    Good to know Paul. Mine seems to be sitting about the same from the pics I've seen of yours. But I have no preload at all. Are yours 18" too?

    Looked like it flexed nice.

    I have more rear lift then you I think so mine is t bro leaned out. I bet if I was fully loaded it would be a bit.

    Yea...37s. Probably be my next set of tires. 5.29s FTW :p but that's probably a ways off. Expensive for 37s. And I'd want to jump to 17" rims.

    It shouldn't be surprising at all.
    You're asking a lot out of a toyota front/rear end to move 37's for a truck that comes from the factory with 30" tires. 8" R&P aside (which in itself should be reason enough to not run that big of a tire)...the front mounts are pretty pathetic.

    Most recently...broke the front diff mount.
    Far from the only drivetrain breakage he's had though.

    That's due to his 37's or because he wheels the piss out of that truck haha? I know he blew his diff down in Moab too.

    Ya, I get that. It just sounded like the 37's were to blame when it seems like it would have happened regardless.

    I'm still rocking my 7.5" ring gear up front with my baby 33's.
    Just saying....

    I broke a side gear in my rear diff a couple years back, but that was because I bent the shit out of the axle housing. Not saying I wouldn't love bigger tires, but gotta respect the hardware you have to work with.
