Default Question about 3.7l with lvl kit and tires

Does anyone have the 3.7l non eco boost with a leveling kit and 33 in tires. How does the engine handle them. I'm looking to the future for the mods I want to do.

I don't have one, but I would think that motor would be able to handle a level w/ 33's. What is the config of the truck...standard cab, super or crew?

i think 3.7s come with 3.73 gears. so im gonna say it should be fine. but you might notice a bit loss in power. upgrading to 4.10 gears might help restore that power.

302 hp v6? I think it will handle 35's also with no problem, just depends on what you do with your truck.

My old truck with 165 hp handled 35's with no problems, only down side was I needed 5.13 gears.

I won't do anything more than 33". I'm not a big fan of the low in the front high in the back look. Plus I've learned my lessons about mudding and off roading in my last jeep. Very expensive fixes. So now I just want it to look good.
