That's certainly enough lift to clear 37s. You just need to make sure you do everything else needed to strenghten your suspension/driveline.

Gusset your C's. lower and upper. Axle shafts would be smart, as those are heavy ass tires. Axle sleeves would be a smart idea as well. If you need ball joints now, go ahead and do them when you get your C's welded.

Just a few basic things you'll want to do.

There's a few. Trail Worthy Fab is a great site to go through, or you can always buy them off another guy that bought some. There's always a set for sale somewhere.

If your new wheels have enough BackSpacing, you wouldn't need spacers.
