My 35 in BFG Muds fit fine with stock wheels with only 2.5in leveling springs so I can't imagine having problems with 37 at 6in with the right wheels. In case others in the fourm don't know what I'm talking about , see Dan's truck photos on the link provided.

The wheels are 8.5" wide. I don't know what the backspacing is on them. I pulled into Les Schwab, asked them what they could do for me, and wrote a check. They stick out a little further than I like, but they looked so good I couldn't refuse.

Are you guys calcualting your fuel mileage by hand or on the overhead? Is your speedo calibrated for 37"s? My speedo is calibrated by the dealer, and dead on. My overhead reads 18 mpg, but hand calc it is 15.5. I know the earlier CTD gets better fuel mileage, but I also know from experience the jump from a 35" to a 37" is very hard on a truck with the parameters of power, handling, and fuel consumption.
