37" Tires fitment

Will a 37" tire fit on a 4x4 truck with a 4" susp lift and a 3" body lift?

You are better off with 36 for 7" lift. On the 8" both CST & Rize claim 37's will clear but only 12.5" wide max. I have 37x13.5 and 7" of lift and it rubs on turns. I cliped the bumper trim and it fixed the passenger side but the drivers side rubs in the rear. Hopefully a new alignment will fix the problem. Assuming you don't get the same problem on yours then you will just have to cut triangle peices of the lower air damn thing under the bumper. I can't say if 37x12.5's will clear without trimming.

I had about 10" on my '03 Supercrew and still had a little rubbing with 38x15.50 Mickey T claws.... With 7" I would stay around 36" tires.

39's on 7" of lift? Hmm, smokin dem funny green cigarettes

I agree with 36" as I posted previously also. You may fit 37's but only 12.5" wide but you will have to trim the bumper valance and if you an alignment problem like I do then just like mine it will tear up the plastic crap under the wheel well.

Here is a link to my thread with pics. I think I posted it in the wrong section, D'oh...

i know people with 6" susp & 3" bl that can barely clear 38"s let-alone 39"s

He must not have read the replies because above his post I said I was having problems with 37's with 7" of lift (4+3=7).

Well after reading what all of you have to say i want to add to it. I don't know why its that hard to believe. for example my next door neigbor has two F-150's.

One's a 2000 with no lift of any kind and has 33's on it with no rub at all second is a 1998 with a 5in suspension lift from rcd and a 2in body lift. It has 38in and there is still room left.

Kinda of a c0cky statement and it is a nice truck. But from personal experience your rubbing like crazy with that set-up no matter what you say. 7" IS NOT gonna clear 39's on 16x12's...
