Before I did this set up I had 315R70s on for a while with a 3" spacer and I had about 1/2 to 3/4 inch clearance at the rear of the fenderwell at closest turn point

Thanks TJ , were these stock wheels? if not, what width/offset? I may consider redoing my arms and pushing the axle forward 1/2" I've got to get under there and see what's in the way etc with the panhard/steering.

My $. 02 is you don't want to pull with 37" tires. I had 37" parnelli jones on my old truck with 4. 5" lift kit and the tires sidewall flex and all was not good. If you blow a tire with a 10k load and you got that much tire deflating your not going to walk away from it. That is why i sold my other truck cause i wanted to start pulling a heavier trailer. Again it's just my $. 02 Kevin

Yes, they are the stock wheels, unfortunately no one has come out with a wider dually wheel. Eagle has a new one , but it is still 6" wide.
