Finally got the 4" Superlift on the front and the 4" ord flip on the back. Now should I fit hmmvw 37s or go with 35s? BTW the civvy k5 i have has 36s and is 1/2" higher in the front and will scrub. I absolutely refuse to trim sheet metal on this truck.

How much did you trim? I'll probably have to go more without the counterweight you have. Although I found a set of 34.5's and mt classic 2 wheels for cheap last night

The directions for the flares say 1" on the front and the rear. I was closer to 1.5"...

My truck actually is a little higher in the rear than it looks in that picture... but I'm still building out the back.

Mr Sawzall has to come out to fit 37's with a 4" lift… Unless you never deviate from a straight line, or articulate your rig and have springs out of a Peterbilt.

IMHO -If you choose wheels carefully (stick with around 4.5" backspacing) you can get away with 34-35's but it will be close.
