I need help deciding if Im going with 35s or 37s. I have a 5.5 suspension lift and a 1" body lift. I will probably use regular size flares, but might do warflares if I go 37s

Let me see some pics with similar setups and please tell me what size tires and lift your running.

Your ring and pinion ratio should play a larger role in this vs. how it looks.

Saying they won't hold up to 37s?
No, to run that large of a tire and be able to use high gear, he is going to need to do a re-gear................

.I can tell you 40" stickies on a geared correctly rig with an Atlas 4.3 and stockish 5.0 can break a front Detroit locker, the 4.88 ring and pinion did not break.

5 1/2" + body lift, running 37" rubber. Knowing what I know now I would have choose 35" tires.

^^ That's right^^ That's why Im trying to decide what tires to run so I can order my gears -- 35s I will go 4.56 or 37s I will go 4.88. Gotta have the gearing right unless you want a turd on the starting line.

good man-you have a nice rig- will look good with either. I would say, if you plan on trail riding much, the extra clearance of the 37's will come in handy. The rocks seem to grow around the southeast over the years :)
