I highly doubt you will be able to clear 37's with that set up

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

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
