Default Anyone running 37's with a leveling kit?

Ok, so I am REALLY wanting 37's Its a sickness, I know. I was looking at doing a leveling kit (specifically top gun customz steel 2" or 3" spacers and shocks), with a suspension upgrade in the future when I can afford it. Does anyone run 37's with just a leveling kit? It appears it COULD be done, but I am uncertain at this point.

not sure on Dodges i know on my ford 35's are about the limit with a leveling kit.

my friend has a 98 Dodge 2500 but i think he has an all around lift kit and he's on 37's if i recall and it looks like if it was any lower it would scrub like all get out.....

I can, and am running 35's on stock suspension, with plenty of room in the rear for 37's, but I am just concerned about the front. I don't offroad it, so flexing is not really a concern. I did find these pics of a truck with 37's and just a 2" leveling kit:


Looks like it should work for now... Now to decide if I REALLY need 37's.

EDIT: Apparently I can't hotlink pics from the site I found them at.... Sorry, No pics.

They'll fit but no flexing at all with the wheel turned, it will eat you fender alive. Why 37's? Just curious.

Just because mostly I really want load range E tires, and I can't get 35x12.50x17's in load range E most of the time. So far, the only two tires I've found in that size in load range E are the Hankook MT's and the Toyo MT's.

With a set of Carli control arms, no problem with only a levelling kit, but you need the arms to move the front axle forward.

Dodge Ram Control Arms and Dodge Ram Suspension System Components

Just ordered a set, and 37" Toyo M/T's

The 2 grey trucks on the Carli site both are running 37's
