I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should, nobody goes full retard.

Agree. Looks like some kind of street truck that got all f-d up. Those rims would get all bent up running through the desert at 118. In Mexico. Of course.

Those trucks are just pavement princesses

Those trucks are just pavement princesses

Pavement princesses with handicap placards.

No off-road permitted.

Me with 22s in my cart...

What I find entertaining is there is 50 beautiful states in this great country...At the most there are 6 states you can run Baja...So what are the people in 44 states supposed to do with a "Baja" truck?...Off roading in the Midwest is truly a Jeep thing....So a pavement princess with 22s may be not everyone's taste,it would handle better for high speed driving. That would be the main reason I have 20s on my truck and would have no issue with 22s.

Closest I come to Baja is driving on 8 acres of ploughed field in Conway SC... That said, new to being a truck person, I just love the AWD and Power, perfect combo for Ohio weather...I don't think I'll put 37's on my vehicle as I see this as being more of a requirement if you go off roading every weekend, like in Vinton County where we go with our Wranglers...Pick up trucks become a burden in those tight meandering woods/hills though...I think 37's are a personal (ascetics) choice and more suited for those folks who can enjoy higher speed Baja/flying riding etc...

37+" tires also help in the technical trails out here in the Southeast like Uwharrie which is down the road from me.

Happy to report, did some low speed off-roading

with some decent G-outs and some good flexing with zero rubbing!

Sooooo I ordered a set of 1.6" Eibach springs from @Nick797. I think I'm going to swap out my Foutz 2" collar and put my OEM ride height sensors back on and see how she rides. With that being said, it's also time for some new tires. After 20,000 miles the OEM tires are pretty worn out. I was just going to get another set of 35's but I think I want to try 37's. I see a lot of you have had success running the 37's in stock form, as well as leveled. Buuuut has anyone done any high speed, big bump, jumps, with only a 1.6" level and 37's?

I do a fair bit of offroad and I'd hate to get some rubbing and have to go back down to a 35. I do have aftermarket 18" wheels with 0 offset. I'm leaning towards the MT baja or the BFG K03's

Also, has anyone gone from the bottom mount collar like Foutz kit to a spring kit?

 

[TheGhost_ST]

Thanks captain obvious, but nobody runs 22”s on an off-road truck holmes.

thanks... but apparently it wasn't obvious to you. since i only mentioned the 22's since you made a blanket statement that 37's had more sidewall than a 35" which isn't true. so maybe you should make a more intelligent response in the first place.

I can't comment personally on high speed Baja type stuff but at least one dude on the TRX forum runs 37s on stock suspension without issues. You should be more than fine with the 1.6" springs.
If you are wanting to run the MT Bajas in an 18" wheel, the only 37 option is the Legend MTZ. You would have to jump up to a 20" wheel for the Baja Boss MT or AT or stick to a 35x12.50.

Looks like I’ll stick with 35’s and get the KO3’s this time around.

I’m super interested in tire for tire. Goodyear vs BF Goodrich.

I “suspect” the KO3s are better but want an unbiased opinion. Kinda like Tirerack.

10 light years later… It’s obvious that common sense would dictate you shouldn’t run 22” on an off-road performance truck in the first place, however I never made a blanket statement, all my specs were posted regarding my specific setup which is what the conversation was regarding. Well shit, there’s 2 min of my life I won’t get back should I have specified that you shouldn’t run 22” spinner’s either, fuck me.

Not sure it would make a huge difference but keep in mind my experience is based off a +12 offset wheel, AN 18” WHEEL TO BE SPECIFIC. Not sure if you would have more issues with rubbing on a +0.
