i would say if you have 4-5 inches now, and you wanna go cheap and quick for 37s to fit, throw some 2" coil spacers and shackles ontop of your lift now, thats assuming you dont already have shackles, if you do then go blocks, you will also need to extend ur brakelines, your might also need a longer track bar to align ur axle right, and then of course break out the sawzall and go to town or just buy the 6.5" kit from RC and ur good to go

thanks. I'd say ive got my moneys worth so far. My brother had put up an ad for some 35's or tractor tires and a guy called today who has a 73 cherokee chief for $500..he's going to jail in a couple weeks and wants it gone. For another $500 he has brand new 36" super swampers
