GM spent lots of money on the development of the H2 and chose 35's, not 37's. Yes, the 37's look cooler but we are talking performance on and off road. I considered bigger tires for clearance but came to the realization that it feels a little better to sit low and drag the bottom particularly on some of the inclines we have been doing! Let's face it, the possibility of snapping something on the front end is greater with the 37's period and if you take it to the dealer with something snapped on the front AND you have 37's on the truck the first thing the dealer is going to tell you is you modified the truck from stock and you are responsible. Don't take my word for it because I just spoke to the parts manager at Sherman Oaks yesterday and that's what the told me. This includes lift kits too because he had a guy come in that ruined the entire front end who had a lift, 37's blah blah, way too much pressure on the front. The GM engineers are a smart bunch. In this instance I really would not second guess them unless you have a great relationship with your insurance agent.
