Re: 9 inch lift clear 37 inch tires?

you theoretically SHOULD clear 37s with a 6" lift and a 3" bodylift, but it depends on the width and backspacing of your rims, as well as the tires you use.

Re: 9 inch lift clear 37 inch tires?

When looking for a Titan (before I got this one last week) I saw a bunch of lifted ones with similar setups - 6" lift / 3" body lift - and a lot were on 37s. I am sure there was some slight rubbing sometimes. Shiet, I rub my 315/70/17 BFGs (6.5" lift) when turning the wheel all the way.

i overlooked that part, but i agree. you may rub, so be prepared to do some fender trimming.

but as you said i<, a lot has to do with the backspacing of the rim... but pro'ly the pinch weld mod will help along with removing the front mud flaps out...

Re: 9 inch lift clear 37 inch tires?

look inside the front fender, you'll see a pinch weld. by cutting that up, you free up some space to help fit some bigger meats under the front fenders.

6 MPG?!?!?!?! what are the specs on your truck?? i've never heard of anyone with that low of a mpg with their titan....i guess that'd be fine though if you had a 55 gallon gas tank...

6mpg? is this city driving? although that does seem on the lower-end of the mpg, stop and go can and will take up a good amount of gas.
