So i'm looking to possibly go to a 37 inch tire on my 2018 Scab. Was gonna start with the SVC CAS system to level it out since i've read quite a few good comments. My question, I have the black beadlock capable wheels and not looking to fork out any cash on new wheels at the moment. Can I put a 37 inch tire (somehting like a KO2) on my current "OEM" Wheels. And if so, does that help with any possible rubbing that might of occurred with different wheels? And would you suggest new deavers for someone that really isn't gonna be pushing the truck in the woods or desert. This is my daily driver and i don't wheel other than backroad driving to fishing and biking spots. Just wanted a bigger tire. What would be my optimal setup for adding 37's to a truck that isn't really gonna be pushed to its actual capabilities any time soon if at all.

side note(if you can't tell by the questions)...i'm not very mechanically inclined so be as exact and as harsh as you feel you need to be...

I've always had Wranglers prior to my raptor with one stop off in a Hummer H3T(the pickup version of the H3)...The raptor has always been my dream vehicle and i finally was able to get one this year after getting a great trade in price on my last Wrangler. I do have the MPT tune currently on the truck and hope to add an upgraded intercooler soon.

Also if there is anyone in the Western Ohio area that knows of a shop that they would trust to work on a Raptor, i would appreciate any contacts.

pay no mind to jake, he's canadian.

I think you'll be fine if you do the cas, however, I dont think you'll be able to swing 37s on the stock wheels. There are plenty of wheels out there that arent too spendy (200 a wheel ) that you can switch to.

I've yet to see/hear someone running 37s on the stockers, but then again, I dont pay attention much. :p

Congrats on your dream truck.

P.S.- Even on-road only, you'll love what deavers do for the truck. jus sayin.

if it were me ( and I did the same exact thing before I went all-out on my truck), I'd do the +3s.

Why?

1. you'll want the extra height if you decide to get a little sporty with 37s.

2. If you dont like how high it is, you can always run an extended shackle to bring the back down an inch, then adjust the front to level it.

If you go with a +2, the only way to get the extra inch in height is to either have deaver re-arch the springs, or buy a new set of +3s.

I just installed 37 toyo MT I have the RPG adjustable perch and set the height to the middle I think its 2" and 37s fit perfectly I had to do minor plastic trimiming (very monor) you can not even tell the plastic was trimmed, I already take it offroad and no rubbing or issues
