6" is a bit high. Especially with IFS. Not to mention it is rediculously expensive. I'll be spending that money on a SAS as soon as the warentee runs out.
I also think it's possible to fit the 37's (with work) without lifting it at all. You just have to get creative. A truck is built, not bought.

how do spacers hold up off-road? My 285 BFG's rub now with my new rims with -4 offset. Already have a 3" lift. No rub until these new rims went on.

I took the wheel spacers out. There just wasn't enough thread engagement to make me feel comfortable.
Spacers aren't the best idea, but will work in a pinch.
Your rubbage comes from the wrong wheel offset/backspacing.

Where is it rubbing on yours? If it's rubbing on the body mount/mudflap area, a bigger spacer will make it worse. There is a few posts out there on how to trim the body mount.
