Do you have a SOA suspension? Body lift? An itching to put your sawsall to use? I doubt over 34" will work without one or more of those.

Do you have longfields or lockers up front?

Yes 37's should fit as long as your springs ain't to saggy

 

[mannytheman]

yeah lockers up front but no longfields.
im not worried about fitting i just dont want to break stuff.

as long as when you are rough on it your wheels are pointed straight you will probally be ok.
if its a good deal get em.

all depend on how heavy you right foot is. each tire size you go up does put more strain on the system.
