37's or No 37's

First I live in South Jersey so there are not rock hills and big areas of wilderness like some of you have, and I AM very jealous. But there are beaches and sand pits, along with the ocassional Pines mud pit. So most of the time my truck is on the road. But I still like the look of more aggressive trucks and tires. So here are my questions.

1. Will a 37" tire fit on a stock rim and under a stock H2 with air ride without mods?

2. Will I lose alot of performance going with a 37"?

3. Will a 35" X 12.5 fit under the truck without rubbing?

4. How good is a Truex lift with air ride? What do you do to the rear air sensors?

I am really ready to do something but I don't want to go to the shops, I want to ask the experienced guys and get the real facts. Thanks

Performance? I get Hundai's honking at me to pull over so they could pass me with my 37's. Performance is not something I would say it has...unless you are talking off-road. Make sure you tweak your torsion bars or you WILL rub.

I have 37.5x 13.5 on 20's, they tweaked the front torsion bars a bit to make it fit and I love the way it looks now. The car's look is night and day difference. I didnt regear, there wasnt a need for it since I always drove slow and didnt tow much. Now that I am looking into towing a 7,000 lb trailer I might get it done, still not sure. Any ideas on the cost? The speedo is off a bit, but power is fine. Breaking is a bit softer, but again it has been worth it. I get tons of compliments on the car. MPG did decrease to 9.5 in city driving, but again completely worth it.

I dont have the rear air suspension, so that is why 13.5 fit on my h2.

Truck looks great. So since I have the air suspension I couldn't run this setup?

37x12.5x17 and your all good. If you go with a 13.5 your going to have to modify your air ride sensor arms. There is a thread on someone that did it, with full details and pictures. Try the search, I don't remember who it was.

I have 37x12.5x17 Cooper Discoverer STT with no issues, minor rubbing at full lock, which is normal for everyone that has gone to 37's.

Just put in an order for those. Installed for $1,200. I'm guessing you've been happy with them. Are you frequently rotating them? Are you happy with the wear?
