It has come to the time where I need to start planning for my next set of tires. My 37" boggers are about wore out and I need to re-gear. I am looking at the new tsl sx ll in the 37X12X15 or I have two used 38.5X14 tsl sx. I do have the front 4.88 for the 37's. So either four new tires and one set of gears or two new tires and two sets of gears.

If you like how it works w/the 37s I stay stick to it..

w/the 38s maybe cause more issues, breakage? maybe not :)

Good luck

Well, depends what you are looking to do! For me, I am considering going to a 37 just because I wanna bring down the gearing a bit vs having to regear to say a 4.11 vs. a 4.56. Truck is to high in the RPM on highway cruising and would like it a little bit lower and the 37's I think would do that for me!

As for the looks of your ride, the 37's look like they fit really well but its up to you really and what you want!

Given tire diameter measurements, 37/38 could be the same diameter depending on the tires being compared. That said, if the poll was 37's versus 40's, I love me some EB's on 40's sitting low.

Realistically the actual ground clearance difference is minimal between the two sizes. 38.3" vs 37.2 on new tires, and the two 38's I have are probably around half tread. Now I just need money to buy them lol.
