37 wheel swap plus cash

[BoostCreep]

OP, congrats on the new truck.

Either way, I think consistent with what most people told you, there’s nobody out there with a set of 37pp wheels that will simply trade for the 35 wheels. Buying them separately is the best and most likely option. It’ll look good with any of those wheels.

“Most” lmao. Just found the unicorn I guess then. Even swap bud

Wow fleabay? I don’t stoop that low. Facebook marketplace. Only the finest. You think I’m lying? Here’s your full of crap! Haha . The set that says 1900 for a scratched set. He has another set for me. I’m getting a brand new set for $500 minus my takeoffs. Your Cialis must be effecting your wrong blood vessels.

I am so confused. Did you end up with the 37 rims? Thanks for the laughs though.

I did but from last year. They are gunmetal. I might pick them up later today.

I have already gone far in life. These guys were all negative and said I couldn’t do it. Thought I was dumb. Well….

Most likely far into high interest debt

Just to let everybody know, I was not trying to be a dou che. Sorry for anything that was out of line. I joke around a lot. First few comments made me want to find even more. And I did find some. Thanks for all the laughter today. Serious question now. Lol.

Nobody was laughing at you or making fun of your question. Your initial question/post wasn't worded very well and I believe many thought you were looking for someone to trade the standard beadlock wheels for the 37 beadlock wheels straight up; your title said "plus cash," but it wasn't included in the post. I'll acknowledge that the Raptor is already a pretty elite truck and some owners are a little snobby... the 37PP owners seem to take that to the next level, jokingly calling the 35 trucks a "Peasant Raptor." Regardless, you kinda came in swinging as a new member, but thank you for finally taking the high road and coming clean on the first few pages of shenanigans. Tough call on the black vs grey 37PP wheels on Avalanche; I have coworker who just bought got a 23 Avalanche 37PP and it looks sweet with the black wheels, but I think the 21-22 grey colored wheels look just as good... personal preference.

The reason the 37PP wheels go for a premium used is because the 37PP from Ford is turn-key and very convenient to the buyer, but it really isn't a good value. Most people that ponied up the $5250 for the 37PP (21-22 was cheaper) to have 37" tires from the factory aren't going to be willing to sell their wheels, so the ones that are for sale go for a premium. I ordered a 23 w/o the 37PP, sold my OE takeoff tires and wheels for $2500 (incl. spare), purchased 37 BFG KO2s and aftermarket wheels (Fifteen52 Range HD) for $3400, and purchased the set of four Eibach lift springs for $900. At the end of the day I'll have OE 37" tires, wheels I think are nicer than the 37PP wheels, less offset with the aftermarket wheels for a wider stance and IMO better look, truck will sit taller with the Eibachs, and I don't have the -1" front and rear suspension travel that the 37PP trucks do. I'm $1800 out of pocket and better off than what the $5250 37PP gets you from Ford and the tire/wheel combo doesn't rub on anything with zero trimming under full tuck. It would have been nice if Ford didn't have to shave 1" off the 37PP trucks front and rear suspension up travel, but they would have had to make the trucks slightly taller (~1") and it became an issue for PedPro (Pedestrian Protection) and bumper height federal regulations. The 37PP trucks and even Raptor R having 1" less suspension travel (~8% less) than the "Peasant Raptor" for more money was a deal breaker for me.

Good luck w/ your decisions and hope you enjoy the truck.

So this guy apologized then went right back to insulting people.

Reminds me of Bud Light, you can’t go back now.

@BAJASVT thanks for the info. How does that eibach pro lift ride? Did you get the front and rear kit? Did you have to reset height? I’m doing exact thing except buying OE 37 rims and buying 37 ko2’s. I heard the eibach kit is supposed to be smoother than rpg perch collars. The place I’m buying the tires and kit from will give me trade in money for my factory take offs. I don’t know how much yet though.

A few take always from this thread. BigHoss is a bitch. 2nd is he lied and said he was buying the rims when he said he was going to trade plus cash. Clearly you can’t trade rims when you don’t have your truck yet. 3rd is he found out that the guy didn’t want his rims at all and he had to admit that he just bought them. BigHoss is more like BigBiotch.
