    No re-gearing. Really put the 37's on for RPM drop as opposed to good looks and off roading. 11's!!!! That's gonna be awesome. I probably cant get into the 16's with my little XZT. Am planning on stacking with the Diablo Predator since I already have the pressure only tune on the XZT, gotta save up for the Recon XZT guages first. This Navy pay and a new baby are making that take longer than Id like. Thanks!

    Don't suppose you remember the rpm drop do you?? What is the overall feel of the truck onroad with the bigger tires? (sluggish like it's undergeared now or just right?)

    What kind of leveling kit did you use? Would you recommend it?

    Sorry for all the questions, but I have a similar truck and I'm going to 42's on my jeep so I'll have a brand new set of 37's to put somewhere!!

    Havent figured out the real speed yet, A guy on TDR with my setup said his GPS said 72 at around 2000rpm. Truck feels good on the road other than a little vibration from the tires. They are used and have some slight cupping though. Definately not sluggish, still dont need 1st gear, plenty of torque 4 these tires. Think the leveling kit is a tough country or a topguncustomz, but I got it used from a TDR member. I would recommend it over a poly lift kit, and it's only like $90 from topguncustomz. Still trying to figure out the speedo, as all the conversion charts Ive seen dont account for the OD, just 1:1 I believe. Anyone know how to convert it? Thanks.

    did you try www.4lo.com check the ideal ratio chart. I think it will tell you actual change at any speed you want just enter old tire size vs. new . Did you say that all you did was level it for 37 ???

    Yep, 2"s up front is it. Close as I can come up with is the speedo is about 10MPH slow. Thanks for the link.

    With the 35's on our truck and 3.73's, we hit 2000rpms at 77mph.

    do you have automatics? The G56 has a little lower OD ratio than the AT or the NV5600
