Not everyone is a rock crawler bouncing off rocks, so 20's are certainly appropriate for some applications.
The OP has replied.....3 times in addition to the initial 2 posts, I think he's more concerned with getting the flame suit on than checking back to see the hate and shit slinging.

Ran 33s on my stock 18s and it drove fine. Switched to 16s on 35s and drives better. Running 30psi and its smooth. Although other factors play into ride quality. Control arms, alignment, shocks, springs etc.
Running 22.5s on 37s with my F450. Now that rides like a tank. My jeep is a cadillac compared to my work truck.

I swear as soon as you guys read 20" wheels you all become dicks
Vette you are welcome to come run my wheels if you want , I run 37/13.50/20 on a 10" wheel
To the OP I think most of you issues are used tires and toe , if you didn't fix your toe with the new wheels do it and getting used tires will carry their own issues because you don't know how the person treated them before . So your front tires can have different wear patterns and that could be playing a part also
37s on 20s is more sidewall then 32s on 17s , I have be dealing with people who always down my 20s until I take out a tape measure and start measuring sidewall , granted wheel width and actual tire size will play a lot into how much sidewall you have but just come out and dissing someone because they have 20s
And my jeep drives great and handles well
I even carry one on the rear

The now discontinued ProComp Extreme AT 37x13.50R20 is a load range E tire designed for an ubber heavy full size truck.
The tire width at the bead is 10". The maximum width spec for wheels should be 11". The OP is running a 12" wide wheel.
If he really wants to keep the tires, he could try a 20x9 wheel and run the tires at about 28 psi. The ride will still be very stiff, but not as bad as running too wide a wheel than is spec for the tire.

Nice to have intelligent comments on here! Appreciate it.

a 15.5" wide tire is 15.5" wide regardless of what rim you put them on. Having a narrower rim is going to make the tire appear to bulge more, but ultimately the tread is going to be the same width. Like I stated before, the wider (bulging) sidewall is going to conform to whatever hazardous, tire shredding obstacles you drive through much better than with the same tire on a wider rim. Only difference is that not only will you tear open your sidewall, you will also destroy your $300+ fancy 20x12" rims. I understand the point you were trying to make, I am just informing you that it is completely wrong.
Like I say???

37x12.50R15 (Loved those tires on and offroad. They were light--didn't drain performance. They aired down well to give amazing, tank track like traction. They were load range C--so they weren't stiff riding. With about 3-4 psi in them, I could drive on top of deep mountain snow without sinking--almost like a snowmobile track.)
My wife asked me to swap them to her rig because they rode so well.
If I could fit them over the upgraded brakes on my wife's rig, she'd have 37x14.50r15 Toyo MTs on 15x10 wheels.
