You can fit 37's w/ stock wheels or 6" of Backspacing w/ 8.5" wide wheel. You will need the 1/2" longer control arms for the front and be fine there, but if your going to cycle your suspension offroad. The rear is the problem. I know w/ KORE's rear full leafs you will hit the front of your rear fender. So glass will be in order. Carli leafs you will not run into that problem because of the center pin sits back. Thurens leaf I believe you will be OK also. Lorenz leafs are not constructed all that good for off road. The pins in the rear fulls that hold the leafs together w/ the spacer pads are spaced too far apart and is prone to cracking (offroading hard).

You can clear 37s up front with factory arms if you go with a "small" 37 and the right wheel.
