What about tire width. I’ve seen you installing 12.50’s and 13.50’s. How much more trimming is involved for the wider tires and what if someone wants a narrower tire with little to no tire sticking out? Thanks

Of course there’s a hitch change out that allows a 37” spare

[@rbljackson]

This is very relevant and I agree with you. I've wondered whether a Ram on 37's could have a full sized spare if it was deflated and stored. Anybody know if that works? I think it should have been mentioned in the video, but was a point that was overlooked.

[@truckstreestoys]

@@rbljackson you don't need a full size spare. If you do because you're overlanding, throw it in the bed. If it doesn't fit in the bed with your gear, don't buy a baby truck with a 6.5ft bed.

Highway it was cruise at 85mph-100mph all day long. I increased brake size of course but it corners well. I tow 16ft enclosed trailer (4,000 to 5,000 lbs total with it from 1,000ft above sea level to 550 miles away at over 10,000 feet above sea level. Only slight trouble I've had is overheating engine on hot days pushing 75mph + speeds. I think I can help that with remove D€F system and maybe meth injection. Intercooler would help as well and new exhaust. Anyway, I'm having fun on a Jeep Gladiator. Surely you guys can get those full size trucks with much larger diesels to operate well on 40's and 42's in my opinion. Maybe even 44's although I haven't seen any that big

[@redbeastadventures]

Got my suspension components and Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm wheels and other stuff from CJC. Great folks to work with. 😀 Ended up with Toyo RT Trails 37x12.5x17 tires and they work great on the 2024 Ram Power Wagon (aka Red Beast Wagon). Lots of videos on my YT channel on the build and a few offroad trips if interested. At any rate, I think 38s would well on this truck as well as it still has plenty of power with the 4.10 axles and the 8 speed transmission. After I wear these tires out in the rocks, I may go to the 38s (will have to do a little more work on the inner fender pinch weld, etc). The Falken Wildpeak RT 38x13.5x17 looks like an awesome tire to go with for me next time. Who knows what else might be available in the next year or two…. Again thanks to CJC Off Road for providing great advise and equipment.

[@MTBryanH]

When I bought my 2020 Power Wagon I immediately jumped from 33's to 35's. Just a slight handling difference. I had E rated Duratracs in 35. I recently went from those 35's to Toyo 37's with Method wheels, HD704 from CJC Off road. I feel the Toyo sidewalls are a little stiffer so they honestly don't handle much different than the 35's. Just a little trimming. Very pleased!

[@reinc83]

Since Ford reconfigured the front end to fit 37 X 12.50s, are they going to offer a 37 package on the 2025s? 🤔

[@DevotedDiesel]

Maybe a video on the different load ratings of tires and what to look for when shopping for larger tires on these trucks

[@CJCOffRoad]

Sounds like a solid idea! If you want the spark notes version, ignore the letter rating completely and look just at the max load in pounds per tire. As long as that meets your needs, you're good to go. Keep in mind too that, for example, a 3,500 pound rating per tire means 7,000 pounds per axle.

[@jasonperkins8716]

That did answer some of my questions. I have f350 1 ton. I put 37s on it and that’s just not enough for a truck that big it has a 6 inch lift. I had to modify the fenders openings make Sheet Metal wheel houses because the old fender liner wouldn’t fit after modified everything. It looks OEM. As I was a autobody technician. So I did a good job. My next step is going to be 40 inches. The truck is a weekend warrior. I don’t drive it much at all. Sometimes it sits four months. But my next thing is, I’m doing the Hydro assist and putting 40s on it. Then I’m gonna get some gearing done. It’s a lot of truck that’s why I want a lot of Tire. It is 08 but there’s only 140,000 miles on it. So mechanically, I think I’m OK with doing that to a weekend warrior. Although everybody knows those six point fours can be problematic. as last year, I had to change the turbo,EGR coolers, sensors, water pump thermostats clutch fan. Stupid DPF. Otherwise, I’ve had that truck through Ford ice in California and all kinds of other trails I probably should’ve not have been on. Thanks for the Tire info. 😊

Excellent video, and I was one who emailed one of these questions as well. 2022 Ram 2500, Carli 3.25 with 37x13.50s. Perfect fit and look, I am thankful for the recommendation to go with the 13.5 over 12.5. Stock gears on my rig are 3.73s, and I was a little nervous on the towing front. There was an initial feeling of light sluggishness from a stop, very minimal braking. In my gear ratio case, highway towing improved significantly. Combined fuel economy is down 2mpg, a price worth paying for the improved performance. Time will tell if a gear ratio change would be worth it.

