So let me get this straight? You bought a beautiful 9000 pound truck and you want to lift it up 4-6 inches in the lift kit and another 6-10 inches with tires and your plan is to take this truck where? If you want the truth...I put a 4" lift on my Jeep Unlimited and 33's and that was 8 inches lift total. Your MPG will fall considerably with the 37's and not as bad with the 35's. If your putting tires that big on any truck...then you are not worried about gas mileage. Power loss is relative to the gears you run in the rear ends. Huge tires need more gear to make them have the benefit...so think about what you want your final drive to be once your done building the truck UP. Rolling mass increases will always rob you of power...so figure out how much power your willing to give up for the increase in altitude of your truck. You can get back some of that power with accessories, programmers, gears etc...

Just enjoy your truck and reprogram your speedo to match your new rubber.

So where do you take a 9000 pound huge lifted truck anyway?
