Default Would it work?

Would a full traction premium kit and a one inch body lift work to run 37s??

Or would i need to get the tera flex four inch lift?


Thanks for any help!

it would defintely work. yes is your answer. and to add i think it helps reduce the driveline angles a bit so you may be able to dodge getting new driveshafts. but you still need to adress gears and axles etc. thats a lot of tire

Yes, You will have to trim your front air dam. and your rear quater panel (as best as I can describe it.

I have pics of what I did to run 37's on a 4" superlift on this post here

He's talking about 37's..

35's will be fine with 4:10's. I think 37's are going to be a bit much for 4:10 gears if you want to keep it close to stock.

Yes, 35's is pushing it with the 4.10's. 37's really bog it down. My overdrive is useless. I will be regearing when they start shipping the gears.

Still at a coin flip between the 4.88's and 5.13's
