Can get a Deal on 37.5 TSLs.... Should I go for it?

[WantedaDodge]

I can get 4 lightly used 37x12.50R17 TSLs from my local tire shop for $800 mounted and balanced! The guy at the shop looked at my truck and with my dodge wheels he is thinking the 37.5s will fit. I run a 4 inch lift w/ Rancho(I think, maybe trail master?) springs in the front and blocks in the rear.

I don't have much flex in the front end and was thinking of trimming the fenders a little anyways, as well as a 1 inch body lift eventually, and maybe some zero rates up front with a little taller block in the rear.

At 200$ a tire mounted and balanced I think that I'm doing pretty good. I wasn't planning on running this much tire w/ 4.10 gears and a lo-po 350, but hey it's a pretty good deal! I only have '31s on it right now but there looks to be a lot of room under there.

Would you guys go for it or should I stay safe and buy some '35s? I mean I'm all about having max wheel travel over max tire size, but 37.5s sure would look mean!!!!

Do the 37's. I wimped out and dodged a set of 39.5's when I could have had them -- I wish I'd went ahead and bought them! Just cut the fenders and you'll be fine.

there is only one way to find out if they fit and you like them. Buy them and run them for awhile.

I've got 34x10.5's on stock springs. I will need to trim alittle when I start flexing but for my DD there fine. I say go for it.

I had 37"s on mine with a 4" lift. I had to cut the fenders somewhat. Just be prepared.

I have them! they fit real well so far, haven't rubbed yet, but I'm going to trim the inner fenders some(mud build up) and probably trim the lowers a bit too.

Course I might just put a 1 inch body lift on and be done with it.

They work so well though! I took it up a nasty rutted, washed out fire road to night. It was slick clay that alone would have killed my truck with the old tires. Feels like a tractor.

I love them!
