Based on carli leveling kit...
Who has had luck doing 37x12.5x20? Is trimming really needed? Would it be better to just go with 35x12.5x20? I plan to use aftermarket 10” wide wheels with the offset to match as closely as possibly the stock placement of wheels (so they don’t stick out super far)

Too narrow, that tire will require too much inflation pressure to avoid buckling the sidewall. I like a 35x12.5 and 37x13.5. A 37x12.5" is borderline but still needs around 45-50pis to maintain sidewall integrity.

I did the Carli Backcountry and am very happy. I ended up going with the add a pac as I thought I would be towing a lot. That isn't the case now, I am going to go full Deavers, if anyone wants the add a pack, give me a shout and lets work something out. I am in DFW, Texas. Only been on the truck 1,000 miles.

Hey folks, I have a 2017 superduty but am really contemplating getting a raptor for a few different reasons. Would anyone care to compare the carli pintop system to the raptor suspension? I understand the inherent differences off road, I am more interested in how they differ on road. Thanks much.
