Need some advice on 37's.........

[ShawnWhite78]

My pavement princess with 37s and 4.88s. While my commute is a bit further than yours I couldn’t imagine tolerating 3.73s. Is there anyone around you with a similar setup that you could drive to see how it actually feels and responds?

You feel that with the 3.73 it'd way too sluggish or??? I dont actually know anyone with a similar setup unfortunately. Thats why I turned to the forum.

Add two Loonies per liter with that setup. Very poor choice. I had 3.45s with 35's and it really sucked after a few months. Went with 4.88s and it was great. Could have used 4.56 but I have room for the mountains.

Keep the 35's, you live in Ontario and are not permitted to get any use from 37's.

With the 35s on it now I dont find it horrible but I also dont have anything to compare it to as far as being in something with 4.88 or 4.56 . Its def not a powerhouse

Its def more of a look situation not much offroading going on

Keep in mind finding 37/20 in less than E load will be difficult. I checked MTBB and Toyo AT3, both E. E with a short sidewall- ride will also be less than optimal for a pavement princess.

I've used these 35x12.5x20 "knockoff" similar too toyo open country with load range E and have been fairly decent when you consider the discounted price . The ride hasn't been too bad . The E load range tho is likely an inaccurate rating. But I've been pleased with them . Ive had the mt and the at on different trucks over the years. Id be looking for the same brand in 37s if I go that route

Haven’t seen them…. 37/12.50/17’s also suffer from high load range. I would like to upgrade to 37’s next set…. BUT, I like my 59 lb 35/C AT3’s and hoping choices other than BFG release C’s by the time I need tires.

Honestly these things work pretty well i think they have a bfg pattern aswell. And the price point is real good .

Try the 37s and see how you like it. Worst case, regear it. I would keep your axles since you basically have rubicon axles. Just need a regear maybe.

And if you want lockers, throw those in while youre in there. At least a rear locker, or a truetrac

Lockers to go with his 20s???

What do you mean by that? 37s are illegal? It's illegal to go off road? Something else?

Im wasnt exactly sure what was meant by that either

5.13’ s and you will be happy that you did.

You'll notice it feeling a little more sluggish, but you will like having the 37s more than you'll dislike the sluggishness. Do it!

 

[Beach Nut]

Yeah 4:88 and ditch the 20’s. Go back to 17’s

Why go back to 17s? 37s will give plenty of sidewall to air down…why aren’t you running bead locks…rhetorical question. It’s a Sahara, probably doesn’t have lockers…it looks like a pavement, light trail rig…it’ll never see 8th gear…mine doesn’t on 35s! 13MPG…

What’s your gear ratio now?​

What combo is giving you 13 MPG? That's bizarre for anything that doesn't have a 392.

750lb fuel wheels, 3.73 gearing, and a lead foot probably.
