dont F around with tow rig tires, i will tell you first hand a blown steer at 75 MPH hawing up a hill is no fun

I has been thinking about get one of those 37's.

Which rims you're thinking about to get? lift or trim to fit?

Reid's 37s... Looks awesome

It was different, but I liked how I could use the torque through all the gears. Would pry be a lot different towing. It was raining and phone speedo sucks, but 70 seemed like a little over 2k.

Chad says they are too much for towing with 4.10s. All 35" options for 16s or even 17s are almost all D range and should be put on wider rims. 19.5s are going to cost $1400ish between rims and tires... That just seems like too much for a $4k hawg. The $800 37s seemed perfect haha

If I go 16.5", pry just get steelies like those. Priced them $300 shipped from Summit.

What about getting a 355 axle?

[mr.mindless]

37s just look right.

With a mildly turned up 12v I can't believe that towing performance would suffer that much - especially with a single tow. On the other hand you're asking a LOT more of the brakes.

And the pos nv4500

I don't think I'd worry single tow...

On the other hand, higher RPMs make that POS live a happier life.

I'm not sure about summit racing's cheap black 16.5" rims as most of them are only rated around 2,000 lb each.
 
Basically soon as the truck get hooked to a trailer with the jeep, the wheels' "overloaded".

In the pic, do they rub? Look like no lift. What wheels are those in the pic?

I did some searching on those military 37's and I found that some said they mostly measured out to be 35"-36" tall. So if that's the case, that'll help with the fitment and towing power over true 37" tall tires.

I might gonna try the stock double beadlocks H1 rims with spacers if I still can't find rims I want with good load rating and proper backspacking.

Did some highway driving tonight:

2250 at 55

1700 at 55
1800 at 60
2100 at 70

55-60 could be a little tough, but not awful I don't think.

These 37s measure 34.5" with weight on them. Same as my Creepies though which run pretty true to size (but with a 4.0 on them, not a Cummins.) If militaries run the same, could potentially be a good combo.

[Harrison]

Brett, those are 4.5" BS 17s. No lift, rubs the inner fender when turning. Easily trimmable I'd say.

[Harrison]

Picked these up. 4 on rims and a rimless spare for $450. Hard to pass up. Smooth on the highway, need some trimming ASAP.

[etk300ex]

Looks good!

Thanks guys. I'm quite fond of them, actually. Noise level is noticeable, but not annoying (IMO.)

you're asking a LOT more of the brakes.

This is an issue, though. That knuckle swap gone, Mike? Need to look into that.

[mr.mindless]

You can DIY for cheaper than I'd sell you my parts - and I have DRW hubs too. For the best Ford brakes you want the 95-97.

easiest to just get a whole axle but you can save a little coin piecing together, some D50 TTB stuff crosses over. I think the knuckles differ but the rest is the same? I can't remember for certain.
