that should work..
imo i wouldn`t use a body lift,id just install an 8in suspention.i think the 38` would clear fine. the body lift will make it ride worse,besides all the trouble to install,and i also dislike the body gap.. just my .o2 not trying to step on any toes... any way you bulid it good luck,and post pics!!!!

38's are close with 9 inches, I rub over just medium bumps. I hope you don't intend to off road with that combo.

Don't flame me, but I don't intend to take it offroad, unless you
count winter time snow as a offroad experience.

Jamie72, I Think I'm Going W/ 8" Springs And No Body Kit, I
Really Like The Look Of Yours, Staying W/ 38" Nitto's Due To The Fact They Are Kind Of Flat Like Thornbirds And Do Not Bow Up In The Middle Real Bad, It Shouldn't Rub Much. It Won't Get Off Road Much either, Thank's For Your Help.
