Arrow 37" tires

Will a 3" body lift, a leveling kit, and 2" blocks on the rear clear 37" tires all around? If so, how many inches from the top of tire to the top of the wheel well? And how many inches from the side of the tire to the sides of the wheel well? I know its a bit much but I need to know for a friend. Thanks in advance.

Not without a little trimming and remolding the wheel wells with a heat gun! I have a 3" body lift, 3" front leveling kit and a 3" rear add-a-leaf. I had to get an angle grinder and cut out some of the front fender and do a lot of remolding! But it can be done! And I have no rubbing now!



I have fender flairs and so my measurements are 9 1/2" from tire to fender flair in front and 10 3/4" in rear.

My rear add-a-leaf is broken in and was about 11 1/2" in the rear when I first installed it!

As far as they stick out, That depends on the backspacing of the wheels and the width of the tire! You can be anywhere form 1" out to 3" out!

That gash is wicked man. How much remolding did you do and long did it take. Thanks.

It took about an hour to remold the wheel wells! And after I took it our 4 wheeling I could see all the clean spots and remolded one more time for about 30 minutes to get it perfect!
