im trying to get my truck shipped to me. The shippers trailer is exactly 83" wide. im 250 miles away from my truck and do not have anyone who can go measure mine at the moment. My axles and wheels are stock but i have 37x13.5x15" DC fc2's
 
I have an 79.25 wide skid-steer trailer.
My k5 with 35" H2 tires/wheels (which are spaced inward a touch from stock), barely fits. I had to load backwards and the rear tires barely fit between the fenders (rear axle not as wide as front on our trucks), then place boards under the front tires to raise it up to the height of the lip, it wasn't really the lip, it was the drings on the inside of the lip, tires weren't gonna roll over those without damaging the sidewalls. It fit and rode nicely, but it's tight.
I would think with an 83 wide trailer, it'd fit without issue. 37's though, depends on how much they bulge out, it should still fit, just might have to get a little creative.

I have an 8 lug 10b front, and 37x12.5 Hummer tires, on H1's w/ a 3.5" back space.

If I aired my tires WAY up, to 45psi... I MIGHT clear 83".
You're prolly in my territory with your 13.5 wides.

What backspacing are your rims?

Stock on stock 10 bolt

And he cant measure it im going through Uship and im not anywhere near the truck/ Trying to get someone to measure for me at home
 
Depends on the wheel backspacing. I used my friends trailer recently to move my K30, when I bought it and moved it, the truck had stock wheels and near stock tires, it fit on the 83" wide trailer no problem. Two weeks ago I took it wheeling, it now longer fits (truck is now on 38's), well it does, but it involves 4wd and requires strong trailer fenders :D.

The same trailer, hauled my dads Willys wagon rolling chassis, it had stock width GM 10/ 12 bolt axles, had some 33" rollers on 15x10 wheels and it would not fit between the fenders, switched to a pair of 35" BFG's on factory rally wheels and it just cleared. So it depends on backspacing..
 
250 miles away? I have driven that far to just look at a car. Is there a reason you can't go get it?

I will be driving through Kentucky next week. My wife and I are driving back from DC.

i havnt driven it in about 2 years and the radiator is busted and the wkparkway is horrible to drive on in that truck because of the 37's and stock axle ratio:dunno: and it needs some work. i wouldnt trust it right now to drive that far, if i did i dont want to hurt it. When i get it to my new place im gonna redo everything, well almost i still have to change oil, trans fluid, radiator, coolant, etc. just not worth it. plus one of my front brake calipers is sticking and that scares me
