Yep. The 2nd half of 2022 was a $#!t show trying to get everything I ordered and paid for to actually arrive, but it eventually did in late Nov/early Dec.
Put 37's on my Gladiator diesel and as long as I was on flat land and no wind the factory 3.73 were fine. It was quite annoying when in hilly or windy conditions with the trans always shifting between mostly 7th and 8th but sometimes down to 6th. I had truck regeared to 4.56. Got trans shift points and power back to factory and much improved gas milage and power and no constant downshifting.
I just got back from a trip to Minnesota on the 37s, MPG up was 30, back was 22. I'm guessing up was with the wind and down was against the wind. Still made it 8th frequently, but not the constant that is was on the factory tires. If I was to regear, 4:56 was also what I was considering.
The factory track bar does not allow for a 37" spare to fit, that's why I upgraded to Clayton's - it does. I believe it's the same part for diesel and gas.
I got the lift+tires installed last week (just uploaded a short video showing it afterward), and we immediately got some snow. Just a couple inches though, so I don't have any real world testing to report on yet. We'll see what the rest of the season throws at us!
@Lowlander keep us updated on that please. I plan to get a gladiator down the road. I would prefer the diesel. But still up in the air. I also would prefer 37s, but I don't want to pay to change the gearing.

5 tires with 3 wheels and…1 on the way? 🤔

Is the rear track bar made for having the 37? Does it work with gas gladiator.

Love those tires…. Do you think they’d do good in the snow?
I wrote that before ya mentioned the peaks and siping

Are you having to change the gearing with it being a 37?
With the diesel's torque, I'm hoping not. I'm going to try it as-is for a while and see how it does.

You got it!
