Will be driving across the country in 2 weeks on the I10 from San Diego to Virginia.


I can drop these of anywhere along the way.

Very tempting...I always consider this an option for my truck. The 37's look great, anymore pics of them?

I don't even remember my wheels back spacing I think it's just a hair over 5". What is required for the install? Does everything stay stock? It says it requires minor grinding on the website

No issues if its around 5".


Everything stays stock aside from the extended brake lines that must be installed (comes with the spindles).


I didn't have to grind anything.

Was it required to run the kings to fit the 37's?

Or add a 2.5"leveling kit ontop of the stock coilover. No way you can clear 37's on a 4" spindle.


Even with a 2.5" leveling kit ontop of the 4" spindle you will have to do some minor trimming.

Pics of just the tires or the truck? I have truck ones in some threads in the offroad section.

If you happen to be stopping in the New Orleans area let me know if like to check the truck out. I leave between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, about 5mins from the interstate.
