If you don't want to trim, get a narrower 38 than I did. A 38x12.50 would probably work with the proper backspacing and a 6" lift. Mine damn near cleared 38x15.50's with only a 6", but I had to take about a half inch off the front and rear corner of each front wheel well. It wasn't very noticeable at all, but I still felt bad doing it. Good thing my springs were so stiff too, because if my truck had ANY suspension flex at ALL, my fenders/inner fenders would be ripped to shreds. For just on-road driving, 6" will clear narrow 38's, but I'd honestly overall suggest an 8" kit. By the way, get new springs. I used blocks and an add-a-leaf in the rear of mine, and it rides so hard that it broke the add-a-leaf in half. I'm assuming something is wrong.
