I’m currently running 37” BFGs on mine and really no need to regear with the 10 speed. I’m sitting about 2” higher up front and stock height in the rear. Running the Fox 3.0 coil overs and shocks.

Holy moly, just a level?

How much rubbing do you have

No rubbing at all, i removed the crash bars and the giant chunk of plastic behind the back side of the inner fender. I then pushed the inner fender much farther back BFG 37s measure right at 36” so that helped. I’ll take some pics of the mods i did to get them to fit but it wasn’t that much and you can’t really tell i did anything!

What a baller. Good for you dude. How does it wheel?

I have 4.56 gears for my 72lb 34x12 E load Baja boss A/Ts and it’s faster than stock, wondering how 37s would fair.

Haven't had it out wheeling much really just bombing down super crappy oil field roads and it eats it up! I was contemplating running some 4.10s or 4.56s but the stage 2 Whipple makes up for any gearing I've lost

Any updates on the pics? I am curious what you did to accomplish this.

Chopping up your truck isn’t anything anyone here wants to do, including the removal of crash bars. But if you got 37s to fit with just a level, I think everyone is turning their heads to see.

Do you have the 5.0 or 3.5? Did you need to trim or remove crash bars for 37’s? Considering doing the same with getting fox 3.0 shocks

Nice rigs. New 2025 owner. Do the RCI Tranny and engine skids work with the stock bash plate? I’d like to keep it.

“We don’t do these things because they are easy, but because we thought they would be.”
But hey, the end result sure looks cool. Got the Baja Designs “behind the grille s8 kit” installed. I wanted the amber backlighting that the s8 had so I sent back the onx6 setup that I had originally ordered. I think I made the right choice. Next up are ditch lights and winch. Then I’ll get back to figuring out the suspension and mounting up these “37’s.

This s8 kit really highlights the depth of the tremor grille. It’s a cool look both with the backlight on and with the full power on. As a side benefit of specifically the tremor grille, you can simply reach through the large openings to adjust the angle of the light bars with them installed. Don’t think you’d be able to do that on a raptor.

Very cool. Great work

That’s a lot of work for 2x 10” light bars no? I’ve seen quite a few raptors with similar setups. Keeps the lights descrete

It sure was a lot of work for 2x10”s. Nobody said I made great decisions. I wasn’t a huge fan of what I saw for light mounts on the modular bumper and thought this might be cool. It may eventually get in the way of an intercooler when I decide on that set up.


However they do provide a really good amount of light. Baja does make some of the best stuff out there. I run diode dynamics on my other rigs but wanted something different on this one.

Update on the aforementioned 37's?

Regarding the Swarfworks hidden winch mount, I've also installed it with a Warn Zeon platinum 12s winch in a 5.0. Feels like a solid mounting platform but I've never really pushed (or pulled, technically) it hard. Accessing the winch clutch is a pain if you don't have the wireless, as you mentioned- I can attest to that.

I have had some connectivity issues, but what I've found is that the power switch on the winch itself was somehow able to turn itself off- maybe due to road vibration? This might be due to the unusual positioning the winch has to be in to mount it. That and the battery for the wireless controller is garbage. I have D-cell batteries in an old Mag-Lite that haven't been changed in 10+ years and still work, but the Warn wireless controller doesn't last 2 weeks due to its constant communication with the winch. Also, there is concern that the winch, being wired directly to the battery as mine is and left on constantly, will drain the battery but I've left it for a week mid-winter and it started right up for me. That said, I want to move the control module up off the winch and mount it and the power switch higher in the engine area.

Looks like it's going to be a great build!

I’m sure it’s blasphemous, but has anyone tried the harbor freight badlands 12k that you know of? Do they have the same bolt pattern of the Warn, or is there a plate that would accommodate that pattern with Swarfworks mount?

Im certain that the mounting is the same. Most winches use a fairly universal mounting pattern.

Actually...... Yes.

I got tired of waiting on the "Perfect" suspension so I'm going to just mount em up and thrown in the 6100's for now. I've got some rear shocks mounted that I'm currently working on for the platform that will optimize the rear travel instead of limiting down-travel as so many of these aftermarket rear setups do. Ill share more when I finalize that setup.

Please keep us updated on the rubbing off road. If they work I will do the same, however I need full articulation.

As do I. But I’m working on it. I really wonder how many that are running 37’s are rubbing when the rear is fully compressed like mine was on the rti ramp. Judging by the amount of room I could feel around the top of the tire when it was all the way up in there, even with up travel limited like I’ve had in some configurations, I’d bet they are rubbing.

Oof. I really hope it works. 315/70/17's are just too small lol. I want the ride quality of a big tire off road tbh.

Got the Swarfworks winch mount installed the other day. Man what a nicely built product. I see a lot of aftermarket bumpers etc roll through and this thing is a step above. The video on the website does a good job of walking through the install. When it comes to the fairlead, I did have to rearrange the spacers so they didn’t protrude as much as intended, but it’s cool that it can be rearranged to changed the amount of “poke” that you want.

Still working on this big tire thing. I think we’re going to have some interesting stuff coming down the pipeline for us tremor owners.
