How much lift?
 
Would a 6" lift work for a 375/60/18 tire (36") or will I need a 3" body lift too? The tire requires a 11" rim if it matters.

You will need the 6" suspension lift to fit those tires.

you will need the body lift also, or you will be rubbing

Yeah you will need the 6" suspension and the 3' body. I know because i had 36" super swampers on my truck. By the way i will be selling a 6" skyjacker with 6" lift rear springs. Pm me if your interested.

You can run 35x12.50's easily with a 3" body lift. That is if you have a dodge or Ford 4x4. But if you have a GM you might need a little more. Suspension companies liek Fabtech recommend a 6" lift for a 35" tire.

yea thats cause fords have there fender in the shape of a almost perfect circle, the chevys are like flat on top and flatten on the sides. my buddy had an f150 w/3" body and he had 33s and i couldnt see him fittin anything bigger than that. you can fit a 35 wit 6" suspension if you trim that little lower bumper ext which i dont even think you HAVE to do... hes not lookin for 35s though hes lookin to run 36s that are gonna be about 14" wide lol

Its a freakin inch, you will need a 6" suspension lift. If he's got a 2WD first he has no business trying to run those tires, and secondly he's gonna need 7.5" of lift. Fabtech's the way to go.
