My truck with 37s (photoshopped)

Okay, so I finally got the photo up... here it is... I drove my truck up on blocks that would account for dropping to a 2" level kit, adding a 3" body lift, adding 37" tires... and then my brother photoshopped the 37's on there for me

yeh im sure he can stuff 37's under there with that combo, but turning is gonna be pointless.

the frame is only gonna be 2" higher in the front, The few people that do 2.5" leveling kit and 35's report rubbing on the frame. He's going with a 2" leveling kit and 3" body lift.

so really the frame is only moving 2" up. the body is moving a total of 5 so he shouldnt have much problems with the body but i bet he wont be turning too sharp. If he reports no rubbing or slight rubbing ill call BS on it.

good luck, you would be happier with 35's

I've seen 37's under just a rancho and it looked ok, stuffed just like 35's and a leveling kit

Remember that guy who had posted his dad's truck on 37x12.50-17's on the stock chrome 17's

I think you should try the photoshop with a better picture.

lol...

ya i remember that xlt with 37s and a level kit - no way he didnt rub when turning...

But ya, the guy at the truck shop said with my stock 20s theyd definitly fit under there, but they'd be rubbing the frame when I turn.... he advised that I go with 35s... but it was still nice to think I could fit 37s

I'd like to see you pull that one off man. I really don't think you could do it w/out rubbing but even if you can I don't think it's going to look very good. Not to mention that 37's are going to strain your tranny if you don't regear. Don't forget to include the cost of changing your ball joints too. Mine were starting to get sloppy w/ only 12K miles from running the 35's and a 2" leveler.

Need to use a better photo. Those look like 35s if anything.
