Anyone running 37" BFGs at low perch?

My shocks have so much corrosion I can't move the blue collar to go to mid perch so I'm going to be staying at the low perch.

Still hoping to fit 37" BFGs though, anyone have any rubbing issues?

Pick up at set of man hands at your local auto parts store. That'll help get it moved up.

I can almost bet you'd have better luck with running the progressive springs that are out there than not, but as far as rubbing/how much *shrug* I plan to try in about a month (with the springs)

I have 37 bfg's with 3.0's and boatec fenders with liners and I get just a bit of rubbing so I would say be careful and take it easy offroad

Are you kidding? Is this your first day using the internet?
Trying to fit 37" tires on the raptor had been discussed and discussed since early 2011 when @Raptizzle put on 37's.

Now if you have a specific combination or a specified question, we can get you answers. But your asking a question that has a been discussed more often than Jennifer Aniston's ****.

As for the blue collar not moving. Spray the shock collar and shaft with some lube. Then use a rubber mallet to move it up.

You might have to drill out that set screw too.

Maybe show a pic of your shocks, if they are that rusted, it might be time for replacement or upgrades

Oh, and 37's will fit at low perch if you leave the truck at Sema and don't drive it!

Welcome new member...

Are you saying that you can't loosen the set screw or that after that set screw is backed out you can't move the perch? Aluminum doesn't usually corrode against aluminum unless other metals are introduced. The retainer clip/ring could facilitate this but it usually occurs worse with stainless.

I would suggest correcting this regardless of what tires you run. Get them off, compress the coils, remove the set screw, soak them in penetrating fluid, and get them to move.

As for fitment, as stated above, there are many existing threads.
