37's on a 4x2? Thats a no-no. At most go 35. I think would be more fun on your wallet and truck to stick to 33's at largest

for 37s your gonna need spindles, 3 inch coil with new control arms, blocks and shackles in the rear, and a 3 inch body lift. and soe lovely new gears as well.

stock gears and 35" tires make the truck a very sluggish ride, 37" and you might as well start saving now for the new transmission and gears to go with it
