Anyone running 37’s on stock Mojave wheels, no spacers?

Added 37” BFG KO2 today. No lift. I have the AEV kit sitting in the garage. Not sure I’ll use it…waiting on the A.R.E shell to arrive. Might put the lift on then.

I looked at the pics before reading the description and thought they were the same tire. I ordered by 37 BFGs with method wheels and looking forward to the install. Have you decided if you were going to add the AEV lift? I too was going to order that same lift but not sure now. How does she drive? Any big noticeable change in handling? Looks good man!

drives great! I’m planning to send the lift back and keep it stock. There is a slight difference in size (BFG’s being visually larger). biggest positives: road noise is really low and gained 3 MPG’s in fuel economy.

No lift 37'" Ridge Grapplers

Did you gain 3 mpg over the Nitto 35s? What did you lose over stock?

Nice rig man! 37s just look right on the Mojave

Yes - over the 35” Nittos. I assume it’s due to the difference in weight. I can’t remember what MPG I averaged stock. I’m averaging 19.6 hwy and 17.4 city with the 37” BFG’s “Load C”.

Wow that’s crazy man! I bought the same tires but went with method wheels, shouldn’t be that much over stock. How fast are you cruising on the highway? I can only seem to average 17-18 mpg but it’s a little hilly driving from central to west Texas.

That’s on the stock falkens

I drive 70 miles a day and it’s about 70/30 hwy/city. I typically run 70-75mph. Expecting the running average to be Around 17.5mpg. Give it a few more weeks to see if I’m truly driving it like normal versus “trying” to improve mpg.

The BFG is only ~1lb heavier yet in a 37”. It’s the main reason I went this route.

Thank you for the input, and yeah I find it hard not to stare at the MPG gauge to try and be more economical in my driving. I typically stay around 73 in a 75 just to gain another 1-1.5 mpg. Prob alittle extreme but when driving 200 miles one way, it helps.
I will post weights and pics of the oem and new setup on a scale for comparison. I also chose the BFG for weight and drivability

Let me know how you like your setup ... I have some method 705's coming and am strongly leaning to 37" KO2s

Did you recalibrate?
