Trying to see if anyone is running 37s with a leveling kit. I read that Dwiggs has them with no lift but I'm unsure of his rim combo.

Many posts say you can't run a 35" tire without a leveling kit, but I ran H2 BFG (closer to a 34") without any issues.

I leveled the truck and now dwarf the 35" BFGs and now consider 37s as an option.

Stock.



Leveled/Ride Rites.

 

I just installed a Goodyear Wrangler GS-A 37X12.50X17 on stock wheels with no lift to drop the RPM at highway speed. It dropped from 2,100 RPM @ 65 MPH to about 1,800 RPM. The only place it rubs is on the control arm @ full lock but no amount of lift will help you there unless you do a lift and changed wheel.

 

XLR8R and kawairam both ran 37s on stock trucks, kawai with stock wheels I believe...

Theres also a few other guys that have ran 37s with no lift or a leveling kit.

With the stock wheels, I think the wheels are in far enough that they wont contact the fender opening/bumper when turning(but rub on the control arms at full lock), but I would think with H2s pushing the wheel/tire out 1/2" that you might be close to rubbing on the back of the fender/rear bumper...

If you like the BFGs you may consider sticking with them for the 37s, to run a 12.5" tire, vs a 13.5 tire...
BFGs would also be 36.6 tall vs say a Toyo MT being 37(and 14.6 width) or 36.5/14.2 for the Toyo ATs...

 

I have 3" springs and BFG 37s MTs on H2s.

I needed to trim my fenders to eliminate the fender contact. Search on my user name and you will find pics of what I did. Additionally I wanted to ensure no contact through full articulation, not just static.

With stock wheels and 37s I had to much control arm rub for me to be comfortable. I also had fender contact, needed to trim the lower fenders for that as well.

I also ran bfg 35 MTs with no lift with control arm rubbing at full lock...

 

In my opinion, your truck w/ leveling kit doesn't dwarf the 35's by any means. The truck looks good and will function if you take it off road. You put 37's on it, and you will be crunching fenders if there is any flex and your not going perfectly straight. Have you ever seen what happens to your fender/door when all that engine weight is supported by your fender... good luck opening your door.
To each his own though. If your truck is NEVER going to go off road, and you are carefull when backing up, you should be OK

 

This truck won't see much offroad. Only dirt roads towing my truggy to the trailheads.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at a load E rating. Maybe I'll try the 35" Toyos if I can't get a place to let me test fit.

 

I flexed out with the 37" and got no body rub. They were at about half-tread, so a new tire might be a different story. Stock wheels are probably the only way I could fit my 37"s without a lil fender contact. The 37" Goodyear MT/R is E rated. I really liked them in the 35" size, and if I could afford them that's what I'd be running.

 

With inspiration from XLR8R and Kawiram, I decided that it could be done. I went with 37" BFG KM2's and with around 2500 miles, I only get control arm rub at full lock. I have tried to make them rub fenders or bumper and can't make it happen. This is with stock wheels and a 2" leveling spacer. Pics in gallery.

 

I like those Krawler look-a-likes but only D rated. Have you had any issues with death wobble?

I had 35" MT/Rs on my Chevy and loved them. They are just crazy expensive in the 37/17 size. Price gouging IMO.

Has anyone tried on H2s? With the difference BS I'd expect less likelihood at rubbing the control arm, right?

 

Go NIKE, man...

Just Do It!



Hey Brett - how'd that SSSSS install go?

 

If you turn your wheel and stuff that tire your going to hear bad things. I don't care what you guys say.....

If your tires arent rubbing your NOT doin much more than a dirt road.

I have 35x13.5x18 and I can get mine to touch.

 

What width/backspacing on your wheels?
Thats what really makes tires rub, too little backspacing(sticks out), and wider wheels along with them sticking out more 9, 10" wide...

 

What are your rim specs?

Same thing with me and my Chevy. I could rub 35x12.50 with 9.5" lift and my packspacing was perfect while other's are stuffing 40s. I just wheeled the the truck hard. Now it'll be cut up and trailered everywhere. The goal of the Dodge is to keep it purty and reliable.

 

XLR8R- Please post some pics of your wheel as you turn your wheels, there's no way that set up doesn't rub, there's only a couple of inch clearance with the wheels straight

 

Im in the same boat. Im wanting a front bumper and winch so that is hurting my descision cause it will sag. if I got with a 3" lift and 37" BFG's I think on stock wheels I will have the best bet. Due to them not measuring. ANd the
3" to help with sag with the bumper and winch.
