I second that question with 37's.. I'm rubbing in the rear now with stock tires... I had a guy with a 2019 that had 37's and he tore a chunk of aluminum off from his wheel well. Like tore it completely off and we had to hammer it down so it wouldn't slice up the tires..

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

37”s make the truck look more badass & more capable, until you get a flat tire on or off road & unless you’re carrying em in the bed like a Baja champ you’ll be calling triple A or the local tow truck. And realiZe- it actually makes the truck LESS capable & a simple event like a flat proves it. Even if you wanna get around that & Carrh a spare in the bed now you’re not taking up cargo space adding weight & possibly making it impossible to close a tonneau.

That alone would do it for me.
Umm a Tonneau cover on a Raptor?
A pretty common thing for us SoCal/desert/baja guys is too add some.sort of rack in the rear for dual spares. I've blown two tires at the same time off the beaten path in Baja (tres hermanos) that I'll forever carry dual spares when off roading. So 37s do have their advantages but their is some disadvantages also. The biggest thing for me is killing racks. I'd like to know what ZombieKiller has done about rack issues as I dont want to be changing those out especially off road.

Just threw on 37s BFG KO2 D rated 8 ply on a gen 1. Loving the look of the truck now, like a completely different beast (miniMegaRaptor)! The OEM size 315/70r17 KO3 F rated 14 ply seemed smaller actually than the same size KO2 E rated and KO3 rode too stiff for me in that size tire. Though I could tell the KO3 is a superior tire. I Will run ko3 37 next if they still the 36.5” size actual dimension
