97 f150 4.6 xlt ext cab.

OK so I bought some 37s, and I'm pretty sure I can get them under my truck right now as is but they will be a little stuffed. I believe I have a 5-6 inch lift on it now with 35s, from fabtech. Im about to buy a 3 inch body lift as well.

Also Right now I'm running stock gears but I'm thinking I'm about to regear to 4.88s or 5.13s. Stock 8.8 axles.

--What I wanna see is pics of yalls trucks on 37s, how much lift, and what gears your running and how they do for you and any advice.

Sorry if there's already a thread like this my phone won't search the forum so direct me to it if so.

I put some pics of my truck so u can see what it goes through regularly and how it sits right now with 35s

4.88s will be a great fit as far as hwy mileage but 5.13s would give you the grunt it looks like you need.

Yeah, I heard you got to do a lot of grinding to fit them though. I don't do much hwy driving but it does happen sometimes which is why I was thinking 4.88s.

With 4.88s it will pull 37s just fine. A whole hell of a lot better than your stock gears and 35s. The general thought with a 5.4 is 5.13s and 40's so a 4.6 with 4.88s and 37's should be good.

Anything would be better than stock lol tows like a slug right now

What are the stock gears and stock tire size?

3.55s and I'm not sure about the tire I'm not home to read the door but I believe 245/75r16

I'm curious about this as well, I have a 5" lift on 35's so I figure when I re-gear I might as well get a bigger tire, so I asked les schwab if I could fit 37's on with my lift, they said I would need at least a 7-8" lift, but they also told me I needed a lift kit to fit 33's lol.

I seen ur truck in another thread and ours sit the same, this is how 37s look next to the truck, of course it should sit about and inch higher off the tire because the rim would come up some. I know mine will fit and be just fine with a slight cut to the bumper but I want full clearance because I offroad alot

Rough country lift will require a Body lift to clear 37's. All the true 6" lift will clear 37's with just a tbar crank. To the op being you have a 4.6 I would go 4.88's. Otherwise 4.56's would put it almost like stock.
