2nd gens on 37" tires

Yes, that’s a Leer 100xq.

 

Everything you can do on 33 or 35s, you can do better on 37s.

Do you read that sign "Crickers Liquor" or "Creekers Leeker"

 

It's on IG today . Do you have an IG account?

 

Does anyone here have the 2.7 on 37s? If so, what kind of gearing has been done and what kind of MPG are you getting?

@allmotorrex is running 4.88 not sure of mileage though

 

Yeah I'm running 4.88s. And it depends on how fast I drive on the interstate. I like to do 80 and will get about 14. If I drop down to 70 I'll get about 18. Around town I can average 20. I also drive slow around town and try and save gas. Interstate is a different story.

 

Did you really just ask that

 

Yeah, I know I know.... use the SEARCH button...


I'm just lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay, with that said - and before I ask, I do understand alignment has a lot to do with it - ..... Did you have to chop up/ trim your firewall? I would like to know, by account, the cleanest way to accommodate 37s. I'm thinking of tubbing sections of the firewall and fender support... I've got a 1" body lift and think anything more would be tarded'.....

 

The alignment has to do with the caster angle. The factory cams push the tire forward to get positive caster. Aftermarket uca push the tire back to get positive caster. Best to max out caster in that scenario. Another option (what I've done) is to get aftermarket lca. They are not cheap but definitely help with pushing the tire forward. On to the trimming... I've already trimmed my flares and fender for 35s and had to do only a little bit more for 37s. I can send pics if you want them. I relocated my body mounts and tubbed the firewall. As a reference, there is a bolt at the bottom of the fender. That's where I've seen most people cut back to. You can see it in this picture.

 

With 37’s it’s all about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon.

 

Lift will also have a lot to do with how much you have to trim. My buddy nick is running close to 4 inches on long travel and only had to rub his fire wall about an inch or so. (He is also running factory body mount)
I'm running 2 inches or less of lift and cut everything out and relocated my body mount.

 

Not to be one of those guys but.... that's long travel vs std length. I completely agree that long travel completely changes what you have to cut. Your height of lift doesn't really matter unless you are talking about street use only. I could put my factory coilovers back on and still not rub. My bump stops are in the same location regardless of lift.

 

Very true, he is also running dmaftermarket bump stops. When I was factory length running 37s i had to cut my fire wall and cut my cab mount to the bolt and trim fenders.

 

No not that at all



If you’re concerned of gas mileage....why are you considering getting big tires

 

I pulled my coilovers and compressed the suspension all the way then cut 1" past where the tire touched so I ended up cutting 2.5" out of the fender well and fire wall then plated it back in with sheet metal. I dont feel I needed to cut that much but i shouldn't rub any. Haha

 

Clean work!
