Opinion - Do you think I can put 37s with this build?

[Jay513]

FRS 3.0 and Deaver +3 installed. 17x9x0 Primm
Current stock K02s are 33.5inch, which are too small from my perspective.
I read all the 37 threads, just curious on what forum thinks.
Considering Toyo RT/Trail 37/12.5/17 or open to 35s if they fill in more with less problems in future.
I understand I may need to trim in the front with 37s. Will I run into any problems down the road? I offroad more for overlanding. Worse case I would jump by accident, lol. What would you do?

Can you fit them aside, why do you feel you need 37's for overlanding?

I wouldn't do it for overlanding, more for looks. If 37s will be a problem (ie rubbing, long term wear and tear, more upgrades), then I will stick with 35s. From what I am reading on the threads this set up will work with 37s, right?

Yes they will fit, but you will have additional wear and tear. I know a few members had steering racks fail with 37's and unresolved vibration as a result. To me, with the Gen 2, the juice isn't worth the squeeze to run 37's for purely aesthetic reasons. Not to mention, your hypothetical "jump" could tear your fenders off easily.

35x12.5R17 KO2 is an inch larger at 34.5" diameter. However, I'd might be inclined to look at others in that size.

I am a pro 37 guy but that's a lot of work just for looks. You might feel better getting a true 35 tire. Spin the fronts down and add a drop shackle.

I have a 2020 Leadfoot that is very similar to yours and I went back and forth on 37's for a long time. Once the original tires were shot I decided to got for it and have never looked back. The truck looks so much better, and aside from a little scrubbing at full lock in reverse I haven't had any issues. With that said, if you plan to use the truck thoroughly off road you will experience contact under major compression.

nice to know AP3. What tires did you get? Any changes to your suspension? can u post pics?
