Any Regret Going Moving To 37"s?

[121x]

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

Working this question backwards, for 85% on road driving why do you want 37's?

Looks. And a bit more tire radius to bridge pot holes.

To me, there would be a nearly negligible effect on both counts... However, YMMV..

You can see my thoughts doing the same recently in the Installed 37's Thread here

The looks are 99% percent of it, the cons of it outweigh the pro's for 95% of anything a normal Raptor will encounter. With that said, I'm leaving my 37's on for the time being as they do look bada$$. If another MFG ever releases a true 35" tire that is properly speed rated and not 10-ply I'd likely go back though.

37s FTW

if it concerns you , you should just get 37's , if it doesn't concern you at all you should be fine with 35's if that makes sense

I came from a 37" gen 2, and got 37 gen 3. Wheels I bought had 37x13.5x18 Toyo MT so its noisy but not bad and it goes away after you get used to it in 2-3 weeks.

I prefer the looks, comfort over MPG and acceleration ETC.

BTW it's a daily and im on the road 90/10

I think the person you need to ask is the Great Pumpkin. He’s an expert in the 35 vs 37 debate, lol.

Think you got it backwards. If there’re any concerns/doubts, stick w/ the 35s. If not, knock yourself out & dive right in!

35s for mpg and performance
37s for looks

No judgement zone.
