Re: will 37s fit on a 4 inch lift?
with these beig used tires I guess they would really be like 36.5s.
I have another question with a 4 inch lift do I have to do anything with the driveshaft or will the stock one work?

Re: will 37s fit on a 4 inch lift?
Nope, needs to be 6" lift at least. I've got 5" lift, with some fender trimming & 36s & they occassionally rub. But good thing about the military 37s is they don't have big lugs sticking out the sidewall that can catch a fender as easily when turning.

Re: will 37s fit on a 4 inch lift?
I run 33's with no lift and it's fine on and off road. I've never once experienced a rub even when articulated. 37's really don't sound that much bigger. Only 2" height difference at the tire when you figure the circumference. So in theory a 4" lift would be more than enough in my case if I wanted 37's. Albiet that doesn't take into account a really wide tire, which will make a difference.

Re: will 37s fit on a 4 inch lift?
I suppose if you stay on pavemnt for the most part you won't rub but it will be close...
The front of your rear wheel well and the back of your front wheel well will be the spots to watch out for... Good Luck and post pics

Re: will 37s fit on a 4 inch lift?
Like I said before I would cut the front if its an issue because new fender are so cheap but the rear I really would wanna keep factory.. just incase I decide to sell it later on down the road. and looking at some of the trails you go down I dont think I will be doing anything that crazy. just some fire roads with some mud holes

You will rub on turns. I have 37s with a 6 inch lift and it rubs.
