Dare to ask?
soooooo, i know i'm probably gonna get slapped for asking this but i'm getting a lot of mix answers....
Most of you guys say you can fit 37" tires with stock suspension, if I get a 3" leveling kit front and back..... Coudn't I fit 38"s? The 38"s most likely will never really see offroading... I will use 35" for that.
What's the verdict? 
Thanks in advance.

With stock suspension 38s will rub - go with the 37s. Performance will be better with the 37s too because of the smaller circumference.

Re: Dare to ask?
 right, but I'm getting a 3" leveling kit, that would fit 38"s then right? Am I missing something?

Re: Dare to ask?
Even if they fit you will most likely not like the performance without gears or a supercharger. I run 38.5 tires and there was short time between lifting it and doing the gears/supercharger on mine. The truck left alot to be desired performance wise over the time frame, the transmission would constantly hunt gears and had no acceleration to speak of.

Re: Dare to ask?
it will be a gutless pig w/ out gears or a blower...and you'll be out of the powerband and loose about 4.5mpg, put you down to 7.5-8mpg from 12.5-13mpg.
Look at it this way, you'll be pissing away 25% more in fuel. Depending on how many miles you drive, spending the money to drop the gears would probably pay for themselfs w/ in a year.
