Thanks! The tires I'm running are Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlars, LT285/75/18, or about 35x11.5" in inches. They were on the truck stock, and they fit beautifully, not rubbing even under maximum suspension articulation.

I would highly reccommend them.

I wanted those tires in that size for my truck but everyone was out of them in the whole country.

So I had to get the Duratrac 295-65-18 instead and they are pretty good tires. But I want some taller tires in the future. Hopefully when I need tires next time I can get those MT's.

If i had it to do over i think i'd have stayed at the 2.5" and 35's vs. 4.5" and 37's

It just isn't worth the additional fuel and problems getting into parking garages now at 7'2".

How on earth did you get 37" tires under a 4.5" lift kit? I've never heard of that before... pics please?

I have a neighbor about two houses down that has a 4.5" lift with 37's under it. Now it's a psd. And it's a 350 so I don't know if that matters. I will see if I can take a pic of it.

My truck looks like a 37" tire would fit under there without too much drama at all. I mean, my 35's fit just fine stock. Now if I were to go really wide, I might have some minor rubbing, but as of now there seems to be plenty of clearance there to go up a tire size.
