Yet another 37" Tire Thread

[factive]

Don't be cheap ad just get fenders with mid perch or get a set of 3.0 shocks since you'll be doing some heavy off road it'll help a lot! And have the 3.0's set between mid perch and too perch this will also help clear the 37's!

Yeah, true. I'm not cheaping out on this thing. At all. sent you guys (RPG) an email last week asking about buying stage 4+ and a bunch of other goodies.

I just installed 37" General Grabbers Red Label Race on my '14 SE beadlocks (with Beauties installed).

Suspension all stock with front set to mid-perch.

-Rears clear perfectly fine with tons of room to spare.
-Driver side front clears with 1/8" or less clearance to the upper control arm.
-Passenger side front touches with the rubber boot against tire from upper control arm. However can drive around without any damage to the boot yet...

This is with suspension not having been aligned after mid perch mod. Hoping that alignment will help - if not will try a 1/4" wheel spacer



EDIT: don't know about the impact on clearance with any sort of articulation yet - might be ok - might not

You have pics of this setup?

Nothing is written in stone about this topic, but here's my understanding.

• If you want to run any brand 37" tires and want to run the truck hard in the dirt, you definitely need to hammer/trim back the pinch weld.
• If you want to run BFG All-Terrain 37" tires on OEM wheels, you might be able to get away with only trimming the pinch weld.
• If you want to run BFG All-Terrain 37" tires w/ aftermarket wheels (less backspace than OEM), you'll probably have to do some minor trimming on your fenders, flares, and fender liners or get aftermarket fenders/liners.
• If you want to run any other 37" tire than a BFG AT, you'll have to do all of the above with a little more modification to each or get aftermarket fenders/liners.

I think that sums it up pretty good.

EDIT: Netix's truck w/ 39" tires in the photo above is a POS... ball joint spacers... major mods to the firewall... and what not to achieve enough lift to clear those tires. You said you didn't want to screw up your truck to clear 37" tires, so I don't suggest you go the route he did. That's just my opinion.

Excellent..........why don't we make this a sticky so folks won't keep asking and posting more threads on this.
