Default Super swampers

So I bought some 33" duratracs in 15" wheels two months ago and now I want to go bigger. I don't want to get new wheels to keep the price down. I want 37"s it looks like my choices are super swampers are they any good,vibrations,wear and so on. I have a 2012 manual if I do go up I will regear. Just want your opinions on the tires. Thanks in advance.

Others will chime in, but you'll need a lot more than just gears to run 37's the right way

What gears do you have right now. Also I have 37 mud grapplers on mine with evo gussets and its fine. I wanted to get the boggers but next time they Hum loud as the ones I have it's fine with me though.

I keep pushing the send button on my iPhone. The boggers wear kind fast on street but are good offroad my friend has them on his ranger. The iroks are pretty good my other friend has 36s on his 06 rubi you can choose radial or bias for those. Ltbs are nice but its 35s then jump up to 39s or bigger. And that's all I know about swampers. There a perfect offroad tire but suck in the rain.

I have 37" irok radials on my 09 they work great just hard to balance little road noise but nothing major other than that I have been very happy with them plus they don't feel nearly as heavy as my buddies 37" boggers

Issues will be with 37's 5.13's is probably what you need for gears but thats a really small pinion on the dana 30, I would say if your going that dirrection you should get sleeves, gussets and maybe chromo ball joints while you have it all apart anyway as the stockers will not last too long with 37's. I ran swampers on my old jeeps and they are great off road but on road the performance is lacking and they wear fast. I had ltb's, ssr's and boggers (all hard to balance well)

on a side note since your in NJ you should check out globex motors in toms river they have a $999 regear special (where i had my gears lockers sleeves and gussets installed)

Yea I don't drive much I'm always at work. But when i do drive its about 100 miles im at 9.5-10 city and 13.4-15 hwy mpg. Oh man with 3.21s it'll be horrible I feel the power loss it takes time to roll. But it's livable I'll be going to 4.88s when I have money to do so. Pro-cal helps a lot so I'd say buy it and have it ready
