of lift do you need to replace the drive shafts?

Here is my 6" LCG with 40s though my fenders do need to be chopped. I'm sure with 37s you'd be set.
