  • M37 axle housing

    Hello, i need to know height from floor to bottom of axle housing in inches on M37 so I can jack the truck up to put jack stands under it so I can change tires. My truck is in transport so I can't remembe the size or tall jack stands to use. I run 13/38/16 super swampers. Would appreciate any help. My existing stands are 3 from from harbor freight and go up to 16 and 3/4 inches. Hope they fit. thanks.

    13/38/16 is an odd nomenclature but I assume that means 38x13-16 (Height x Width - Diameter), so just based on math center of tire is approximately 19" off the ground (based on a 38" tire height, which is probably within 1/2" of actual height depending on rim width). The axle tube is only probably 3" or 4" in diameter and you need to get them off the ground so figure you need at least that 19" and probably more.

    Might be time for the medium sized jackstands, the truck is heavy enough it's a better idea anyway. Hope your jack goes up that high though!
