Any Regret Going Moving To 37"s?

[121x]

You'll get a lot more tittie flashing and hanging ***** with 37's.

Okay, that just sealed it for me!! 37's it is!

Thanks for all the replies guys. Based on the feedback I have decided to continue forward with the 37's. I am willing to sacrifice a bit of MPG for the looks. Not super concerned about the minor acceleration hit, it wont make enough of a difference to me. I also did read through forum member, pnwobrigade's thoughts and experience on the matter and appreciate the perspective. Coming from a 250 Tremor, I had a certain style in mind I wanted to achieve with this truck. Just wanted to make sure I was not going to see some drastic unfavourable differences as I was not aware of. 37's with 1.5" level it will be.

Now I just need to determine tire. I will start a different thread on that one.

Thanks again guys!

pretty sure there’s already one floating around here.…

I searched and did not find it. I found a wheel / tire thread on styles but not a tire comparison one. I may have missed it though. If you happen to know it, please let me know.

Asking if there is any regret going to 37s is like asking if there is any regret standing up to pee.

Have a 35" package and preparing to update to 37"s with a 1.5" front level. Undecided whether I will go 17/18" or 20" wheels. Does anyone regret going from 35's to 37's as a daily driver for 85% on road driving? Things like ride comfort, changed shift points, fuel mileage, etc.?

Bit concerned on the MPG change for one. Not sure if it is significant or not. I did not buy the Raptor for mileage. Heck, I came from an F250 Tremor for comparison. By the same token I do not want to needlessly **** away advantages of the Raptor over the 3/4 ton, fuel efficiency being one. But if the loss is maybe 1.5mpg (is it?), are the benefits of the 37"s worth the hit for mainly on-road driving? I drive a lot of gravel roads that get pretty beat up with potholes throughout the year. One of the reasons I opted for a Raptor. The capabilities are already there. Second concern is, are the shift points affected by the increased weight? I would suspect the factory 37" package is tuned for the larger tires? Not sure if there is much if any perceivable difference. Comments?

Just want to sanity check before I drop 5k and regret it. Thought I would check with guys who have already done it and may have shared some of the same concerns.

Looking to do something within the next 2 weeks (a timeline I set for myself to force me not to procrastinate!)

Thanks

@ 6k miles I averaged 15.5 mpg in my 35. @ 4k miles Im getting 14.5 in my 37. I have a pretty heavy foot. All things considered the highway ride is a bit better in the 35 IMO, and the offroad ride is better in the 37. Looks and acceleration are not my primary reasons for ownership. I like the 37 marginally better, so it comes down to what 5k is worth to you. I wish my 37 was Iconic (like my 35).

You ever fallen down standing up to pee?

YOLO. At the end of it all who cares do what you want everyone is gonna have a different opinion.

37s are only for looks. Everything else about the truck is worse when you go 37s. When I switched over I instantly felt like the transmission was hunting more, acceleration worse, braking slower, mpg down, etc etc. Not worth it IMO

For the sake of argument - what would be the recommendation for a true 35, 35.5/36 instead of a 37?
