Default Going 37" BFG A/T? Anyone have em?

Anyone keep the stock BFG AT tire and just bump up to the 37x12.5x17 tire which is i think 36.5 inches? Any improvements in looks or function off roading vs the 35's. If you bump up to 37's, is it completely necessary to upgrade front steering components and suspension?

Also the guys running Cooper STT's think they suck on slightly covered snow/slushy/icy roads or they adequate as daily driver during winter in the NE. Anyone have to add sipping even though i know they are pretty well sipped for a M/T or recommend it. ( i do know they rock in mud, deep snow, etc)

I am stuck between do i stay with stock tire size and get the new Goodyear Duratracs (they only go up to 315's), or do i go 37's and pick between BFG A/T, Cooper STT, or Pro-Comp X-A/T and have to deal with suspension and steering upgrades.

im not running the A/T series, but instead the M/T on 20 inch rims.

you dont need to upgrade anything other than possibly trimming the plastic on the back of the wheel well where it will rub.

im not even sure if you will need to even crank your torsion bars. but as for anything else.. considering i just had the tires put on last weekend, i havent had to do anything except the plastic, tbars, and alignment. no rubbing at all.. even with wheels cranked all the way in turns.

everythign else is stock. tire size is 37x12.5 - 20.

if you go to the 13.5 width, then all i said above does not apply.
you still wont need to upgrade anything, but if you have air ride in the back, you will need to relocate the sensor. and you will always have rubbing unless you lift.
