Help with making 37's fit
I'm getting 37 x 13.50's and want to make them work without lifting my truck any more. My 33's hit my firewall a little now. I know I can tub my firewall or even move my front axle forward. Both require alot of work. Any other great ideas?

well do you want bigger tires or less work... either way your going to have to move your axle forward or down....
Re-drilled spring pads with zero rates +/- an RUF and that would move you axle forward 2-3 inches, which might be enough.... If you still have push pull steering you will hit the steering when turning right....

37's will fit fine on my rig as long as I'm just driving down the highway. My truck flexes so much while wheeling that the 33's rub the firewall. One solution might be to extend the front bumpstops a bit and tub the firewall.

you will definitely need to move your front axle forward. you can do rears up front or something like waggy springs.
then its just a matter of extending bumpstops.

push-pull. I know hi-steer is a priority. I put my 37's on and I can't even turn all the cuz the tiers hit my fender already. I guess it's time to move the axle forward and/or start cutin'. I'll post some pics when I get started.
