Installed 37's on Gen3 35 Raptor - no issues.

I had zero issues fitting my 37 in the stock spare location fully inflated

Thanks! Other than the spare tire area, and the front bumpstop, sounds like all other comparisons in regards to tires (ie ride, shifting, acceleration) would be the same when comparing a 35 package with 37 tires and a 35 package and a 37 package.

Yes, 100% which is why a large percentage of people do the upgrade in terms of saving costs. However, the one thing you can't account for is the exclusivity and the potential higher resale of an actual 37PP package due to it's additional rarity. For most not an issue but some that difference is worth the cost of admission. I myself ordered a 37PP but my identical build instead came in as a 35 package because of hold backs so had a take it or leave it choice. Short of the graphics and $5,000 bump stops I have essentially the same truck now.

Joined the “37s on Gen 3 35 Raptor Club” today. No lift… yet. Eibach 1” front lift springs going in on Thursday.

Wheels are Method 305 17x8.5 +0 offset. Tires BFG K02 37x12.5.

Initial impression is the tires look strangely skinny. Maybe they need to grow on me. I’ve only owned the truck for 2 weeks and driven 800 miles so any difference in drivability, to me, is unnoticeable.

Will post more pics once springs go on.

ff to a good start, nice truck. You’ll really like the Eibachs, I have them in my truck, but am installing Race Series coilovers on Thursday as I wanted to even put the front and rear ride a bit. The eibachs rode great, but make the front firmer than the rear and it doesn’t feel as balanced as it could if the front were cushier and better dampened.

I have had the same thought, I kept my stock 37 KO2's and put Methods on. I love the look and the ride quality but I agree the tires seem kind of skinny. BFG's are known for not being true 37's. If you ran a Toyo or Nitto it would look wider but also be heavier. A nine inch wide wheel might help but hen you get into other rubbing issues potentially. Hopefully the look grows on you, it is a sharp looking truck. Enjoy her!

The BFGs are a bit skinny on my truck also, but they look good. I just wish Toyo or Falken make a C rated AT tire.

I loved the ride of the C rated KO2’s, but they are way too skinny looking. I switched them out for Nitto Recon Grapplers and they look wayyyyy better

Performance over looks for me however.

I went with the 37" BFG's for the C load rating, otherwise I would have went with an AT3W, or Ridge Grappler.
