37" hummer tires on my 2500?

I think the hummer wheels will indeed bolt on, I seem to remember seeing pics... don't recall if any modifications need to be done though.
Even on a 2500 with 2" of lift, 37's are gonna rub in various places. You probably want at LEAST 4"s of total lift to fit those, a bit more would be better. Body lift would work, but, I am not a fan of body lifts.... up to you.

Pull the plastic inner fenders out, feed them to your local dumpster, and don't flex a whole lot. You will be fine.
I would use a wheel with less backspacing, those wide 37x12.5x16.5's will be doing all kinds of nasty things up against your control arms. give 'em some space

How would a 2500 with a 4"lift and 37" humvee tires handle a gooseneck? My dad has 16.5 rims and we have a set of those 37"s that he wants to put on, however it is mostly used for towing (re-gearing would have to be done)... i guess the real question is how tall is too tall for a gooseneck?

I would think that with that moderate build the deck height would be fine for a gooseneck.

I would look for some 16.5x8's (or 9's if you can find them) with no more then 4.5" of backspacing, and no less than, say, 3.5. Push 'em out too far and they will rub your rear fenderwell like crazy. You might consider looking at the Cummins forum to see, as I seem to remember a few guys running 37's with 2" spacers.

Well the first question is how that lift is gonna affect payload. If it uses stock rear leaves and blocks, throw some anti-wrap bars on and haul away. If it uses new leaves, most likely load capacity will be severely decreased.
