Your gonna have to be careful with which wheels you choose on the Fabtech in order to run 37's. I have one on my 24v and it rides smooth, but I cant speak for the Cepek. I was only able to fit 35x12.50 on my truck but that was with 16x10 wheels. I have 35x12.50 Toyos on 18x9 wheels right now and have no rubbing issues at all, where before at full lock I could barely rub the fender with the 16x10's.

As long as you stick with your 16x8's 37's should fit fine. I had 315's on the stock wheels with just a leveling kit on the front and some rubbing, but I was amazed at the difference the wheels and backspacing made when I went to a wider wheel.

Since the people who were selling dc never got back to me abou shipping costs i just made a order to top gun customz.
i have been talkin to jim over there for like 3 weeks now tryin to figure out what kit to order.
i really wanted a 6 inch kit so he put one together for me.
it started out the tgc 5" kit. he swapped the springs for the 6" and swapped the 2" aal for a 3" aal. i also ordered the rock crawler ling arm kit.
he said i wont have any probs and it should install fairly easy..........we will see when it comes.
ill post some pics l8tr after install

its been a while but i just got all the stuff from ups.
jus so everyone knows all the stuff from top guns was drop shipped from the manufactures.
i got a box from top guns, 2 rough country,skyjacker,rock krawler and a tough country box.
all in all it was just a waiting game for all the parts.
ill get some pics as soon as i start it hopefully.

its finally done and it only took 15 hours with a lift!
ill post some pics as soon as i can.
i had some vibration with the rear so i added a 1" 3/16 spacers to my carrier bearing and its all smooth now.
the rock krawler arms ride very smooth. the arms are solid steel bars so they are very heavy. the thing i really dont like about the rk arms is they cannot be adjusted in the truck! *** where they thinking when they made these. they could have went one step further and used left and right hand threads for the joints. that way you could adjust the length just by turning the bar.
now i gotta disconnect the bar to spin the ends! *** that kinda sux
thats my only complaint right now everything else is great.
i get some pics up asap

Any pictures of the RK arms? How was the install?
I'm getting ready to order a set next week but have not heard much about them. The truck will be going up 6-7" on 37s so I'm glad to hear it ride nice for you.
What kind of shocks are you running?
