37's before leveling kit?

Victor K · Mar 22, 2023

Can anybody help. I'm going with some 37 inch Falken AT3 tires and the Carli 2.5 leveling kit. Current tires are bald, bald, bald. Tires and wheels are in and ready to go but leveling kit goes on end of next week. Anybody know if I'm ok to do the tires now before lifting?
Minimal driving on paved roads until lift

Are your tires so bald they're illegal (below 2/32")? Given you've gone this long it seems like going another week and a half should be doable unless you're risking being illegal. Just adjust your driving accordingly (mainly slow it down).

Otherwise I can't be of much help, unfortunately. Hope someone can get you an answer to your direct question!

Yes you can run them before level just take it easy with sharp turns

It will be very tight to run 37s without the front lift. I had minor rubbing on mine with the Carli 3.5” Back Country, so you will be in a much worse situation. It rubbed when I was turning and going up a sharp embankment or steep driveway. I trimmed a little piece of the inner fender liners on both sides and it has not rubbed since.

Back spacing on the wheels will make a big difference on how bad they'll rub!!!
