Will 37s fit with just a t bar crank?

I got a good offer trading my 35s for 37s I was just wondering if they'll fit? I only have the t bar cranked. Should I crank it higher?

crank & a 1" body lift will do 37's, but keep in mind that's a lot of stress on the drivetrain, things break wheeling on 35's if you're not cautious to an extent.

Would it be ok if I just drive with them without a body lift (no off-roading). I will probably get my bl a week after the tires

Your tires will fit but will rub the rear of the front fenders when turning.
With 35s, turn your steering wheel and check your tire clearance at the closest point, do you have over an inch there?

I will have to check that later but do yall think it would be ok just to drive with it? Until I get my bl

He just told you how to answer your own question. We can say yes, and we can say no. Does it matter either way. Go check and see for yourself. Answers aren't black and white as tire type/brand play a part in whether they will fit or not due to circumference differences. Personally, I would not do it, but it's your rig.

+1 on the long wait time. Took me quite a while too. 4-5 weeks I think. Do you have an alpha? If not, the little I5 will struggle it's @$$ off.

Yea if it was mine I probably wouldn't unless it's one hell of a deal and then I'd try not to drive until the daystar got there. But even with that some ppl still rub a bit, you might need to do some trimming

Someone posted a picture of an H3 on 37's with no lift. It may "fit", but don't try flexing it. ;)

Yeah it could fit, but not worth trying until you have a BL or Rancho.... I rubbed a tiny bit with the Rancho lift and 37's when they were new and had full tread.

Yes it would fit..

After stuffing the rear on 35's last weekend, I don't see how there is much more space for 37's. It must be a tight fit.

No body lift, I took the picture out of one of the Hummer threads about H3's on 37's. Can't remember which.

Rear stuffed, 35" (34.4 OEM specs) tires and a body lift. I am running -12mm offset wheels at the back (tires are 2" out from stock offset).
Im sure 37s and no b.l. will be worse than this!

With shackles in the back and 35's I have rubbed the inner fender liner and I've seen fender liners ripped out on similar H3's on the trail with me. Going to 37's would need a 1" BL as a minimum, but I still think that under hard wheeling you would be hitting harder than you want. Slow and careful would be the name of the game.
