37 in tires on Cucv

[jaylsworth]

Ok, I have an m1008 thats stock right now except for a set of ORD zero rates. Id like to put a set of the 37in radial hmmwv tires on it. Im wondering what size lift I need to get without having to cut the fenders. It gets used mostly as a daily driver/farm truck so it lives its life on gravel roads and in the pasture for the most part, not heavy wheeling where you use the full suspension travel. Can I get away with a 4 in lift? Also, does anybody like one companies kit as apposed to another? Also wondering about rim width and backspacing for these tires. Anything else I need to be aware of? Thanks

If You don't want to cut fenders then you should probably go with a 6 inch lift! could use a 4 inch but would have to trim fenders a tad!

i have a five and a half or so lift i only had to trim the fenders because when i put zero rates up front i moved my axle forward. you can see what i mean on my build thread.

4 inch with 37 superswampers here with no rub unless in full turn with flex and then it only rubs slightly. My buddy has 38 thornbirds with 4 inch and rubs more but he also has more offset.
