35's or 37's?

I am debating what size tire to run once I ever get around to installing my lift. I have 7" Superlift front springs (6" Superduty springs).

What size tires are you guys with this type/size of lift running?

Are 35's too small? They are less pricey and I like that!

I have a pro crap 6" on mine and find that the 32s need to be bigger. so I would try the 35s. I have about 14" between the top of tire and bottom of finder in the back. I will try to post a pic but not sure how to do that so look at my photo on Photo Bucket. bpcheramie/New Excursion - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Now this is still a work in progress so this is just to show you 32s. Good luck with not having any drive line problems. Mine is come back down soon. If you ever make it down to H-Town let me know and you can see my X with a 6 and mabe it will help you out with making up your mind.

It will be very close running 37" with only 7" springs..correct backspacing will be important.
That much lift will require a new CV drive shaft.

Correctly valved Bilsteins really help especally on a X, dual front shocks are a plus also.
