Default 5.0L 3.73 gearing running 37s

I know this thread is already out there I want fresh opinions.

I have a 2013 5.0L woth 3.73 gearing S&B CAI with an SCT programmer with custom VMP tunes and a high flow muffler 3 inch in 3 inch out.. my 35s are getting really bald and other then obviously losing some power will I hurt my engine/tranny running 37s?.... don't do much offroading aloft of highway travel some city don't tow often at all.

Thanks guys

37s are too heavy for those gears if you ask me. Your truck will be a dog even with your mods and where's the joy in that? The additional stress on everything is a given. And you're already doing that.

What major parts would the 37s be putting stress on you talking about engine tranny or CVS, tie rods etc.
