Towing with 37s

[Motofreak]

Anyone towing with 6" lift and 37s? Have a buddy considering that setup and wondering how it will work. Has the Edge/Attitude already.

what is he going to tow? 5th no way gooseneck maybe, heavy bumper pull very squirrelly(sidewall squirm) which may not be possible if he has to use a drop hitch.

my brother in law tows with 37's and a 6" lift. He says it tows fine but I don't believe him. he tows a 4 horse trailer.

It's doable if you don't go too heavy. Keep in mind, as you increase the tire dia. there will be more stress on the axles, bearings, axle shafts, gears, u-joints, transmission, ball joints, steering system, etc. Especially with the additional power mods. There are other issues that will crop up that he will have to be willing to live with also. To help some, stay with a larger wheel, say 20's so you don't get excessive sidewall flex.

Kinda what I was thinking

Trying to get him to rethink the 37's as I dont see too many towing with that config. I tow about 10k with my 4" lift and 35" tires without any issues.

I tow mildly with a 5" and 37's. I went with the MTR's because they are still load range E's for weight. No complaints here. I built my quad trailer lifted slightly so I don't have to use a drop hitch, but I usually do.
