looks like a nice start to a project truck six inch lift would be nice

6" will clear 37's if they're not too wide. Stick with about a 13.50 and you'll be fine. My k20 almost cleared 38x15.50's with a 6". Nice truck by the way!

I have 7" and clear bald 38-15R15's on 15x14 wheels. The rub only if i bump while turning. Otherwise great! Love te look too.

Will 35's fit without a lift? Is it a no, possible or yes with some rub? And have anybody done a shackle flip on the back?

And just making sure when you measure to see how long of springs you have you just got bolt to both right? Or do you add in the curvature of the spring

Depending on how wide the 35s are, they will clear but will rub when turning.
