Thoughts on 37s

13.50 would be better.

 

4.3 bs will most definitely rub on your frame and or frame mounted resis.

 

13.5 tires can fit on IFS?! I don't run spacers.

Yeah, I figured that too, just wanted to see if anyone had direct experience. I currently have 16" F5 with 3.5BS in 35 size and it clears everything and leaves space for 37s

 

How many of you guys running 37s have destroyed a rack n pinion?

 

Unrelated, but I destroyed mine on 31s 20K miles ago (35K on the truck) before I switched to 35s and started dreaming of 37s...

 

That's one thing I feel like people dont talk about much when running 37s. I went through 4 racks (locker in the front doesn't help) but this seems to be the common breaking point

 

This. I don't run 37s but still destroy steering components. It's just part of the game. TRs, CVs, and R&Ps are consumable items.

 

I am still on my original rack. (Knock on wood) I do get steering fade, on occasion, when wheeling. Especially if I forget my front locker on and driving in a rut fighting the slope. I did install an aftermarket steering fluid cooler in front of my radiator and it helped a bunch.

 

Cant agree more! I added the cooler as well and it help my fading issue but still blew through racks. The tie rods I got tired of and ended up building bullet proof tie rods. Now I'm currently installing a double ended ram to have worry free steering from here on out

 

Well damn brotha! That's going to be fricken badass!

 

Got any pics of this?

 

As far as the full hydro not many just the mounts, pump, reservoir are finished up right now.
But the tie rod I used a fj80 tierod because I didnt like the single sheer idea of a heim. (Had to drill out my knuckle and make a tapered sleeve to match the fj80 tie rod). But I have since found out a gm 1ton tie rod can be used and they make a reemer for it so it's much more user friendly. (These tienrods help kill the rack but I dont ever think about breaking them on the trail like I used to)

 

17x9 3.5BS
37x13.5R17 mud grapplers are actually 14.57" wide

 

How loud are they in the cab of the truck?

 

Not yet. I dont wheel hard like you tho

 

Haha I can only imagine

 

Looking for recommendations on replacement tie rods, both inner and outer. I thought this might be a good place to ask because, y'know, 37s break stuff. Moog?

 

555 inners. As far as outer I normally ran moog.

Anyone have 5.29 gears in a 2nd gen?
