Order bushwacker cutout fender flares and don't run more then a 10" rim and you should be able to use the truck for regular driving. Believe it will still rub when cranked all the way hitting a large bump.

What lift are you running and are you looking at 13.50 or 15.50 wide tires?

it will rub unless you like taking a cut off wheel to the side of a $20,000 truck... Not for the faint at heart. You can tuck the fender in rign infront of the doors and you can raise your windshield washer fluid tank up a bit, cut your inner fender, cut your bumper, and install bump stops to limit your steering ( just weld them on the knuckle)

IMO, stay with 35's so you can USE the truck, a 6" lift is NOT enough lift to USE 38's, it is for 35's. I have a 6.5" BDS HC lift on my 06 and it looks great and i clear 37's but i went down to 35's because i actualy use my truck up in the hills. If all you do is city driving and you just want to look cool, go for it by all means. Also, alot of sled pulling class's are limited to 35" tall tires, so that was another factor