[@ted4719]

Have a 2.5" Coil Ft & 2" rear ready to go on, but surprisingly the larger tire seems to fit, probably due to commercial tires not being extremely wide… tire change added only 3/4" width. Taller wheel & tire feels to have improved ride for 16 ply.

My concern is where do I put the full size spare if I increase the size, can it fit where the stock spare goes? I don't want to take up valuable bed space with a spare. I'm considering a 2025 F150, Raptor, likely the 37 package, Tremor to not have it be quite so wide and to have the front torsion diff, or one of the Platinums so as to get the hybrid Powerboost engine. If I went Platinums or Tremor I was thinking of doing say a 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" lift/level and upping the tire size to 35's, which I think still fit in the spare area under the bed. I'd love to go up to a 37" on those but don't think the spare will fit in the stock storage space under the bed. If I go Raptor 35, I don't think a 37 will fit underneath, so I'd likely go the Raptor 37 package, but I don't know if 38" or 40" full size spare would fit in the 37 storage space under the bed. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[@derekheuring2984]

I recently bought a low mile (16K) 2022 Power Wagon which came with 37" X 12.5" X 18" Nitto Trail Grapplers already on it. Here are my observations: The stance and look of the truck is amazing and I get lots of compliments on it. The tires rub a little when turning if I hit a bump which is no big deal as the rub is barely noticeable. They also tend to follow ruts and imperfections in the road when driving on asphalt which again, is no big deal if you pay attention when you're driving. The tires have a max pressure of 65 psi and the previous owner kept the tires at 60 psi (cold) so I'm sure when I'm running down the road in the Texas heat the tires could be hitting max pressure. I lowered the psi to 57(cold) but I'd like to know what you recommend for a psi when the truck's unloaded and psi when the truck is loaded to near max GVW. I sub'd to your channel and look forward to lots more good information from you.

[@CJCOffRoad]

We'd recommend doing a slight trim of the fender liner to stop the rubbing, upgrading the steering stabilizer to reduce feedback, and dropping tire pressure to maybe 38 front and 28 rear range unloaded depending on what results you see from the chalk line test shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpDEmqGOoLt-qKM

A few other questions. Are you aware of any true, dedicated snow tires available out there in the 35", 37" or 38" tire size, the sizes I am most interested in? What about true, dedicated snow tires in those sizes with say an AT tread pattern style but the dedicated snow tire composition and extra sniping? What about 33" or 34'" for both questions?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Toyo AT3s are snow peak rated and offered in 35 and 37 sizing. That would be our pick.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

@@CJCOffRoad I appreciate the answer, but that was not my question. A severe winter rated 3 peak AT is better than a regular AT, absolutely, and the AT3 is a good one; i think the new KO3's are turning out to be especially good ones too. But I am trying to find true, dedicated actual snow tires in these sizes, and I have not been able to. The 3 peak rated AT's fall between a regular AT and a true dedicated snow tire in winter snow and ice performance. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the true dedicated snow tires have a different composition, often times a softer rubber, though there are other relevant attributes too, as well as has more snipes. Thanks again, but if you or anyone ever finds a true dedicated snow tire in these larger sizes I would rally appreciate it. Thanks also for a useful video. Another thing I will begin looking for since I so far cannot find a true dedicated snow tire in these larger sizes, is which of the 3 peak rated are best, towards that end which have softer rubber, if any have additives to the rubber that might help in very cold temperatures to help keep the rubber softer instead of hardening, which if any have noticeably more snipes, which outperform in the many reviews out there.

