Now that I'm really learning the boundaries, and pushing my suspension to it's limits (safely)... I don't think 37s would make much sense for off roading.

Granted I'm running 35psi ... I still feel like some evidence would be needed to convince me to go up to 37s, to have more benefits than looks.

Other than looks I agree 35's are better unless you have enough clearance for them at full flex(which most don't), I have 37's and love them but my truck is also a pavement princess

well when you throw the 3" body lift on it doesn't look right without 37s. you get about an inch more clearance. Meaningless? idk

i haven't had any issues flexing, but the terrain i offroad on isn't like im rock crawling lol

Buddy, Im kicking my ass for only coming home with those pics... There were huge obstacles, and then it started raining... I was keeping up with a jeep just fine.

Needless to say, there were much cooler pics to be taken... But pics were the last thing on my mind in the situation lol.

That is Corral Canyon, San Diego.

On one of the easy trails :)

I have to avoid large drops obviously because of the bed.

guess it depends on the wheeling you do. rocks and climbing stuff requires more flex.

down here in Florida its all mud so we just car about total lift and total tire height. as long as your not smashing your fenders bigger is better.

as for the road queens its whatever is in style for that year i guess.

Yes the STT Pros. They are good offroad, but more impressively they have very good wet grip compared to past mud tires I've had. (BFG M/T, Super Swamper, Toyo M/T). ...I really think the silica makes a big difference.

I second the beautiful pics and jealous of that terrain. If I had trails like that here I'd have second thoughts about wanting a pavement princess.

35s are perfect. I just dont see having 37s on an ifs. Your asking for failures down the road..
