If you're talking non-squatch base probably not with a lot of success...gearing would struggle w/ the 37s.

base with a 2 in rc lift 1.5 wheel spacer tires are terramax rt 37 12.50 17 d rate 59 pounds . the blue one is a bd with 2.5 lift same tires. they are skinny for a 12.50. the green is a base 7 speed.

37's + 3.73 gears/ 2.3 L = Struggle

To answer your question; Yes, many folks have done it…

@Dusty has that configuration (I think? it may be 35s) and has done a ton of work regearing and whatnot. Good stuff.

Yeah I do have that configuration, with 37's. I re-geared to 5.13 and I believe that gearing is just right. I did run the 37's very briefly before the re-gear, and I found the stock 4.46 gears to be lacking for that tire. I mean, yeah, it's doable. And if all you're looking for is the appearance of the bigger tires and are willing to just live with it being under-geared, I suppose it would be OK and I'm sure there are plenty of folks who have done it and convinced themselves everything is just great.
