What do you think about putting 37's on the back and keeping 35's on the front of my truck. I no it used to be wut 2wd used to do but im not sure about doing it on a 4wd. Not only does it look a little funny but would the 4wd be affected when engaged because of the gearing

Ever engage your 4x4 and you'll be replacing your transfer case. Don't do it.

RIght. Running different height tires on the front and rear of a 4x4 will cause your transfer case to bind up and break.

Yeah, that will work but I wouldn't do it. You won't be able to rotate your tires properly and that will shorten your treadlife. There is no reason to do it.

The only dumb questions are the ones that aren't asked...

...especially if you would've pulled the truck into 4x4 only to hear the sick crunch of your transfer case grenading!

Stick with the same size on all 4 corners.
