Procomp Stage 2 with 37's

I have been told that with my stage 2 PC with the coilovers cranked all the way up that i should be able to fit 37's. I currently have 325/65/18 on 5" backspacing 18x9 Diesels and it looks as if they would rub on the rear of the front fender. Anyone have this setup running 37's? I have thought of possibly using a 1" levelling block in the front to get that extra bit of lift if needed. I do not want a body lift.

Tires will be Toyo MT 37/13.5/18 and have narrowed it down to XD Cranks in black or ATX Thugs. Both are 5" backspacing.

I think you can fit 37's if you stay with a 37x12.50. That extra inch of width will cause problems I think.

Then I guess I will have to get that extra inch of lift. After having 35/13.5 tires on it now I think the 37/12.5 will look too skinny.

Dude, I'm wondering the same thing, I've got the stage 2 as well. I've been asking questions all the while when I found I could fit 37's by crankin the coilovers. The only way to find out is do it yourself. In the summer i'll be getting some 37's, but if you find out beforehand, post it. These tires aren't 37X13.5's, they are 355/60's on a 20's. That calculates to a 36.8/14. After you saying they might rub on the rear of the front wheel well, that kind of scares me.

Good luck man, and don't be a ghost if you get them.

As the previous owner- all i can say is D***!

Looks good. Do they rub? On my f250 I ziptied the fenders back for additional clearance to cram some of them badboys on there. Did you have to add the spacer?

They just barely rub at full turn on the front and back. The 1" spacer is not in yet. I'm going to try to trim a little and possibly get another few turns on the coilovers first.

FYI for anyone wanting to install a leveling kit on top of a Procomp Stage 2 coilover, the threads on the coilover are different than the threads on the factory strut bolts. Meaning the upper mounting bolt extensions will not fit. Nothing a lathe and tap can't handle though.

Won't give enough lift. Additionally with the spacer I can have some room to adjust if needed.
