i am not sure what to do...? leave the 8inch front springs on the front and buy 8 inchers for the rear or just get a whole new 6inch front and rear...my 37s look small with the 8inch and i really dont need it so big...it would make it more practical with 6inch but im not sure, maybe a 6inch with bump stops moved so the fenders and the body wont touch.........any ideas guys...? heres a pic of the 8inch......also with the warn bumper in my 2nd pic you can almost see the whole tire from the front... bigger tires..? im stumped here.............

Well, it'd probably be cheaper to drop down to a 6" lift than to buy bigger tires. That would be my recommendation. I've been running 36s with a 4" lift, and a lot of trimming, for a while now, but jumping it has nearly torn my bumbstop brackets off the frame.:doah: I just went up to a 6" lift (to gain a little compression travel) and need to make new brackets for the bumpstops.
 
then im guessing 37s and a 6inch and bumpstops moved im guessing it wont rub...?
 
My 36s are bias IROKs, so they're 36.8" actual height. I have removed the back half of my fenderwells and a good portion of the fender for clearance, and that's with the stock bumps replaced with 4 1/2" poly stops. If you move your bumpstops more than mine, you probably won't rub. It's hard for me to tell how much room you have with the flares, but they looked kike cutouts. I was looking for any new pics, but I couldn't find any. I can take some today and post them later.
 
yea they are cut outs its like 2.5 inches cut from the front and rear of the fender
