Has anyone ran their truck on 35's without swaping gears? I am planning on picking up a set of 35's this saturday and the funds wont be right for gears till around christmas. The truck is a DD and I can get where I need to be without going up steep hills. My buddy has a '95 yota four banger on 35's and he didn't regear, its a pig but its not too bad. any thoughts?

 

what engine/tranny do you have?

 

2.9l V6 manual trans

 

what gears?





your motor is well....doggish on no gears and 32's. my buddy used to have one.

 

oh yeah it is a dog. Not sure about the gear ratio. I've undercoated the truck a few times so the axel and tag on it is covered black, is there anything on the inside of the door I could look for?

 

let me just say this....

my truck(4.0, 5spd manual w/ 4.10s) was quite peppy on 32's. Now a dog with 4.10s and 35's....

 

mine was a dog on 35s and 4.10s with the older 4.0 for the few days i drove it

to tell you the truth though it didnt feel that much different between the 33s and 35s... nor did it feel any different between 4.10s and 4.88s with 35s

 

I'm thinkin it'll be alright.. Its a truck and it ain't about how fast you go, its how good you look getting there. Thanks for your help guys

 

My buddy just blew up his auto in his 98 with a 4.0L and 3.73's... Swapped it for a manual and now is doing 4.10's soon.

Be careful. IMO, if you can afford the tires, fork out the money for gears... Motor/tranny depending

 

What size tires was he running?

 

'5s

 

5's?! That's a big tire isn't it?!

 

Crap, that's a big tire for 3.73's even with a 4.0.

88range, I'm gonna agree with everyone else and say re-gear.
