If you have a Sport w/ Max Tow, 3” lift and 37 x 12.5 tires, please share what wheel specs you have and if you have any rubbing while offroading. I want the least amount of tire poke. My local 4x4 shop says 3.5" to 3.75" backspacing. Stock wheels have 5.98 backspace. So that’s gonna push the...

Awesome profile pic.

Thanks! What wheel specs do you have? I assume 17” x 8.5 or 9? What offset and back spacing? And how hard do you wheel it? Any rubbing?

If you remember please post what the diagnosis is. Thanks in advance.

I also have max tow. How's the power with the 4:10s?

I'm hoping to get first hand experience from those of you that have the 3.6L gas engine, automatic transmission and running 37" tires. How many miles do you have with that combination? How many miles overall? (maybe you did first 30k miles stock, then upgraded to 37 and have put 30k on those...

No problem hijacking my thread. Maybe I’ll learn something.

Yes. Mine came with 245/75/R17 which online calculator tells me are about 31.4” x 9.6”.

I have a sport with max tow. So, 4.10 gears. Local shop here in TX says it might be OK with 37s. They suggest drive it and regear later if you feel too much power is lost.

Don't portals cost like $25k? And you still need a lift?

What do you consider "light" 37" tires. My local shop recommends Toyo or Nitto. I'm a newbie so not familiar or experienced with either. I want as quiet as possible on road and good wet traction on road.

Great info. Thanks!

Thanks for the details. I’m leaning heavily to get 37s but would go 35s to avoid additional wear and tear if enough experienced people told me 35s are good enough. You have a nice rig!

I do have a sport with max tow. So, 4.10 gears. Local shop here in TX says it might be OK. They suggest drive it and regear at if you feel too much power is lost.

Great info! Thanks. But I think you meant belly pans DECREASE clearance, right? Also, I've read that Aluminum skids don't slide well and bend easily. Steel is better but obviously heavier. My local shop specialize in RockKrawler lifts. Are they true to size? Thoughts?

The quotes I have from a local shop are about the same for 35”, 1.5” lift plus full motobilt belly plates vs. 37”, 3” lift, no belly plates. I asked for this thinking maybe I don’t “need” belly plates with 37s and 3” lift. Maybe that’s a faulty idea?

Who has tried both 35“ and 37” tires with appropriate lifts? What is your experience with belly scraping? How significantly better are the 37s? Thanks.

One last question, what size Klevers did you get? Seems like they don’t come in 35”. Closest I see is 315/70R17 which a tire calculator says is 34.4 x 12.4.

Thanks for the detailed response.

I don't have a lift yet, so can't offer an opinion. But, I am interested in the Kenda Klevers. Have you used them before? If yes, what's your experience? Or, is this your first set?
