4" or 6" lift?

[Ulfhedinn]

Once I swap the front and rear diff to a Dana 60 and 14B on the M1009, I plan on going with a lift and high steer kit. I'm looking to run 37x12.50x16.5 Hummer tires and 8bolt modded hummer wheels. What lift will I need to clear them. Could I get away with 4" with some fender trimming or do I need to go 6".

Also do you think I will need a PSC steering Kit with this setup? Also would the High Clearance HD Engine Crossmember be a sensible purchase for this build?

THANKS

A 4" lift and some trimming fits 37's and works great! I ran that setup on my Blazer for a long time and it worked really well.

That's also the setup on our cheap truck project, same tires and everything:

also move axle forward 1" will help clear the fire wall a lot.

save your self a lot of cash . pickup the cheeper drw dana 60 and get 3" spacers for the rear 14ff and run unmodifyed wheels. then also save money from not recentering the wheels.
