Thoughts on 37s

Depending on where I find work we may settle down pretty permanently. We are sick of living in the city and want to get something out in the country on 10+ acres. Ideally I think we'll save up and build a new house. We both grew up with almost no neighbors so we aren't big on city life...

 

But.. you always have to fix things. And it takes so much time and effort and money to always be fixing things. Buying a house is like buying a Ford. Maybe buy a house in Japan?

 

37s with 4.56

 

^ That'd be a sexy sumbitch if you'd paint those fenders or do a wrap.

Pretty sure if I have a 9" front diff I'm skipping 37's and going to 40's. Haha

 

How do you like that gear/tire combo?

 

X2
I'm torn between 4.56 vs 4.88 for 37's. Peeps with 37's and gears can I get a idea of your rpms on the hwy?

 

Haha thanks Logan! Wrap for sure I drive though tight trails way too often for paint.

lol I'm planing on 39s after upgrading to 2.0 hubs and a tundy 10.5 axle

Wish I had 4.88 some times but my truck is still really fast. Projects are really light so it works fine.

I'd go 4.88

 

Auto vs manual will make a difference here.

I'm auto and running 4.88's with my 33's and love it. I'm going to be wishing I could step up to 5.29's when I go to 37's...

I run about 2800rpm at 75mph. With 37's it would be something like 2200-2300 I imagine.

 

it's not nearly that easy for an ifs 4wd...

 

To high for me

Thx for the imput guys.
Auto BTW and I was only considering 4.56 b/c I'm a MC and currently im on stock gears and rpms are crazy low

 

I run 2800 on 33's. 37's will be much lower. I found with my 3.73's and 33's that it was a dog trying to maintain 75mph and would stay in 4th gear unless I was going downhill...

 

At 75 I am about 2800 rpm at 75. On 37s

 

4:88 are best yo achieve a stock gear ratio to tire size ratio. Some people prefer 4:56 which will give you a little speed and maybe a little better gas milage (maybe) but if you tow or 4 wheel and need the low torque id say 4:88 is the way to go

Edit: dont know the speed exactly but on the highway with auto trans and stock 3:73's im at about 2000 rpm's. My gears are supposed to be in any day now!

 

If you go with 4.56 you get decent mpg and if you add a crawl box then you have all the torque in the world for the 37s off road

That's what I plan on doing when I get 37s...

 

Thats also a great way to do it

 

Yes

 

no
