Thoughts on 37s

I heard we like clearance. This is with 35’s, after doing this id recommend the chop if you’re just moving to 35’s

 

Going to see if my tire machine can handle these tires tonight

 

Front 5.29s with arb locker and compressor on the way.. coming along slowly

 

So here's my initial thoughts on 37's.
Yes!!!
Should have bigger rear diff.
Don't want a small pinion in the diffs.
Need new wheels too with correct bs.
Think 4.56 is the way I should go, I'm auto around lots of flat terrain.
Don't need to worry about offroad low gearing.

Would I want a D or E load rating?
C ?

 

I would go with 4.88's at least.

 

Why?

 

Because.. 4.56 is under geared for 37s

 

“Don’t need to worry about offroad low gearing” then what’s even the point in putting 37s on with a bigger rear axle ?

 

Also forgetting about steering, tubing, ucas if you don’t have them already, lcas wouldn’t hurt either, 934 CVs, body mount relocation. And some more I know I’m missing

 

Body lift frowned upon for clearing these tires? Currently on 35s toyo MTs

 

Does weight make a difference of how much stress this will put on our IFS? Toyo MT 37s are 84lb a piece while KM3s are 77lb. Any input?

 

Yes

 

As long as it helps clear larger tires for articulation i see why not

 

That’s what tubbing is for

 

I didn't mean to imply I'm not off roading, quite the opposite.
I'm adding crawl boxes

 

What in TARNATION are you talking about good sir. 37” KM3’s don’t weigh 55lbs. They weigh 78lbs. Toyo MT are one of the heaviest tires available keep that in mind. They’re probably the most durable too I would imagine

Honest mistake what can i say thanks for correcting me tho.
And i have no idea where i got the 55lbs from. Your comment doesnt answer my question either way.
Currently running 315 toyo MTs, so yes i understand its one of the most heaviest and durable which is why i bought the ones i have.

 

weight definitely plays a huge role in strain of components. I’m no scientist, but the heavier an object is at the end of a pivot point, the easier it would be to break and wear down the pivots leading to that item. All things considered, I’m still jumping from 35’s to 37’s. Hahaha. Bummer about beadlocks is there isn’t virtually any beadlock that im aware of that weighs less than 40lbs WITH aggressive backspacing around 3.5”, in a 17” diameter.

 

Ohhhh she gonna be bad. I am picking up 4 37” geolanders this week and mounting them up on some beadlocks. Let us know how it goes and if you balance them. My plan is to run them without a balance to see how it feels and then go get them road force balanced

 

My tire machine managed, these tires took A LOT of pressure to seat the bead...like 65-70 psi until they popped. i tried to balance them, cant remember the weight that each tire wanted but it was more than i had on hand. I intended to go to a tire shop and let them lose money on weights, still havent gotten around to it yet. They're definitely not perfect but after putting around 3k on them i dont know if ill even bother
