Default Anyone using anything bigger than a 35" tire?

Just wondering if anyone was using 37" or 39" tires on their H3's? If so how high did you have to jack the truck? What lift kit did you use and did you do any T-Bar cranking prior to installing them? Thanks in advance.

You can do a 38" tire with a 10" lift. I have seen thier show truck...looked cool!

But would you still be able to offroad with them? Do they make lift kits that are rated for offroading? I.e. Would it hold up?

These trucks are set up soo nice stock, with a little cranking of the t-bars or a truxxx leveling kit you shouldn't need anything bigger then 35's. You really dont want to start messing with the geometry and losing your lower center of gravity. But anything is possible.

That, I can't tell you....I think it's all show and no go with a lift that high. Just do 35's on stock wheels....You can get a good deal on Cooper Discovery STT and not break the bank!

We've seen pics w/37's, but just how gutless do you want your H3 to be? The toll on acceleration on the street would be incredible.
