Only one fellow 'mud can attest to this, but my truck rides very well. Keep in mind I built my 80 knowing it would spend 90% of the very little driving I do with it on the street and it would be used as my weekend/nice/date vehicle. You can't take a classy girl out in a truck that vibrates like crazy from the tires.....or wait maybe....
Ok I'm out, I don't have 37's or pictures....sorry hijack over and out!

Sure, my TSL/Irok statement is mostly a) tread noise (maybe not fair since I haven't run TSL's or Iroks and b) daily winter use. It's not like I didn't just put a 37" Interco tire on my rig, there is no reason why 36" TSL's would be terrible in the ride dept.
I remember when I first put 35" trxus on my rig and picked up my parents from the airport, and my mom comments on how nice my truck rides (of course that was also the F.O.R. suspension) and she has no clue about this stuff.
I think people who haven't run Interco tires recently have a misconception that these are terrible road tires compared to other brands. The trxus rides around town nicer than a BFG AT and nicer than Toyos (maybe not as round, but better ride for sure). The nice soft tread makes these things cushy, they are shockingly quiet, and they do take some weight but balance up fine.
I remember when I first when from 33x10.5 BFG AT ko's to 34x12.5 Trxus and I was scared I was going to screw up my family comfort only to find it actually improved noticeably as well as the huge upgrade in offroad capability. Gotta love it.

37” Irok’s on 3.5”BS bead lock rims
OME – J lift
OME – L shocks
Metal-tech 2” front steel spacers
Modified front wheel wells - now the 37’s stuff perfectly into the wheel wheels. Supper low center of gravity yet all the clearance of a full size 37. No reason to go any taller!

I think I am going to do somthing like that helocat.
I am running the exact set-up as Hello Kitty (I mean, Helocat.
) except I'm running 37x14.50x17 bias Iroks and a 3" BS on a 17x8 rim. Other than that, we are one in the same. Both of us have lowered our rear bump stop 4", but stock on the front. I have no rubbing at all.

Here's my previous 93 80 on 37 SSR's, 3.5" BS(I think), on J's and a 1" body lift! No rubbing!
Then here's my current 80 on 39's, 2.5"ome mediums, 1" spacers and 2" lowered bump stops! She mainly rubbed on the inside rear wheel well above the frame.
Now with the 420 & 423 ome 5" lift...rubbing is fixed!!

Here's Bobby White wearing IROK 36's which measure 37" when mounted. I think it's the skinny 8" rims with a 1350 wide tire.
2.5" lift, with some trip on the front fenders

True... But we still have the same suspension set-up.

No matter what Creeper....Orange will always crawl 2x's better!
This is a 55 I sold just before we moved to Vegas...I painted it orange and it turned out great!!!
Oh I love the Orange... I even helped with the Orange! I just like to make fun of Mark...
