Default A "will this rub" and steering effort with 37"s question.

I am planning on running 37" x 13.50 Toyo M/T's on AEV Pintler beadlocks with a TF 4" LCG Long Arm. Will I have rubbing issues with the 4.7" backspacing?

Next is a question on larger tires and steering effort. Is anyone running 37"s without hydraulic assist? How hard is it to turn? Can you still "dry steer" or is turning only possible when moving? Trying to decide if I need to budget for a PSC kit or not.

I can't answer all of your questions but I have 37's with stock steering and it does fine. My 6 year old daughter can drive it around in the woods without straining if that gives you any indication. I can turn the wheel in my driveway (stopped) with no more effort than stock.

That's what I wanted to know regarding the stock steering. Thanks!
