I have run 5000s on my m37. Problem with my m37 is that the unsprung weight is a little obscene. It has e rated bias 40" tires on Hummer headlocks with bead rings. I can't lift the assembly by myself but not sure of actual weight. It would take something custom to properly control the weight and probably still wouldn't ride "well". In addition I expect the high run-out in my tire assembly is very hard on shocks. With that said I painted the ranchos out of the box black and they have held up fine. Three out of four have large dents in the side from trails so I probably no longer get the full 13" wheel travel and will need replacement long before they rust or wear out. I can't really complaining about them.
