2024 801a - Road to 37s

[GU3R086]

I hope so too, but I wouldn’t want to run a load range F tire on a Raptor. Unless you want to switch to 18” wheels, the load range C are 2026.

Hahaha yup. This is true.

Yeah, not only would the ride suffer tremendously, the F’s would probably add at least 20 lbs per corner.

You wont even come close to rubbing with 37" K02s on the stock wheels with no level. I ran that setup on my 2024 for a while and took the truck off-road with no problems.

I installed the Eibach 1" front level springs but next year I am going to swap them out for the Eibach pro kit or the Geiser kit.

This would be my preferred method no doubt.

Not all 37x12.5x17 tires are the same.

I'm running AT3 XLTs. They are not as wide as the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the same size.
Below picture shows the difference.

A 37 C load KO2 is also narrower than some of the other 37" out there.
IIRC, closer to stock offset is better, as the further in the wheel/tire is, it keeps it away from the fender at full tuck.

Ford didn’t decrease travel on the 37 trucks for no reason. If you truly bottom it out, clearance is tight as is. This post here shows exactly why https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/installed-37s-on-gen3-35-raptor-no-issues.87003/post-2017518

A static clearance test isn’t perfect either though. When you see those videos where it looks like the bumper is bouncing around a lot (mostly people jumping), it’s not the bumper moving, it’s the whole body. Real world wheel clearance can be even lower than static clearance.

Factory 37’s (0 offset wheels) are kinda skinny looking. Truck sure does ride well however. Super cushy.

They are kinda skinny....lol Overall keeping the weight down and making the tire easier to tuck sure has its advantages.

What’s making you want to swap springs if nothing rubs?

Thanks for the info!!

Yea this is actually my worry. Prob would keep my OE wheels or closer to OE offset if I bump up.

Good things to ponder here.
