35s 0r 37

[DirtRdCruzer]

Hey i need some advice i have a 97 gmc with a RCX 6in lift. Should i try to run 37s or just play it safe and run 35s.

With just 6" IFS lift I would stay with 35's, especially if gearing is stock. For 37's 4.88 gears would be a minimum. Even with 35's the front end wear parts take a beating, wheel bearings, balljoints, idler/pitman arms only last a year with MOOG parts.

I went with the same lift but 35's. I couldn't see any reason to run a bigger tire.

If you can tuck 37s I'd go for those. What rims are you running? I have 17s and every 37 for 17s is load range e and I love that because they are tough and last

Ive been rockin 37s for 6 months and have no complaints,gearing is a must

skinmxz, first you have a body lift too, not just the rcx. Second, where in ontario are you?

37's and since you have a body lift I guess definately do 37's, if you did not have a body lift you could always add one.

gears (new tire size divided by original tire size) x original gear = new gear
(37/31.5) x 3.73 = 4.38 (4.56 or 4.88)
