Yeah and neither of those trucks are first gens

 

dick......

 

Not trying to be a dick just stating a fact, i just dont want a 16 year old kid spend all his money on 37 in tires thinking they will fit his truck cause no one on here answered his question on wheather they would fit or not

 

lol

 

How are their heims? I've heard mixed things on them. Never tried one myself. I always use FK stuff for rod ends and uniballs unless its for my light bar then I use cheap small ones from the buggy shop.

 

lol....tires for 16s are cheaper to...

 

Not by much, between 16's & 17's anyways.

 

Yeah i know everytime i have to buy new tires i wish i had 16's, and 15's are even cheaper its crazy the price diffrence. Stupid baller 17's lol

 

same thing...ive hear they are great from some people and not so great from others...i wouldnt mind trying them out for that price though

 

oh yeah i will find one, its going to be easy. but i need a big washer that pretty much fits over the whole opening, right?

trying to fit 37s on a 1st gen is like fitting 39s on a 2nd gen.
i have toyed around with the idea of 37s, cause the hummer tires are so cheap. and now that i broke a rim and got 2 flats im really thinking about it.

 

Yeah but your truck would be being passed by prius's and smart cars on the road it would be so slow

 

Gears can make anything fast

 

I know gears can make a diffrence but a 4 banger and 37's i would think gears can only help so much

 

it wouldnt be that slow, i have 4.88s

yes sir!

yeah they would only help so much, my truck with 33s right now has retarted amounts of torque

 

Nope, 5:29 or higher (numerically) should be able to move them quite decently, assuming you have a manual tranny tho, an auto would be quite a dog

 

those gears in a stock housing will be breaking all day

 

This is true

I was kind of assuming an upgraded axle. Should have stated that you shouldn't do on a stock housing. Even then the gears are kind of high, but do able.

You can always turbo/supercharger it

 

another point, unless u have a completely boxed spindle and very beefed up steering rack like a howe or something ur fucked. 37's will tear the factory spindle and rack a new asshole. Not to mention the frame and weak core support. 37's is alot of weight and movement which will turn into stress/ spider cracks for days unless ur fully caged and have really beefed ur suspension/ steering and everything. I'd only do it if your going balls out with the whole build

 

who cares what people say just do it, i want to see this shit ahahahha
