37s with an icon 4.5" lift Pics - Diesel Forum

choff12 · 10-23-2009, 03:31 PM

Im wondering if i could run 37s with the icon 4.5" lift with the tei relocation bracket and 5" plush ride leaf springs with a one inch block, so the total lift would be 5.5" in the front and 6" in the back. Let me know if this is possible and if you have any pics

nothing a sawzall cant fix... when i was at 6 inches of lift and had 37in 12.50's it would only rub fully turned going into driveways and off road , trimming solved it...

I have coils up front so im thinking if i get bushwhacker cutouts i could clear the 37s, but im a little apprehensive to do that. Im stuck between 35x12.5x17 trail grapplers, 37x13.5 toyos or m16s, or 37x12.5 KM2s. Tire choices are so confusing

I dont have 37's I have 35x13.50's, but thats the exact suspension setup I have (except I also added the 4-link).

Anyone else?

TxFireman1972, I love how your truck looks, ill prolly just play it safe and cheap and go with the new 35s nittos. How do you like the 4-link?

35/12.50/20 fit on my neighbors 06 stock.... i think if you used the stock rims the 37s would fit without a problem with that amount of lift.

i have seen the 99-04s with a 4inch fit 37s

im running 35" with only a leveling kit. i gota buddy that has 37" on stock wheels with a 4 inch it can be done u just have to have the right offset with the wheels to keep it from rubbing

Love the 4-link...made a world of difference in the handling.

I run something close to what you are describing but feel 37's would be a tight fit. Trimming would help prevent contacting issues.

Ive decided to save my money on 37s and get 35" trail grappler and go with the 4-link and farmboy traction bars. Ill post up some pics when i get through with all the mods.

Going with ICON? I'm considering bumping up to 7" and 37's. May have some 4.5" stuff for sale.

choff12 · 11-02-2009, 01:24 AM

Yeah man shoot me a pm with the stuff your most likely going sell. Im particularly interested in the springs, blocks, ubolts, and relocation bracket if you are willing to part with them. I wont be doing all my suspension stuff till end of april start of may so youll have plenty on time to realize you want to go higher an sell me your old stuff

TxFireman1972 · 11-02-2009, 03:55 PM

If I do go up to 7", the stuff I will have avaiiable would be:

4.5" coil springs
front shocks
adjustable track bar
box kit (sway bar links, brake brackets bump stop spacers, etc)
maybe 1" tei spacers unless I decide yo keep them

I don't have rear blocks or ubolts cause I'm running the ICON 5" rear springs

New prices on those parts are:
coil springs $210
shocks $220
track bar $305
box kit $160
TEI spacers $140

Let me see what I'm gonna do and I'll get back to you
