Real world what fits / what hits

[AK20]

35's you'll need 6" to clear with no cutting, 37's would be pushing a 6" lift with no cutting and not rubbing, an 8" lift might be in order for those. I ran 36's with 4" of lift but cut a small amount on the firewall side of the front fenders. Right now I'm running 18x39.5's on 8" of lift, but lots of cutting happened. I suggest you just get to cutting, if you do it right and take your time you can't even tell. Otherwise your going to need to get a lift that won't look very proportional, tire size vs. lift height, IMO. 37x12.50 will look goofy on 8", but would fit on a 6" with a little massaging, so in short that would be pick...6" lift, 37's. Also the shocks that most lift kits come with do fine for fullsize trucks, nothing to fancy but worth the money.
