Ran them for 3 months. Awful. Went to 5.38s and much happier.

Ditto!! About to get 35 's but they look so good with 37s!

It's a daily driver and maybe some mud cpl times a year. Commute is 90 a day!

Not worried about mileage but losing what lil power we have!

I had 4.10's with 40"s for about three hours. While driving I was being passed by mopeds, people walking their hamsters, unicycles, a guy running a weedeater. Fortunately, I was only driving to Discount Tire to get my tires/wheels balanced and then shortly after took the wheels off to have my ProRock axles installed at a later date. Bottom line; 4.10's with 37"s would not be enjoyable.

Don't even think of doing this. You'll hate driving it. Just regear it or wait until you can and then run the 37's.

I do and it sucks. I lost 2-3 mpg when I switched to 37" Kevlars from 35" mud grapplers. Unless your on flat ground with a tail wind, expect about 260-270 miles per tank in a 4 dr, on a good day. Acceleration isn't bad on flat ground, merging onto the highway sucks, mountains really suck, crawling in rocks sucks. I'm getting regeared to 5.13 next week. I've suffered through it since August. I would not recommend it. I have a 45 mile per say commute, and no highway driving. It sucks, and highway trips suck alot more.

I have a 6 speed btw.

i was hoping the same thing. i am planning to do mud grapplers 37x13.50 and slab beadlocks for my DD any input towards them and the installation cost is just what is killing me on the gears!