Any thoughts on going to 37s on a '24 Super Duty Tremor with the gas Godzilla? It comes stock on 35s with a 4.30 rear gear. I'm curious what the effects would be on power loss, MPG, towing, etc. With a .64:1 final drive on the ten speed auto, the calculator puts the RPM at 70mph on 37s right around 1700. Obviously it's not a commuter car, but I wouldn't want to drop 3-5mpg just for looks...

[@chris1293]

I noticed a slight lost of acceleration going to 35’s on my 22’ Ram PW. So a little concerned about going to 37 or 38’s tire. Are there regear options for my truck?

[@leo-ub6nb]

There definitely are! If you want an easier and cheaper alternative, at least for the time being, I’d recommend a tune. I went with 5StarTuning but there are plenty of e-tune suppliers. It was like $500 for the tuner and I was able to load up 5 tunes on it (2 come for free, $10 for each additional tune). For whichever e-tune shop you choose, they’ll ask for specifics about your truck, like gear ratio, wheel and tire size, and any other performance mods you’ve done. A few days later, they’ll email you or send it to your tuner directly via internet connection. It depends if the tuner you purchased has WiFi or not. At first, my truck (on 35s) felt sluggish and the engine felt like it was being overworked. I got an e-tune and it was a day and night difference! It felt much better, even from stock. Definitely got more pep and the engine feels like it’s just running good overall. In the end, I still want to regear, but for a 4X4, it’s almost double the price (twice the parts). The only thing is, your truck will have to relearn its shifting behavior (it’s based on your driving habits), so the first few hundred miles, you might notice some harsh shifts. It’s not anything overly harsh or anything that will damage your vehicle. Even when you first got the truck it more than likely went through that calibration without you even noticing. For my truck, it takes 400 miles before it fully learns the shifting points based on the driver’s driving habits, and calibrates itself accordingly. Even if I got a regear done, I still would e gotten a tune afterwards. But the e-tune is much cheaper, versatile and customizable due to you being able to pick multiple tunes and load them up to the truck for whichever you feel like using. They’re not “on the fly” tunes, as you can only load 1 tune at a time to the vehicle, but they’ll all be stored on your tuner. And when you load one up to the truck, it can take anywhere between 5-20 mins. The first time is usually the longest. I know my post is long, but just trying to give you as much info and what to expect, if you do go that route.

[@CJCOffRoad]

Sounds like the standard progression! haha

[@watchervideo1]

Help… I have 23’ F150 V8 with 3.31 gear ratio. does Falken AT4w 285/70/18 tires 34s effect my driving ? Does is to heavy for 3.31 ratio? Thank you 🙏

[@RXR91]

Can you go 37s on an 18" wheel on a 2024 F350 SRW without any cutting?

[@TylerTravelute-cx3oj]

Love this video! Happen to have any knowledge on if a 325/60 r20 (35.5x 13 wide) would fit on a stock hight and wheel 23 sd with out rubbing? I know you guys do everything custom just wanted to pick your brain.

[@CJCOffRoad]

Assuming you go with an all terrain that doesn't have large side lugs, that should work!

[@markymark959]

I’ve always liked 37s on big trucks….usually requires a slight lift so they don’t rub

[@texaslso]

What 37's do you recommend on a 6.7L 2023 King Ranch with 20" factory rims? I like the color match factory wheels and don't want to stick out much because my place is three miles down a gravel road and don't want to throw rocks on the side of my truck. Thanks for the great content!

[@CJCOffRoad]

You'll want to use a narrow all terrain like a Toyo AT3 or Falken AT

[@Bolthole_Studios]

Any recs for a lifted E450 Skoolie, looking for a 35” All Terrain for 16” rims?

[@vincefairleigh6899]

I’d like to trade in my 1500 and get a one ton diesel truck with 37” tires but no more than a 2” lift, possibly even have to do some trimming and gears… I might go with a 4” lift only because it’s so long and the bark over angle is bad..

[@tvk3645]

What about the automatic transmission shifting based on factory settings fir a 34” tire when you put on a 37”?

[@CJCOffRoad]

The answer to that all depends on the truck, driving style, factory gear ratio, and TCM. For example, 14-18 68RFE Ram trucks with a 3.42 gears typically need gearing when you majorly step up tire size. Newer 2023+ Fords have a smart enough TCM to figure out shift points with the new tires and adjust accordingly, especially if they have a lower factory diff gearing.

