just bought some 37" bfg at's

[ZRamsey]

they are 37-1250-17 my question is will they fit the stock dodge rim? will they fit with a leveling kit? or do i have to buy a 6" lift? they have about 50% if not more tread , and got them for 320$ does anybody run 37? if so do u like them, and how bad does the gas milage get?

thanks zac

i would have never bought a 37" AT first off. they will fit on the rim but you will rub like a mo fo without some lift. i doubt the leveling kit will be enough. i would go more towards the 4. 5" kit from skyjacker.

 

[ZRamsey]

yeah but if u had the chance to buy them for 320$ i know u would, because if any thing u could sell them for at least 500$?!?!? im going to put a 6" on it. because the kid i bought it from had a sixer and it looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 6" lift w/37" mtr's if you like bump steer and losing power and fuel economy,oh and lets not forget losing braking power put them on. But as far as looks go they look great thats about it oh ya they help with clearance in the mud. DAVE... .

Did Skinny have some and take them off? Did it kill his towing?

 

[DKiesewetter]

He had som... last time I saw the rig. That was only a month ago... he got them from Tracy. I just saw this guy was from Wichita Falls and figured it might have been skinny's tires. You know how much he changes tires.

yep they will fit on stock rims and will only rub at full steer on the lower controal arm. . had them on my truck for last 25,000 miles. with heavey off roading. Oo.

Had 37" MTR's on stock wheels w/ a 2" spacer on the '04. Never rubbed off-roading in the sand, but if you stuffed the tires w/the wheel turned, they'd probably hit. My buddy has 37 BFG's and side by side my MTR's were noticably taller. So I think you'd be okay w/just a spacer. If it were me I'd "T-Rex" it and be done w/it.



-Think about it, guys run 315's stock, so 2-3" of lift you should be able to go w/a 37" tire.

 

[ZRamsey]

yeah adam came in town and he is putting 38's on tomorrow and he gave me a great deal, it was hard to turn down

I had 315 bfg ATs on my trucks and had nothing but problems. They rubbed and the stock rim was not wide enough, you need at least a 9 inch rim. I now have 295/70/17 NITTO TGs and they fit perfect and my mpgs and hp are so much better now. You guys that are braging about your big tires are full of it when you say you dont have problems with your tires without a lift. Sure they fit and look good when your truck is new, but wate till your springs start to sag then come back and talk about it. . I own 2 03s and 2 04s and all are 4x4 QC cummins they all had the same problems with the tires, so dont try and say , its just 1 truck. My newest truck has 62000 miles on it and my oldest 215000 miles. . I just want others to know the truth about trucks that are worked and not bought for show by someones Mom or Dad for some kid who has no idea what a tire should do. .
