Hey Kev. I was wondering what exactly the 37 inch tires were rubbing on that would call for the torsion bar crank? Do you think that if the truck wasn't going off road you could get away without the crank? I like the look of the larger tires but would rather leave the stance alone if possible. Still kicking around tire ideas.

The potential for rubbing is always in relation to the sway bar. And this only at full lock either way. The best way to minimize rubbing is to stick with a 12.50" wide tire and not go as wide as I did...I need the extra floatation off-road, besides my tires are advertised as 13.50" wide but are actually 14.50" wide so it makes things even closer but the lift removes most issues until off-road!

Just wondering if you will have problems with ABS or tranny shift points if you go with a 37" tire? I know the speedo will be off a bit. I would rather not have to use one of those programmers like predator etc.

Queesway warned us that changing tire size can throw off the tire pressure sensor on the H3 causing it to have to be rechipped

No issues whatsoever with ABS or Tranny shifting, and I have been running with the 37s for 2 years! The chip is coming but I have other mods to do first!
