The smoothest way would be to take it to a shop and tell them what size tire you want to run and they will do the rest. Just bring your checkbook and get ready to have fun.

Look up Planman on here. He has a whole thread on how to run 37's with minimal lift if thats what you're going for.
It can be done with a 2.5" budget boost, 1" body lift and trimming of your flares. Good Stuff.

Or if you have the $$ to address all other parts I've seen a few guys run a 3.5" coil lift with flat or trimmed flares with 37's and no issues.

Good luck.

The smoothest, best ride? Any long arm kit with shocks valved to match weight and spring weight while running a tire that had the proper load rating that goes hand in hand with the spring rate and shock valving...

I run 37s on a 2.5 procomp lift. I added 3/4 spacers in the front to level it out no rear sway bar cut fenders no rubbing on my 09 was very happy with the lift. My 2012 that im waiting for is getting. 2.5 rock kralwer max travel cut flares and 37s. All comes down to how much you want to spend.

x2. Absolutely no vibration. I also love the fact that I don't have a pound of tape-weights on each wheel.

I was excited to go with dynabeads. I'm not thrilled, i must say. Sometimes balance is nice but often start out with a vibration in beginning or a hway ride (as expected given design). Thnk i'll have em balanxed the old fashioned way at next visit to shop.
