If you don’t already follow the build on Instagram, you probably missed the reveal of the new wheel and tire set up
So I wanted to post it on here for anyone thinking of doing something similar and give some feedback. Going from 35s on 20s, to 37s on 20s, to now 37s on 18s I can say there is simply NO comparison to the ride comfort that these D load 37x13.50s give! It’s like riding on pillows in comparison lol. The one thing I will say, I’m used to how flat the truck would corner with the other setups and this new tire definitely flexes a lot more so it feels like extra body roll. Short term fix is to inflate the tires a little more, but long term I think upgrading the front sway bar to match my hellwig rear swaybar will help tremendously. Wheels are 18x9 -12 Method 305 Double Blacks and they look killer with the matching hardware and flush center caps. I’m at 5.7” of lift in the front & can confidently say 5.4” would be the absolute minimum lift needed to clear this with no rubbing and no trimming on the bumper or cab. If you have a rebel front bumper or aftermarket bumper you can most likely run 5” minimum height if you trim the pinch weld a lot. My rear lift is 3.5”. Overall I definitely recommend this setup! I think I will add 3/4” wheel spacers but I will have to trim the inside of the bumper for sure. I’ll update this thread if I do it.
