A member named Thermo had 37's on his truck with 4" of lift. What I have seen him tell many people is that it is possible, but it takes some "massaging" of the fenders with a very large hammer. I haven't seen him active in quite some time, but it might be worth PM'ing him to see if it sends him an email or anything that gets his attention. He would have good instructions on what it would take.

If you have a 3" body lift, You wouldn't need another 6" lift. You could do a small 3" lift and be good or like KWT2000, do a tt and spacers.

Not personally but most guys here who have lifted the truck have cranked the bars. I have never read anything regarding adverse effects other than maybe firming the front end ride a little bit.

if you think the ride is too harsh after cranking the bars up zone has front shocks with reverse valving that will bring the ride back to stock

6" lift will get you the room you need on top of the 3" you have. Walnuts Expy had 37" with that setup.

Zone offroad or Fabtech 6" is the way to go. Zone is cheaper $$$
4" lift can be done but only Thermo knows how

My truck had the Rancho 4" lift and a 3" body lift. I had plenty of room for 37s. The pic in the sig is with 35s.
