New to forum, 37" tire questions

[ynot9512]

Thank you for your time guys and gals.

After scouring the thread for a while, I still do not have a definitive answer on my tire question. I am torn about tires, 35” or 37”? Will my truck turn 37” without major problems?

I am fixin to lift my 13’ 5.7 HEMI 2x4 with Maxtrac 7” plus blistein shocks. I am unsure where I will end up in overall height, but having the ability to raise and lower a bit seems good enough. Also, I will be adding a throttle body, intake and programmer to compensate for the tires. Currently I am planning on keeping my factory wheels, because I like them. Maxtrac said I should be able to stay with my factory wheels but I am getting 1.5” hub centric spacers just incase.

So, will my Ram run 37” without major problems, If I am not interested in changing gears or axels?

do you have the 6spd, or 8spd ?

37's will cause your truck to be a dog pretty easy. at a minimum you should have 3.92's

Make sure you get BORA adaptors (spacers)! They're the best out there and are custom made for your truck! Rated at 30,000 lbs so you don't need to worry about them breaking on you!

I have the 6 speed tranny. Thanks for the advice on BORA, I was going with another brand. So basically I need to stick with 35"? It will save me some $$ but I know after a bit, I will have wished I went with the 37"

35's look ok with 6'' lift. any higher then that they would look silly.

if you have 3.55's then I personally wouldnt even consider 37's an option. Going 35's you're gonna feel a drop in power, but not as bad.

I agree. I reckon I will stick with 35's until I can get around to bigger mods.
