I want to run 37's on my 02 screw 4x4. I have a couple of questions:

I know that I will need a lift kit, I was going to use a RCD or a Fabtech and couple that w/ a 3" PA body lift. I am planning on 4.88 gears as well.

1. Will the stock unit bearing hubs be up to the stress of a 37? I plan on 37x12.50x17 BFG AT KO or KM2'S havent decided on the muds or all terrains yet

2. I plan on a 17x9 wheel AR atx artillary in chrome or MT classic 2s in the same size

3. I know a steering stabilizer would be a good idea which one?

I have already done my balljoints w/ the MOOG greasable uppers/lowers

 

You are on the right track. Personally, I'd try to find a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of BS. Also, most of the steering stabilizers are the same. Personally, I have a Pro Comp.

 

i agree with wandell, i would go with the fabtech for a little extra clearance.

 

why a 17x10 wheel? is that b/c the tire I want to run is 12.50 wide or is it a looks thing? I have decided on tires I will be going w/ the BFG KM2s!!!!!!!! White letters OUT! I'm kinda old school with the letters thing!!

 

i think it looks better, makes the tires wider.

 

I agree. On our trucks a 10 inch wide wheel just looks better in my opinion.

 

just throwing this out there, with 9" of lift if you crank a bit you can fit 38's....

 

Just know that the km2's are a skinnier tire. I think it makes them look smaller. I mean its a really great tire and i have them on my stock wheel and they don't wear wierd at all. I was thinking that if maybe one of these days putting a BL on mine and throwing 37's on it but we'll see if gas keeps going up i'll be selling it. Altho i like the KM2's alot if i had it to do over i might go with Toyo MT's. The km2's are wearing pretty good though.

Thats 35's just crank and aal. They are taller but alot skinner than my old hankook atm 315's. THe hankooks brushed the lower valence, while the km2's have a ton of room bc its so much narrower

 

A few members have fit 38x15.50's with minor rubbing using a 6 inch lift, 3 inch body lift and 10 inch wheels with 4.5 inches of BS.
