37's

on my truck I have a 3 inch bl, 4 inch suspension lift, 2 inch aal and maxed t bars. I am just wondering what your opinion is of running 37's? does anyone know if they will fit? I almost positive i can fit a 12.50 but any help would be appreciated
thanks

they were 13.50s but I also had a stepside and didnt wheel the truck..if you plan on doing some wheeling..DONT get 37s..if you just want looks you can get em but you will probably rub with any flex and might rub lock to lock..

I'm not sure about the 37's, but can you post a few pics up of your double lifted truck on 33's?

Ive always been told over 35's on a ranger meant alot of breakage... but i guess that would be aimed towards someone who'd be wheeling with 37's.

you can run them, should you. No IMO because 35's are already pushing ranger suspensions to the max

that was on 37's and super saggy bars it would look alot better now but im on 35's ;-( oh well, you can definetly wheel it if your not retarted just be careful, i never broke anything but i did wear out some ball joints much faster, even way undergeared i could get up and go and still get around 16-17 on the highway, did i mention how awsome 37's are on the beach?? but if your going to drive your truck as a dd stick with 35's youll be happy you did

35s are really pushing the limits if you're locked on stock drive line components and actually push the truck.

Jacob is/was real good at knowing when he ripped the flares off and popping them back on at camp lol

If you do go up to 37's you have to get a 17 inch wheel. I think it makes it look so much better.

to an extent, if you air down a lot then it'll be more unstable. 37s on a 17 isn't bad, and it definitely looks better. In theory it should be the same sidewall as a 35 on a 15.
