    The bigger tires do look better, but I don't like the extra weight or less power. I'm keeping my truck the way it is. Thanks for this informative video, you do a great job doing interesting topics that keep the subscribers coming back. 🖒

      I was in the same boat, the power and performance of this truck with 35s is awesome. 37s are more of a headache than they are worth. But they kept giving me 37s and I can’t let them go to waste

    It's your truck you can absolutely do as you wish. My impression of the truck, I have a 2019 Raptor, is its dialed in perfect to me with the 35s. It seems like the mods you have done could have caused you some of the issues you have had.

      Thanks man. I’m in agreement with you and mentioned it several times over my videos. Only reason I did this video series is for 2 reasons. 1. Too much bad info online on 37s and the Gen2. There are way too many posers and pavement princesses that say it works with light trimming. In the next video I proved it wrong. And showed what it’s actually required just to clear them.
      2. I was given 2 free sets of 37s. It was either sell them or use them. I picked the let’s prove some of the myths wrong route. A route I’m really not liking. 37s limit the truck and cause so much more wear with a stock ish setup.

    Great video and informative on pros and cons on fitting 37s. Maybe look into regearing to 4.56 gears from the stock 4.10s to bring the powerband back to stock and get rid of the sluggish heavier feel with the bigger tires. I have the Cobb accesport with tcm and so far I like it. It gave noticeable power and made driving in sport mode enjoyable and got rid of the clunky oem shifting in that mode. Here in the southwest where I live we only have 91 octane so I can only use the 91 octane program but I believe in California you have 93 octane readily available to use the 93 octane program for bigger gains. I also think you had a programmer on the previous truck but removed it cause it gave you codes or problems not sure. Well anyway, great video and looking forward to possible front suspension upgrades

    • @KeepItDirtyOffRoad
      @KeepItDirtyOffRoad  4 года назад

      Marco Perez 93 is hard to find in Cali. Texas is where it’s easy to get.
      I did run the Cobb tune in the last truck with 37s and I did not like it. Back then there was no transmission tuning and I had to reset ECU almost weekly to get the truck from shifting all hard. The tune also did not really help on the top end. It felt like once you hit 75-80 she had nothing more to give with 37s. Trying to get over 90 on dirt was just not possible and signs of an incomplete tune because she kept overboosting too. It a fan of the Cobb tune.

  • @KristopherDerentz
    @KristopherDerentz 4 года назад +3

    Great video. One thing to note however is that 37s don't always weight more. For example the Factory Beadlock wheels and stock KO2 tires are 107 lbs, the non-bead lock wheels and factory KO2 tires are 100lbs. Most of the aftermarket wheels weight less. So for example my Fifteen52 traverse HD wheels are 29.88 lbs and 37" KO2 are 69 lbs for a total of 99lbs. The 37" KM3 are 77 lbs so with my wheels its a total of 107 lbs. They do change the gearing slight due to the increase in overall diameter.

    • @KeepItDirtyOffRoad

    Well done, I did the same thing on my 2017 back in January, I put a few coats of flex seal on the bent pinch welds instead of paint( and wish I had started with caulk in the cut lines first) to help reseal up the outside elements from entering into the cab.
    And yes a long handle 12lb sledge along with an short handles 8lb did the trick for me, but still took a sh*t ton of beating to get them flat. The second side took half the amount of time though after I learned how to do the first side, lol.

    I wonder if using two 12" adjustable wrenches tightened down at the edges of the bend and inserting a steel rod through the holes at the end of the wrenches then pushing on the rod would have made it easier to bend those pinch welds.
    Maybe, maybe not but leverage is your friend.
    Seems like there would be enough room and the distance in between the cuts is small so even though the wrenches wouldn't be exactly parallel to each other a smaller rod should still fit through both holes and what's important is the distance that is now much greater away from the bend giving you extreme leverage.
    Many times at work we come across obstacles we simply couldn't do unless we figure out a way to utilize leverage and then the impossible task becomes real easy.
    Great video.

