You are going to want the leveling kit so the fronts don't rub, plus it just looks better.

Yeah that is true, I forgot to mention the leveling kit. You might be able to get a skinny 35 on after that not anything wide like my nitto 35x13's.

I had 37x12.50/16.5's on 16.5x9.75 on my old 99. I just took a grinder to the plastic inner finder, the corner of the fender and trimmed just a tad bit off the bumper. If you decide to trim the inner fender be careful because there are some wires attacked to the backside of the plastic inner fender. Oh and by the way my 99 only had 2,000 miles when I cut it up so dont be scared. And it looked so much better with no lift and big tires then some trucks Ive seen with big lift and small tires.

Man that's nuts, 37's on a factory truck Super Duty? Was it a 250 or 350? I'm thinking about cut out flares if don't get another lift. I like the look of them on super duty trucks.
