Wanting to replace tires with 37 12.50 BFG All terrains, how is the ride quality?

[Takecover]

My tires are due to be replaced soon, and I would like to go up to the 37's. I tried to do a search but no luck. I am wanting to keep my factory wheels and run the 37 12.50 AT's. I do not want the ride quality to drop at all, I really love the ride of my truck!! Are there any problems with the speedometer being off? Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes your speedo will be off. no you won't loose ride quality. if you don't have a lift you may want to consider one. the 37s will be fine unless you go up things like driveway approns in tight turns. they may rub in front a bit.

If anything, your ride quality will improve. Steering may decline, but very slightly (a little more wear & tear on steering linkages). You can have the dealer reset your computer for the larger diameter to correct the speedo, so no problem there. Biggest issue will be reduced acceleration!

I've been running the 37 ATs for the last year. Like Tower said, the biggest issue will be acceleration, though the chip upgrade helps tremendously there.

No issue elsewhere. Rubbing depends on individual H2s. Mine rubbed even with stock 35s. Almost no diff on speedo -- none that I noticed on my GPS nor those traffic speed displays. No diff on ride quality (other than obvious reduced acceleration above).

If you like the stock ATs, and you offroad where the little extra clearance would help, the 37 upgrade is a no brainer.

1-2mph speedo difference per gps and some rubbing at full lock with MT's, but nothing major.

NO Dealer.... won't and can't re-program for 37's

Good deal, thanks for the input all!! One last question, will these tires affect gas mileage much? I got 16.4 on a recent long trip and was quite pleased!

I have had 3 sets of 37" tires now and the $198 Superlift leveling kit has elminated ALL tire rub. I can't make them rub now.

No, they won't. And you should stop talking out of your ass. You have no idea what Takecover's criteria for ride quality include. And what do you mean by "steering may decline"? May??? You're really showing your liberal asshatedness with that vague double-speak.
