How to: Running 37x14.50"s on your SVT Raptor...?

[RajunCajun37]

^^^ you should be fine depending on your rim offset.... I am running mid perch and 37's on my stock rims with no rubbing at all with street driving.

you guys gotta drive around New Orleans
suspension is nearly full travel with me just running to wal-mart
I live on the levee and drive over humps and bumps often
old train crossings and broken concrete plus shifted bridges are everywhere
everyone hits the brakes before broken road ways and I hit the gas, I'm sorry...37's are not in my future cause I don't wanna hit the brakes for bridges with 25 degree raised angles

. I'm a little bit worried due to the mid perch softness and sway bar off as well. I know how our roads can be for sure around here. Thanks for that reminder too by the way.
Boatec's "supposed" to be shipping out early next week via a convo I had with boatec Monday. . So I'm thinking in 2weeks tops. . I might just hold off until then instead and throwing the NV's/37's in my garage...

But 37's make all bumps and dips smaller, in comparison to 35's

I almost fully compress the suspension right now on 35's. 37" fully compressed might fit with some trimming. BUT, there's no way I can switch lanes and hit the jumps on 37's. In other words a hard bump while turning will probably damage the tire or truck. Don't wanna drive like an old man while owning a BAJA truck.

Removing the splash/weather guards is a no no due to standing water here in NOLA. We have standing puddles of water days after a hard rain. I hit these puddles HARD and I nail the gas when the roads get crappy.

The truck is balls out 24/7. I rarely get passed and never on bad terrain. If a clown tailgates the Raptor I lead them straight into the monster potholes, huge dips and killer bumps. I would hate to loose my prowlness due to over sized and heavy 37" tires. The price and weight steer me away and loosing drive-ability is just plain wrong.

If your driving conditions allow huge ass tires then so be it. Hope you guys don't re-post complaints about damage or loss of power.

Nope----mine set up like it is will run 135 never pushed it harder and I drive places that make NOLA look like a 8 lane new paved highway.

Lol @ 37's being big ass tires.

 

[RajunCajun37]

[bstoner59]

I still have stock fender liners and fender with my 37"s

 

[pat'sRAPTOR]
