I know 'Fat Amy' had 37's, that the largest I've seen on this Forum, It was For Sale right around the time I was looking for a 200, would've been awesome, but decided to go with my stock 2014 LX instead. Anyone here have > 37's ?
Fat Amy
 
Yes, who can forget Fat Amy. One of the finest big bottomed girls I recall on these forums. Along with some others.


Fat Amy - 37x12.5 R17s. 1" body lift. Ironman Foam Cell Pro Lift with SPC uppers. KDSS relocation brackets.

I did 35’s for two years...
Truck happier on 34’s.

I have some like-new 35x22.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for sale if anyone isinterested. Nitto sent new ones and then I almost immediately went to 34’s so these 35’s are in crazy good shape. Still have the little stringy nubs on them...

I've seen you mention this a few times. What issues were you having with 35's? I haven't re-geared yet, and it feels no different than 33's (I drive like a grandpa since I have 4 car seats in the rig).

Also, why did Nitto send you replacements?
 
The lx takes 35s easier as there is no kdss. Also as the lift is part time don’t have to get UCAs

Editing details hard for me at the moment.

My original set was deemed defective rubber batch.

KDSS relo put strain on end links (bent) and steering rack was showing signs of issues. Went to 34’s to dump relo bracket and regain some power without regear.

About your not noticing no difference comparedto33...
What year LC are you driving?
If 2016+, OEM gearing is better able to handle 35’s than 2008-2015.

'15 with the 6-speed.
 
I just put my previous of 35x12.50r18 back on to see the difference from my new set of 285/75/17 and I can’t really say I’ve noticed much difference. It might need a tad more peddle to get going but other then that, it feels identical 🤷🏻 I am just going to leave them on and wear out the 35”s and sell off the 18”s when I put the new set back on. I kind of feel stupid for buying the new set as 35”s work pretty well on my’19.

FWIW I find I don't notice much difference between stock 31s and 34s except (a) when flooring it off the line (which, while I am heavy on the gas, it's rare for me to floor it from a stop) and (b) when towing, particularly on the highway. I do always keep the truck in "ECT PWR" mode though. That said towing into a headwind or (oddly) with a crosswind, particularly on a very slight grade on a long stretch of highway, can be tiresome.

In your case going from 34s to 35s is a marginal change and you're right you probably won't notice it much. Going from stock 31s to 35s you might be more likely to notice.
