gpelleran · Jan 7, 2015

Sweet looking truck

Do you have stock gears? Everything else on the drivetrain stock? We have a similar truck and I was talked out of putting 37's on by my 4wd shop. They said they are a bit too big/heavy for stock components on a 1500. I could probably fit them on the zone 6" lift I have.

All gearing and drivetrain is stock. I did a lot of research on running 37's with the stock gearing only heard very few complaints. Honestly, my opinion it obviously lost some power but has absolutely no problem turning the tires what so ever. Like I said of course you're going to lose some power but it still has its *****! If i could go back and choose again between 35's and 37's I would still go with 37's. You should have zero problem clearing 37's. I do plan on re gearing though to have more torque probably some time in the summer.

just put the rough country on mine. thanks for the info! wouldn't have thought of 17s. definitely worth a look into.

how is the install? Is everything reversible ? Im thinking of buying this lift for my 14 but dont want to do any cutting and welding. I used to be ASE certified and have access to a fully equipped shop but dont want to take up a bay for more than the weekend

gpelleran · Jan 8, 2015

Thanks, i definitely wanted to go for the more tire and less rim look..i was a bit nervous at first what the outcome was going to look like but i love it. it turned out great and am very satisfied. i definitely recommend rcx suspension lift all they're parts seem very will put together and durable. As for being reversible haha id say to an extent my lift required no welding but did require cutting of the front and rear cross member.

The lift process really isn't too bad just takes some time and a lot of patience. Lol. I'd say it took about 12-13 hours of work for me and two buddies to get it done. I've read on some forums though it's taken less, about the same as me and even longer. So I suppose it really depends on quickly you are moving and how many problems you run into.

Thats the RCX 6" suspension lift? hmm. It looks lower for some reason, the 37s look stuffed. Reason why im asking is cause i have a Zone 6" lift and just trying to compare. I went with oversized 35s though. What kind of gears do you have? and also what kind of mileage you getting now with the 37s?

RamED · Jan 9, 2015

I really wish they made a 36" 12.50 readily more available in popular tires/treads. Does anyone if there is a metric size 36" 12.50 or a little wider that is a popular tire (Nitto/Toyo/etc)??

gpelleran · Jan 9, 2015

Here is my output on the looks of it sitting a little lower. Am i right? i have not a clue lol but i feel as if trucks that come with 20 inch rims sit higher stock then the trucks that come with 17 inch rims like mine for instance..am i right i don't know that is just a theory i have. Also, i see you're running bilsteins with your truck which would definitely change mine if i had the shock set up...my truck is two inches lower in the front then the rear..annoying. i play on buying the 5100's soon. i do think it doesn't look as high also just because it is stuffed now.

And to RamED i do know they make a 355x60r20 but I'm not sure if its very common and its like 14 inches wide I'm pretty sure lol but that comes out to about a 36 inch tire in metric.

gpelleran · Jan 9, 2015

my gears are 3.92 I'm pretty sure too by the way and I'm not getting **** compared to what i used to for gas mileage...probably 10 maybe 11

draken · Jan 10, 2015

That makes sense, i have no idea about stock height for different rim sizes. You should definitely put some bilsteins up front to level her out, totally different look an looks great.
