Can I use the stock spare as long as I put it on the front or dont use the locker? Or should I quit being cheap and get 5 tires?
Does anyone on here run the 37" AT's?
Will they balance out as nice as the 35's do?

I like the thread title -- "
Mall Terrains".
I just tested by 37s and that couple of inches makes a big difference (for Procomp MTs which translated to exactly 36.9 inches). I banged rather reguarly on my custom skid plate with worn down 35s. Now I hardly touch at all. The ride is also smoother since you have more cushion in the tires. I'm a 37 convert and will NOT go back to 35s for sure.
The stock spare will be fine to get you off the trail and to a fix it place. You probably don't want ride with the smaller tire for an extended period of time.
If you get the larger tires - a MUST is the Rancho steering stablizer which runs around $50. I'd also upgrade to Fabtech DH tierods too.