[@DM-tf6mk]

Another great video! I have a 22 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi with 3.73's. Currently on 35's. Would I be unhappy if I jumped up to the 37's since it doesn't habe the 4.10's, regarding acceleration? I know my mpg will be affected. Thanks

[@CJCOffRoad]

Not really and we say that having gotten custom gears made for our Power Wagon when we moved to 37s just to test things out. If we could do it again, we'd just stay with stock gears and keep it simple since it's got an 8 speed transmission that does just fine keeping the engine in the right RPM band.

[@DM-tf6mk]

@@CJCOffRoad Thanks so much for the reply and information! Appreciate it.

[@giovannireynolds6780]

I have a 6.4 crew cab Laramie Carli pintop with 37x12.50x17 nitto ATs i went from 3.73 to 4.44 because there definitely was a difference. A lot of gear hunting and sluggish from stock. At 4.10s you might notice a slight difference but not huge. Re gearing ain’t cheap either.

[@DM-tf6mk]

@giovannireynolds6780 Thanks for reply!

[@charleskeene715]

I have maxis razor mts 40 x 1350 on 20 inch wheels and they are great all around. 2018 f350 dually

[@qazqaz-kp1xj]

I want to buy a new car. Do you recommend buying a Ford F-150 V8 5.0 or a Ram Dodge? I would like to know which is better in the long run, has fewer problems, and has less fue

[@gabrielzazueta2218]

I have a 2006 ram 3500 that I lightly tow with. It’s on 6 inch lift on 37’s. I want a suspension that smooths out all the road pot holes, speed bumps, rough roads. What kind of system should I go with without breaking the bank?? I’m actually really looking for a shop to help me out and it that dodge going through the desert looks awesome

[@robertgoodrich8953]

Ship your truck to CJC. They sold me the best wheels possible for my 22 Ram Power Wagon. Great price, helpful info, excellent service, quick shipping.

[@germannevarez928]

What about the stress on the transmission on the rams do you regear or upgrade the transmission

[@CJCOffRoad]

That all comes down to the exact truck and usage. For example, 2023+ Fords do just fine, but older Rams tend to handle 37s better with a re-gear if you're towing and hauling heavy. If you're mostly empty, there's not really a need.

[@timshapleyadventures]

I have a 2022 F450 dually, 19.5 inch wheels. Can anyone comment from experience with going to a 37" in this set up? I'm running about 34" right now. I love the way the truck drives with Continentals and towing but it is squishy with All Season Toyo's. Wondering if a lift kit would be required for a bigger tire? I'm not interested in increasing suspension height right now. Thanks.

[@MarkyMark2003]

I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500hd with the gas 6.0L. Would I have to rear gear my front and rear dif if I went from the 35s that I am at now to 37s??

[@CJCOffRoad]

That honestly all depends on your driving style and usage! If you're hot shotting with the truck probably, but if it's just a daily driver and off road rig, most likely no.

[@MarkyMark2003]

Ok, I also plan to put a 2.3l whipple supercharger too at some point

[@rascal0175]

I’m an old (77) guy new to this. I have a stock ‘05 Dodge 3500 4WD Cummins I want to put 35X11.50R17s on. A little internet research tells me this will work, the local tire shop says it can’t be done and that the tires will rub. I’m not doing anything special with the truck. It does not have a lift kit. I just want a safe install with tires I already own. You seem really on top of this. What do you guys think? Thank you.

