Can you roll an old 37 next to your new set up and take a front photo so I can judge the actual width difference?

I may need to run and get some!!!

Best money I've ever spent. My Jeep hasn't driven this well in YEARS! It drives staright as an arrow, no death wobble, and no noticable loss in power.

I need to see if my black jeep will fit in the garage with those tires. I think they would only increase my ride height by 1", so I should be ok.

One day I'll come over and we can swap tires. Then you can chack all the fitments (is that a word?).

That would be3 great - and easy since we share the same bolt pattern. Is Rob 8-lug?

Were you having death wobble with the old tires? Nothing changed but the tires/wheels and it got better?

I had the death wobble cured beforehand, but was afraid it would come back with the larger tires.

Yup. They balanced nicely. One of them only took 3 oz. The worst one still only took about 7 oz. Pretty good for that big tire.
