Really? Maybe with your wheels.
I sure am. I'll get you some close ups like i said, its just been a really busy week for me and i dont get off work till after dark. And no, i dont rub on the fender or control arms. Ive checked.
Thats not true at all.
37s will fit at stock hieght/2" spacer(and rub on hard articulation), and on a 3"-4" lift will fit fine with minimal rubbing. With stock wheels, rub on the control arms at FULL lock, but no where else. And H2s seem to be the ticket for no rubbing(or similar backspacing/width)
I ran 37s with a 4" lift with no issues, and Boz is doing the same...

I run 37's with a 13.50 tire, and no rubs at all. I did have to pull of the front valence. I wish I knew how to post more pics, can anyone explain. Everytime they say the pics are too big.

Sure you dont want to try 39.5" Iroks on 4.5" lift.
I ran it like ths for 2 months over the winter. I have to change my driving style a little but it was fun. A little fender triming is all it would take to run these.

37s w 3" springs. You said you wanted some pics.
thinking of 40s next time.
back in the day with 35s on stock suspension, like 2000 miles on the truck.
Oh how things have changed. Just felt like posting some pics. Especially since there were comments about 37s needing 6" of lift. Its all about wheels and backspacing.
I did do some fender trimming to fit the weld wheels I ran for about a year. The Stock and H2 wheels required very little fender mods.

The thing you have to consider is if you run mud flaps, you won't clear 37" with even 6" of lift. Also IMO if you need to trim or remove anything, the tires are considered to NOT fit because you wouldn't want someone getting the idea they can run that combo. And trust me, after going 3 months with only half of my turning radius it is not something you want to try and live with, it makes it nearly impossible to back up a trailer and a million years to get into parking stalls. And if your truck is loaded down rubbing will only get worse.

I have full turning radius and full suspension cycling up front. I moved teh lower fender back about 1/2 inch. Let me know if you can see it and tell it happened.
I have had 37s on now for 2-3 years, no big deal.
If I had put on 1/2 in longer control arms, I would not of needed to mess with the fenders.
Rubbing and contact with fenders has more to do with wheel backspacing than with lift on these trucks. Many many threads on this. What ever you do don't use 4.5" BS wheels, you will rub with 33s.

I dont have them any more. I sold them to someone on the board here. They were either the Renegades of the EVO 8, not sure now, it will come to me.
Thanks, it does very well. Goes fast off road, rides nice in town, and I think not to overdone, LOL.
I have added a tiregate to the back. It did two things for me: I now can carry a full size spare easily, and I can see out the tailgate making sure I dont backup over a civic behind me.