    • @KeepItDirtyOffRoad

      Not enough space for leverage unfortunately and as the pinch welds bend they go flat on the body. This is one of those rare cases where brute force is the only effective option

      Your ripping fenders off.
      Sorry. But have to be honest man. Stock wheels are at 38 offset. The max most run with 12.5 is 0 offset. And they still touching but not rip fenders off, just touching.
      I ran 0 offset with 13.5 Nitto terra grapplers and basically came up right to the range of the stock fender. Popped off the fender trim a few times in o shit moments.
      With any form of negative offset your ripping off stock fenders and most aftermarket fenders too. Specially with -44mm. That’s almost 1.75 inches wider. If the tires go full tuck that’s ripping the fenders off and causing some damage.

    Hello , I own a 2017 Raptor .Do you think the Fabtech Suspension Lift System 4" is a good choice to put a 37 tires . Thank you so much for your videos

    • @KeepItDirtyOffRoad
      @KeepItDirtyOffRoad  3 года назад +2

      A “lift kit” is the worst thing you can do to a Raptor. Specially if you want to put 37s on the truck. For one, the lift kit removes any off-road capabilities of the truck. The shock spacers they use will collapse first wash or small jump you take at speed. It also changes the suspension geometry such that it eliminates most of your suspension travel. And finally, you still have to trim because the tires will rub a lot.
      Don’t put a lift kit on a Raptor.

      I get asked this question a lot. For me jury is still out on catch cans. For the most part turbo engines are designed to burn a little bit of oil as part of their normal operation. Reducing how much gets burned is a good thing BUT there is no solid information out there on the actual benefits of a catch Can. I’ve seen more bad than good actually because it’s hard to distinguish between a well designed system and a bad one. At the end of the day, there is no solid info out there to show me the benefits aside from catching oil so it’s going to stay off my truck.

      R OK, that’s what I hear everyone say. But even with a catch can you can’t avoid it all. And I’ve read other complain of catch cans causing codes or loosing power after installing at Catch can. Personally, I would rather not risk it. The companies that makes them for the most part are not engine builders or designers. Catch cans are easy to make and they copy designs and don’t do any proper testing. Differentiating between a well designed catch can and a bad one is also difficult.

Truck just did not have the power to pull away on the dry lake beds anymore. 37s need regearing and a tune to compensate. When I took mine back to 35s, it was a huge difference.

      Considering 37s.. my panned mods are sdi top hats with camburg kinetik control arms. Camburg say those are wider track to fit larger tires. They also recommend wheels with zero offset,with 4.75 backspace, which i will get.
      1) any thoughts on camburg? Aside from not being chromoly or long travel... I'm ok with staying close stock.
      2) do you think that'll be enough to clear 37s, with keeping stock travel?
      Thanks

    • @KeepItDirtyOffRoad
      @KeepItDirtyOffRoad  2 месяца назад +1

      Ok, so agree with the top hat. Don’t agree with the arms.
      I’m not a fan of upper control arms upgrades at stock suspension travel. They offer very little benefit. They are more for show than for functions AND the joints don’t last as long as sealed ball joints and super expensive to replace. So I don’t recommend upgrades if you plan to stay stock. Also the reason they recommend 0 offset wheels is because stock offset will rub on the arms because they are a bit thicker.
      So I don’t recommend the arms. Focus on the top hat replacement plus trimming and you be fine. If you want a different look, then get the wheels. But don’t spend the money if the arms. They are mainly bling and won’t really add extra capability.

      @KeepItDirtyOffRoad  2 месяца назад +1

      @salhernandez83 again, at stock width there is not much benefit to them over stock. They make aftermarket front bump kits if you want that that will fit stock arms.
      But if you want to use a bump stop to avoid rubbing, that’s not going to happen. Bump still allow you to go full tuck. They just soften bottom. If a bump kit prevents you from going full tuck, it’s reducing travel which it’s worse.
