I could not safely clear 35s with the offset on my 10.5" wide wheels with just the 4.5" Icon. Had to do a TEI to get there....

You guys also keep in mind this truck is not my daily driver. Strictly a toy. Tracker or Jeep pull daily duty....

I run 37-13.5-22 with a 6in kit... Don't rub EVER.... I know a guy with 8in on a 06 cclb and he has 39.5 superswampers.... Just spaced the front bumper out a slight amount... You should call/email topguncustomz they always have been very knowledgeable/helpful with my stuff

I had 37x13.5's on the orange truck with a 6" lift. Just needed to do a little bit of bumper/fender trimming that no one would even notice.

.

If I had a standard offset on the wheels....I could clear them now...no doubt.

What offset are they? I dont think you have a wide enough wheel to pull off the 37s with a 8" lift. I like your look now.

Gare I had those on my truck with 37s. Was running a fab tech 6" 4-link. I trimmed MAYBE 2 inches of the bottom corner of the bumper.

Excellent. I owe you buddy.

Also it looked great IMO with those 37s tucked under there, but your truck is a work of art right now man.

To go from an ICON 5.5" to 8" you will need the following:
6-7010 - 7"-9" Box Kit (Includes Sway Bar Links, Bump Stop Spacers, Pan Rod Bracket and Brake Line Brackets)
6-7015 - 7" Lift Dual Rate Coil-Spring
6-6514 - Front ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Mono-tube Shocks
3-6508 - Rear ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Mono-tube Shocks

Plus either a traction block setup at 9" or a set of 5" leaf springs with 4" block for the rear.

No dice? Then let's go with a 16" OUO 4-link. THAT will be magazine worthy for sure.
