What Lift Should I go With

I need some help in the suspension lift area. I want to clear 37's with 24''s. How big of lift do I need, where the 24's are out of the finder not stuffed in the finder. Also what brand to go with? This is my daily driver and I want it to ride nice. And last, im worried about Body Roll. Please post pics of your rides!!! Thanks guys.

A 6" lift would work with your application, and RCD makes a good kit, as does SuperLift, ProComp and Keldermann.

Others who actually have these lists will post their results throughout the day but when you decide on the one you want, lemme know.

You should not get much body roll, if you plan on keeping the sway bar. Even with my 10" straight axle lift running 38.5's and my shocks on the softest setting. I barely get body roll. Another system to check out is cst. Would have used them for an ifs lift. Did some research on them, and was impressed.

I agree going with a 6 inch lift should fit 37's. If you want big lift and 0 rub you might want to look into a 10 inch lift. I have been impressed with Fabtech lift kits. I put one on my last gasser and loved it! If they made a 4 inch I would already of had one for mine! The body roll and ride wont be to bad. All the lift kit does is lower the torsion bars s you'll stil maintain factory ride. Plus with the lift you can lower the torsion bars to help stop sway or body roll.
