My rear lights clear just before my rear tires hit the lip of my garage.. If I had a wagon I'd be screwed.. Believe me, I've already thought about removing a set of bricks but I'd have to do all 3 of my doors to keep them the same height. Would look silly if one of my garages was higher than the other 3..

I'm lost... why would an SUV be any higher than an SUT? Assuming your truck sits level, they should be the same height.

Moot point, just wondering.

Here's the deal....

Using torsion keys will get you 1.5-2.0 inches of lift. Anything more than that and your truck typically rides like crap. (not saying it can't be done, just not normally done)

Assuming your 37's are really 36" tall, the stock 35's are 33" tall.

So you've gained 1.5" of height just from the tires and you've gained 1.5" from the lift.

If 3" is all you've got, then you're screwed if you crank up the torsion bars any more than 1.5".
