37s without regear

[Trailmaker]

Here are some pics. After I calculated with the 4.56 gears and 37's I'm sitting around 4.11 gear with the set up I'm running. The tires I'm using are the trail Grappler by Nitto 37x12.50R20LT

Thanks for the pictures. The rim choice is very nice.
Any regrets on the tire choice. Towing is still ok? Would you prefer a different brand or are those perfect? Judging on the miles you already put on the tires, how many miles do you see getting out of them? Will/have you go/gone wheelin’ ?

NP, I like the tires tow good but I also do not pull anything crazy heavy like a fifth wheel either. I'll probably will get around 50,000 out of the tires rotating every 5,000. No off roading for this one did it in my 11 1500 and after 2 front drive shafts gone and all new wheel bearings gets way to expensive for an every day driver. I bought a RZR 1000 and I beat the crap out of that now and I can launch it of some hills lol without breaking it.

Thanks for the information.
I could live with 50k. I was hoping for 35k on a set.

Using your preferences, I would want Over Drive to compensate in the tranny. So when not towing or off roading the final ratio to the wheels is balanced. OD can always be turned off.

Thats the problem. In overdrive at 55 or 60 the truck can hardly keep up without wanting to downshift. I never hit freeways so most of my driving is in 55mph zones. I would like the overdrive gear to be in a good

That’s what the OP needs 37x13.5. That might force a re-gear. Milgator got those on his truck. I bet that a 100lb tire!

Heck yea! I have read some good reviews on those tires.

With that height lift you should have went straight to 40’s lol

We will see how the 37" does. From what I understand 40" requires fender flares and cutting. I like aev's flare kit but dont like the price tag. I also like the angled look of fab 4, and bushwacker is a possibility. When I need new tires I'll probably go the flare route and 40" but I'm sure that will require a regear.. thoughts people?

also olyer I'm not sure if you saw what tire those are, but they are milestar Patagonia m/t.

Yes to the regear, for sure. Also recommend steering and brake upgrades.

And yes, the patagonias... heard good things about them.

I curious about the rough country lift you have. And how well it holds up. The PW guys will give you a lot of grief about RC. I had a few RC things on some or my builds and it did not fail me. Hopefully we will get to see those new tires go to work soon.

Steering brace, stabilizer, track bar, and drag link are next. We will see about the brakes. At least a pad upgrade over stock for sure. I'm an EBC fan since my sportbike day

I know in the past they had some issues. We shall see.

Speaking of brakes, this truck has sub par brakes. I thought it was a warranty issue but I read it’s a 2500 issue.

That’s funny. He must’ve wrecked his truck and still have 90% tread left.
