Default bds lift

The BDS lift came in only a 6 and 12 inch option right? I believe my sut I just picked up has the 6" on it but 37x12.5 look really small. What is a good size to run for a truck that is driven on pavement daily? Also what's the max tire size you can run with that lift? Thanks Chris

I've seen 41" tires on 2 different H2's with a 6" Fabtech lift.

That look really good! What kind of tires are they and what width? Also what's the back spacing on your wheels? And lastly does your rig see more off road then on road? My biggest issue is half the year my truck will be my daily driver (fall and winter). Worried about gearing also

what I do is have a set of wrangler mtrs on 17 inch for off road use. And when your mostly civilized use on pavement a set of 20 inch wheels with goodyear wrangler sra or if you want bigger maybe nitto terra grapplers. They dont last as long but ride is decent on highway.
if you want bigger do procomp TA

I was looking at the interco super swampers m-16 tires 40x14.5x20 for street tires. Are they any good? Any will that size tire tear up front end components really bad?

it will be great for off road. tread wont last well on road, probably would not do well in snow or bad rain and will wear you front end faster. however there are thicker tie rod ends and you can always change control arms etc. just know that down the road you have to do more maintainence

What's the issue with the control arms that everyone changes them? And just upper or lower also? That m-16 tire was listed as their most street friendly tire any suggestions for something better on road?
