35s vs 37s

[BRAPPPP]

i had 37s for about 10K miles. i LOVED them at first, but then they started rubbing all over the place. i tried boatecs and failed. i got REALLY disappointed and went back to stock fenders and back down to 35s. i hated that decision but its more practical for me. my truck ran well with 37s. you could feel them in the petal a little, but like mentioned above these trucks are geared well. The only thing i didnt like on the 37s (i think my super skinny fuel trophys made this) is that with that much sidewall sometimes it felt really spongy. you could feel the truck sway alot more on the highway especially in wind. but a few miles and it became normal. I would have loved to keep the 37s, but the boatecs were pure trash, and i actually wanted to run my truck. i didnt have any problems this weekend at TRR. i didnt miss my 37s at all.

What was the issue with the boatecs?

They fit like pure garbage. apparently there were a few different molds they have been trying, and mine were from a bad mold? either way, it was enough to **** me off.

That's unfortunate. You could always go with glassworks

Did you run liners with the Boatechs ?

 

[linexsa]

I ran the ADD liners. Those were impressive. loved the liners, but the fenders were another story. Those liners were built to take a beating. Glassworks is a good company and i saw a few of those this weekend. im sure they will fit better, but im once bit twice shy. atleast for now.

So if it weren't for the fenders you would have never went back to 35s. The decrease in acceleration and street performance is not significant enough to make you switch back to 35s

im in the prcess of 37's but i can say im still happy with the performance eith 37's on. just gatta do some trimming to the stock fender and it should hold

I should mention, I'm still running stock fenders. I've modified them and you can check out this out for further info:http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f25/additional-info-running-37s-stock-fenders-28733/

You'll need to pound down the pinch welds as well. There are tons of threads on that if you search for it. You'll have to do that irregardless of going to aftermarket fenders.

Not to derail this thread but anyone know a good place to buy 37" BFG AT's?

Didn't several of the folks running 37's with glass works have some issues with breaking/dislodging fenders? I personally saw three trucks with issues, two with fenders coming off and one with spider webbing in the paint from the hits. Nope, I will stay with 35's, we ran great with 35's and stage 4+
