37s in stock suspension

Here’s my stock suspension Tundra with stock 20” wheels and 37s. No rub. I did a lot of research and many people said it couldn’t be done. The truck drives as smooth as any stock tundra without compromising COG and droop travel.

You can follow me on IG @longborghini_wynn since I don’t post much here.

 

Looks right! What's your wheel offset?

 

stock +60 offset and 1.25” spacers

 

Not trying to sound like a debbi downer but you change the game once you go to 37's. If you wheel at all expect issues with ball joints control arms axle shafts etc. Truck looks great!

 

Wouldn’t recommend 20” wheels for off-road either…

 

Killer looking rig! Funny how people think you need a lift to run larger tires (I used to as well). If you actually use all your suspension travel, at some point in the range of motion your suspension will effectively be at stock ride height. If your tires don't fit at stock height, then they won't fit when your lifted suspension is compressed either.

 

THIS EXACTLY!!! A lifted truck isn’t desirable for many reasons. You want to fit the biggest tire with as low COG as possible. You start compromising a lot when you deviate away from the stock geometry.

 

Ideally 17”. But realistically, I’m mall crawling 70% of the time. And when I do off road, I’m not going King of Hammers, I’m on fire roads and mild obstacles. Key is to know your limits of your equipment, if I wanted a crawler I wouldn’t buy a tundra.

 

Good opportunity to upgrade as those weak points come up!

 

Can't disagree with you! Having said that, I do think there is a happy medium between gaining ground clearance and wheel travel with aftermarket coilovers without pushing it to the point where CV angle is compromised. It's like anything else in life, a little give and take.

 

When a lift is needed, I’d take inspiration from the TRD-PRO, which is a mild 2” lift. Toyota probably have done a lot of research into the longevity of components at this height.

 

So you don't need to extend the bump stops or anything to keep the 37's from eating the tops of the fenders/wheel wells when you stuff them?

I know on the 200 series Land Cruisers, they cannot run 37's without extended bump stops and/or cutting fenders or running a bodylift to gain more clearance above the tire. The extra 2.5-3" of tire radius puts the 37's into the tops of the wheel wells.

Also, are these a full 37x12.5 or are the skinnies. I know there are 37x11.5's out there now.

 

That would be my main concern. I've had many a lowered vehicle's tire chew into the fender or liner because of the same premise.

 

Maybe at some point I’ll do the “auto fender delete mod”, but right now, I plan on using larger bump stops to increase the effective spring rate and decrease the likelihood of the wheel hitting the liners on hard bounces.

Tire is 12.5” width. I would’ve used 11.5” if it was available from cheaper brands, but only Toyo makes them right now.

 

It it were me, I would run the extended bump stops and maybe do a small spacer on the coilover to regain some of that lost travel.

The TRD Pro trucks usually come with longer travel shocks comparable to the aftermarket extended travel coilovers so I think that Toyota feels the extra droop travel is fine for the CV's.
