Hey guys. I want to get a little better in the mud. Right now im running 35s with a 6 inch lift and no fender trim and i have a good amount of clearance with no scrubbing. Depending on how much i trim the fenders, could i fit 37s possibly?

of course you can. just cut. but the real question is what axles you have. the d30 front wont hold up and a d44 or 8.8 you will be pushing its buttons.
