really? doesn't the leveling kit give you more clearance? If I take it out I would probably have clearance issues once I get the 37's on there. Right?

if you lift the front of the truck with the stock control arms in place, it pulls the axle closer to the rear of the truck and closer to the fender sheet metal. that's your closest possible rub point that I can see. lowering the front a little would probably yield better overall clearance w/ the stock control arms

If it were me I would just buy longer control arms so I can still have the height.

, you guys are awesome. Thanks for all the info! I may have to try it without the leveling kit just to see and let you know. My wife hates the height so I will probably leave the control arms alone for now but thanks! Must make the wife happy here

I DEFINATELY want to see if this is possible. If so, the Terra Grappler 37x12.50R17 should fit and that would make me very happy as I LOVE my 35" TGs. The 37" TGs are somewhere around 13.5-14.0" wide though...
