Trimming for 37's on a RAM 2500 Power Wagon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2022
- There will be a little rubbing with 37 inch tires, so you need to do a little trimming, especially if you want to take it off road. Here is a how to video of how to trim the pinch seam, and inner liner with a small filler plate to make things clean, tidy and professional. I've also added some RokBokz mudflaps to keep things street legal.
As an alternative, if you use Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm offset wheels (5.75" backspacing) with a slightly smaller 37" tire (Toyo Open Country RT Trail 37x12.50r17), you really don't need to trim anything to clear with no rubbing. For additional clearance while offroading, I did remove the lower trim piece right behind the front wheels and drilled a couple of holes on the bottom lip of the inner fender liner and pulled it back with some zip ties. For a view of that change, see the related video on my channel.
Is that a similar setup to an AEV Salta or Katla w/ KO2s? (36.5" actual height)
@@mammothwagon Yes. Similar backspacing. The loaded tire height is approx 35.5”.
Got lucky with my Wildpeak 37's no rub back when I had factory suspension
On my 2022 power wagon I'm running BFG KM3's On stock rims with 0 rubbing.
And yes I have put it through its paces.
BFG tires always run a little small these are technically 36.5 that is why I get away with it. I've run them for 8000 miles 0 rubbing through some really narly Logging roads in northern BC in the rocky mountains.
I knew going into it that these these tires always run a little small that's why I went with them so I didn't have to do any trimming plus the new KM3's Are an amazing tire.
Thanks for the info on the BFG's KM3's Danny. I have a 2021 RAM 2500 that I'm going to level with a BDS kit or do a 4" BDS lift, I will decide when I see how much funds the cash department has in it come that time. I have always loved the BFG's on previous vehicles however I have not experienced TOYO or NITTO.
Do you have any pictures?
I have lots of pictures, On road and off road, I have posted pictures of the wagon on and off road in the reply 3 times. I look it's there and then it disappears. Not sure how else to post photos on here.
There are photos of it on the ram form and I tried to post a link to it.
@@navymark101 anything over 3" and alot has to change, might want to consider a carli or thuren upgrade. Currently running a 2" front and rear
Why not melt the plastic and form it
Very nice! Makes all the difference with the right tools and craftsmanship!
Thanks!
Nice video. Can 37's be mounted on stock rims?
I’ve never seen any (in these videos diy videos) trim the pinch welds beyond the spot welds like you did. I’m sure you would have addressed it if it was a problem, but is there any need for re welding or, JB welding, or sealing in some way?
Great tutorial! Now, what's you plan for the 37" spare? I'm thinking AEV's vertical tire mount for my PW.
For now, a tire repiar kit, on board air, and a 35 under the bed. I will have to put the 35' spare on the front because the rear has a Posi. Its not ideal, but it will work. I need the bed for other stuff.
@@kmas0n2390 I get it. The spare does eat up the bed space not to mention the all the costs involved with running them. 37"s have proved to be an expensive endeavor for me HA!
I had my 37" spare in the bed for the 1st 4 months It was a nightmare!
Same as the other guy I finally fit a 35" Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT Underneath very tight yet it fit
@@dannycameo859 How did you have it mounted?
@@bradentokoly Laying flat with with trucker straps holding it.also a bakflip4.
That's why mentioned nightmare!
There was room for nato Gaskins gas cans on the one side it's still could be tied down to the passenger side Hooks.
basically was flat down in the top left hand driver side corner, with a trucker strap running through to the other corner corner and through the nato cans.
I towed An offroad trailer high clearance, With Max coupler hitch. Into back country in rocky mountains with the 37 in the back.
And the bakflip4, There is almost no room back there all summer for gear.
It took up half the bed easily.
I'm much happier with the 35" underneath again.
Have the same truck and was going to run 35s so I didn’t have to buy new wheels with an offset and have to trim things. I like the look of 37s but am also concerned about the ball joints and other components wearing out faster. What are you doing to save those components?
Bigger tires will wear out suspension and brakes faster. I'll replace as needed
I run 35’s, but I thought the point of the AEV wheels is that 37” tires fit without rubbing?
Not all 37s are the same size. The nittos barely rubbed. I've heard BFGs don't rub at all
Falken Wildpeaks are probably the best 37" inch tire to use if you wanna stay with factory lift. They're slightly shorter than most 37s
Thanks for the how-to!
No problem. The most common question I get asked is do my 37's rub. Yes. But not any more
Very nice
How do you like the n fab Rock sliders? are you thinking about switching to white knuckle
@@Brayfrait The N Fab are not sliders, just steps. And they are really nice as steps. The look good, are sturdy, and make getting into the truck much easier. But they would not hold up to a hard hit. I'll eventually get around to fabricating something myself!
Are those RokBokz the original or the XL size? Find they help much? I have gravel as part of my drive to town and have had a few pieces oddly come up and hit the body and door handle of all places. I'm also on 37s and AEV wheels on a 2022 PW
These are the original. Rocks do still occasionally come up, but i would say it's been reduced by 90%
Quick Bond and Pro Seal that shit!
Any issues with cutting the spot welds off?
Nice vid, appreciate the effort involved in getting close-ups of your work. I really hate being "that guy" but the cutoff wheel touching your left glove at 4:00 is cringe. And while pausing to note the time stamp I see your right forefinger blind behind the plastic in the path of the cut off wheel. I really like the tiny Dremel cut off wheels for tight spaces like this. Offered in sincere regard for your fingers on future projects.
I usually have the guard on, but it wouldn't fit! Thanks for your concern about my fingers though.
Off topic but what steps are those?
How do you correct the speedometer? I was told that the shift points will be different too.
I used the tazer from z automotive. Aev makes something similar too
Which version of the Katla are you running - 17x9 or 17x10?
17x9
👍
Are the tires 13.5 ?
I went with the 12.5"
Damn 37’s on stock lift? Or nah?
Stock suspension
@@kmas0n2390 gonna have to do this to mine now too. Same color! Cheers