[@davidhurley5123]

I have a 07 dually 3500 ram 4wd Cummins I have 35/12.50/17s on mine I did have to do a 2” spacer between the rear but the front doesn’t rub at all if you don’t want to do spacers in the rear between the duals about the largest you can do is a 10.50 wide I had 265/70/17 on it those are 10.70 wide and I had maybe 1/2 inch between the rears hope this helps if you have any other questions just let me know

[@rascal0175]

@ Thank you. Mine is a single rear wheel with E rated tires. Not looking to go 4 wheeling, just making use of a set of tires I came into. Not really concerned about appearance. I do have a 16 foot dump trailer I occasionally tow. And being a pickup truck the bed does get loaded from time to time. I don’t know if my tire shop was on the level or just didn’t want the work on a Friday afternoon. They assured me the 35X11.5/17Rs will rub with my stock wheels. It seems to me the wheel wells are ample but I can’t see beyond that without getting it up in the air. Of course it has to work under foreseeable conditions. Not just standing still. I know zero about this stuff. Big wheels and monster trucks were never an interest. Thanks for your input. I’ll add it to the mix.

[@stevensyrko7109]

the only issue I seen going from 33s to 38s is the turning radius. it went from relatively easy on the 33s to turning a school bus 3-4 point turns..I have a 07.5 Chevy 2500 LTZ. I kick myself for going with the 10in lift and 38in tires. should have stuck with the 33 or 35s and would have been much happier. Don't get me wrong the truck is a show stopper I have gotten positive comments from grandparent age and young folks, yes I am 47 :)

[@designfabrication512]

I’m running 37s on 17s on my 3rd Gen. Had to trim the wheel wells but damn they look sweet……. 35s looked a little too small

[@michealcavanah8659]

2007 gmc with a 4.8 sitting on 17s and 40s with 456 front and rear gears

[@dave4347]

I'm pretty set on the 2.5 inch leveling kit with 35s for my Ram. If I were to step up to 37s, would you recommend the 3.25 lift kit over the 2.5?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Both actually offer the same clearance for tires, so it's all about what you prefer. 3.25" will ride significantly better as you replace the rear coils. To fit 37s on a Ram truck we recommend a +12 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9.5.” A +12 wheel will yield a slight poke from the fender, while a +27 wheel is just about flush with the side of the truck.

[@johhnysg8485]

On the newer ram 2500 is fitment the same on both rear air suspension and coiled trucks with a carli 2.5 level kit? I have a 24 ram 2500 with rear air suspension and want to do 37s on 18 on a carli 2.5 pintop level. Will they fit?

[@bchnnsm]

What about duallies

[@Xposthmous]

My neighbor has a truck with a two foot lift and I believe his tires are 50-52's. It's insane.

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

What about those tires with no sidewall, opinions? How about gas mileage? Truck already gets bad gas mileage, how much worse?

[@garhask4432]

What about 34x10.50R17?

[@SalvadorAviles408]

Waiting for July 4 hopefully some discounts on Mickey Thompson Baja boss at 37/12.5-17

[@JJBIRDIEGOLF]

Getting ready to buy a Ford 350, I want to put 38 x 15.5 with a 6 inch lift. Can I do this? Thank you

[@chasehf36]

Any videos of that 3rd gen in the background?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Soon!

[@tyler87kelley]

I really wish with the ram trucks with the air suspension that if you offer a 2 inch lift for the front I want 2 inches of lift for the back. If I want the truck to ride level I will hit the alternate trailer height button on the dash.

[@CJCOffRoad]

We offer air specific systems with 2.5" front and 1" rear lift or 3.25" front and 2" rear lift. Both result in a level truck!

[@johnwayne5976]

Wow awesome video, thank you. I learned a lot.

[@cobeytriche4808]

Putting bigger tires changes the gear ratio. Everyone lifts these trucks and put bigger tires and don't change gears.

[@ikemort6427]

Haha. You can go do that but anyone who knows anything about these knows that is not necessary.

[@johnm.515]

Bro science

[@Sickoloko24]

That f250 have 1200 pound feet of torque lol 😂 it can pull 25k it doesn’t need a regear newbie it’s a was of money if it was a jeep wrengler with 215 pound feet of torque I would understand why it needs a regear but not this stop speaking out your ass hole.

[@ACamaroGuy]

If you placed a 4" taller tire wouldn't you want to add 4" on the rim? On a truck, can you run lighter metals for the rim to help reduce weight?

[@CJCOffRoad]

No, since half of that tire height is above the center line of the wheel. On these trucks the small weight savings of a forged wheel etc doesn't really make an impact. It's maybe a pound or two at most.
