Re:tires and springs
Welcome to the board, don't worry about Junk, he's always like that, in fact he seems in a good mood today.
37" tires is a major project. I would start at Slee Off road's site and review their article on runing 35" tires. I am sure if you took your truck to Slee they could get 37" tires to work, but the price would not be cheap.

Re:tires and springs
Read the guide on Christo's site about 35's. If you STILL want to go to 37's, then you'll have a good idea it will take a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to do it RIGHT.
Not too many people find a need to go over 35's and still run some pretty hardcore stuff.

Re:tires and springs
Hooligan,
There are a lot of things you will have to change. Here is a friend's truck that is running MT/R 37 tyres on 17" wheels. At the time of this picture it had 5" lift and virtually no compression; just axle droop. He was waiting on 8+" springs but I haven't seen the truck since this pic.

Re:tires and springs
Junk,
I'll give you his name and contact info off list if you're interested. He's a friend that lives in town but he's not in our local club and he doesn't check this board. He is on the 80s international list.
It is a very nicely rigged truck. I'm trying to get him to build me a rack like that one. It's all aluminum and he made it himself. Unfortunately he doesn't have access to the equipment but he offered to make me one if I can get access (rent?) the right welder and a tubing bender.
He had J-springs on before the 5" springs in this picture. He wasn't happy with the 5's so he had some 8's custom made. I bought his J-springs and was picking them up when I took the picture.

Re:tires and springs
He's gotta lose the clear corner lamps though and get a front bumper. 
This weeks project is bending up a ladder for one of the rear swingarms. .... if I get enough time off the new job (lol - some ijut is paying me to weld
). Guess there IS a sucker born every day.

Re:tires and springs

Re:tires and springs
Christo ran 37' Swampers on the school bus, and Pat takash runs 37 MTR's on his 80 as well, or he did when we wheeled in Arizona last?
Some form of bumpstop adjustment or body lift, or circumsizing the fenders would be needed to stop them hitting though.
BEcause if your tyres dont rub, it means you can fit bigger ones.

Re:tires and springs
Rick,
Custom springs from somewhere in CO.
Joe,
I'll have to ask him where he got the lenses but, as I recall, he got them from Japan.
ovrroks,
He told me the brand of wheels but I forgot. I'll have to ask again.

I'd LOVE a set of the Walker rims, But I'm getting married in 12 days (Sept. 20) and need to watch the cash $$$$$
We are going to Canada (Banff/Lake Louise area) for the honeymoon, maybe I can talk her into driving a DIESEL back across the border.
Thanks Beowulf, they look like they may be American Racing... If you look closely it looks like the "AR" logo on the center caps...

Re:tires and springs
you guys want diseasels because you cant get them, the 4.5 in the later, and 100 here go harder than any of the toyota diseasels, even the 1hdfte....
And if you put a turbo and intercooler on the 4.5...no comparison, and economy improves.

You have it backwards, you should spend the cash now because it is the last time you will ever have any in your life. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Cary- A married guy.
Oh, and when you think that your wife taps you out, wait until kids come along. Mine is not even born yet and is costing a freekin fortune.
Good luck at the wedding and have a great honeymoon. My suggestion is to have ONE OR TWO drinks before the ceremony. DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN THIS. The drinks will help take the edge off the stress (i.e. if you screw up, she will be very dissappointed) but will not be enought for you to do something stupid.
