Perfomance Loss Noticed From 35's to 37's? And Upgrades Needed?

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

So does this guy, Nick.

I completely missed that in his post. Thanks, Rich.

Then yeah, I would definitely upgrade the driveshaft as well. I also know that Skyler had custom traction bars made for her truck as well to eliminate the axle hop.

Some HD progressive leaf springs will also help axle wrap

She's running Toyo M/T's which is a heavy tire. A little more than 90 pounds per tire. BFG A/T's are 68 lbs. May be something to keep in mind.
I run 37" BFG A/T's, don't have a S/C and don't notice much difference in performance.

Thanks Ranger. What adjustments did you make to run those without rubbing? Mid-perch, pinch welds?

 

[RangerRob]

when I first put the 37s on I was at mid-perch. Shortly after I pounded down the pinch welds and installed Fox 3.0s with Glassworks front fenders. While the truck was at mid-perch the 37s did rub a bit on the back side of the fender liner. Hope that helps.

Helpful. Ranger, you running stock wheels?

Why the switch to 37's?

 

[RangerRob]

No, I have Methods. These trucks should have came with 37s imo, and they are better off-road.
