I am going to install the 2 inch leveling kit from Lorenz Industries this weekend. I ordered it with the 6% spring.
Here's the deal guys. I received permission from the budget and finance department (wife) that I could get new bigger tires. I was planning on useing my stock 17 inch wheels and go with 35 inch Toyo MT BUT I really, really would like to get the 37 inch toyo Mt. Of course my question is "will 37inchers fit"? I just did a search and have read for the last hour, my eyes hurt, but still am unsure. If they are to big and I have alot of trouble I am looking at living in the hay loft of the barn for a while.
Oh! I should tell you what I going to put these on 2004 3500 long box quad cab 4x4, 305 Cummins, 48RE, 4:10 gears.
Please help, I don't want to sleep in the barn it is starting to get cold in the night.

what are you trying to gain by using 37s? its not like have a G56 and need them.

Lloyd Henry

I don't do much towing and wanted to get the gearing up a little higher. right now 1950 rpm gets me down the high way at 63 mph. i just like the look of a big tire.

i am pretty sure that there is someone on here that is running 37s with stock rims or maybe H2s without a lift, maybe XLR8R. there are probably others, but this rings a bell.

They SHOULD fit, but itll take a little fender trimming(To have NO rub)
PM XLR8R(?)

3" lift will clear just fine, and have more room to articulate, etc
H2s will also help push the wheels/tire out just a tad(but not enough to create rubbing problems from the other side)

IMO, if you are just doing the 2" springs for now, run 35s.
When you can go with a nice 3"-4" lift later, then rock the 37s.

Just my .02

Thanks every one and Thank you Stacked97 your .02 is worth a lot more than .02 to me. I did try to purchase a set of H2 wheels from the classifieds on this site but never got a response back form either party. The 37 inch toyos are only $10 more that the 35 inch $274 for the 37s and 264 for the 35s. Shipping was alittle more and I thought for the difference I would jump on the 37s.
As far as the lift goes I plan on getting the Lorenz 2.25 system but I can't go any higheer. My wife hurt her back really bad and has a lot of trouble lifting her feet high enough to get in to something much higher. That is why I thought of keeping the lift as small as I could and getting the height out of the tires.
Thanks alot guys

i have 35" toyos and at 60 on the speedo im doing about 1700 to 1750 rpm and really traveling at 66 to 67 mph. i didnt notice any gain in fuel mileage but you might.. in town it wiil get worse but some people say it better on the hwy. i have seem xlr8r truck and he has had to cut a little on the back of the front fender and the tries rub on the sway bar and the lower control arm when turning. 35 look pretty good with a leveling kit anbd most 35" tires wont rub. hope this helps a little

Not a problem! Good luck with it, it should look/ride great!

Another thing to consider, are some decent steps.
I picked up some Ranch Hand steps for my fiancee, since shes only 4'11"
She had some problems getting in my truck after I put on the 35s/4" lift.
It really does make getting in a whole lot easier though, that extra step before stepping up to the cab hieght helps. I also like the fact that the clamp the stock framerails, and dont screw to the pinchweld like many of the others do.

Heres a quick pic(I dont really have any good pictures of the steps)

TrkEnvy

they are pricey but the AMP power running boards are retracting so when they lower into position they sit a lot lower than most running boards or side steps.. Just a tip so you can talk her into the lift..

Bob4x4's running 37" MT's currently,but I don't know if he's using the longer Carli control arms or not. I think they come with the 3.0 Dominator system he's using. They are 1/2" longer. You'll need five 35's to make this work and a 35" spare will fit under your truck.

bob4x4

You NEED the CORRECT length arms and rear springs to fit 37s with out trimming.With my set up and stock wheels I can stuff the tires front and rear 4bying with out issues.

The 37's make a big diff off road
