umm, what?

Have you looked at the FAQs yet? It talks about backspacing and lift height vs tire height and components you want for the lift and gearing and...

With a 5.5 BS, you will want to run wheel spacers with those 37's.

I don't know what this "+10" thing is either. But, yeah, you'll need spacers. I just found out the hard way myself. My budget is minimal. I saved up for a lift kit, finally got one today. I'm ready to install and realize that I need 1.5" wheel spacers for my stock wheels. Looks the lift's gonna sit and collect dust for quite a while until I can work them into my budget.
