I was thinking about gettin a 4.88 for my fronts an rears i havent puttin any new rubbers how would think the truck will run. or should i wait till i lift it and put on the tires

 

Damn man, give some info like what your runnin now for tires and gears, manual or auto, and a what kinda lift you have to get a perspective. Can't give any answers till you have given some info.

Wouldn't need to do that even if you made up a signature with some info, and you need a avatar pic man......

 

we need more information.........

- What is your stock tire size?
- What is your stock gear ratio?
- What is your new tire size going to be?

 

haha sorry, i got stock tires with the 4.10 rear end 4.0 liter, auto, i was thinking the super lift and 35's

sorry i'm kinda new to this site i just got my ranger like 2 months ago

i saw zabeards before he did the SAS and i think its sick, i like the way it stands

 

stock tire size..........there are a few stock sizes......go read the tire and tell me exactly what it says.....

 

you wont be able to fit 35's with just the Superlift kit.....

what year is your truck?

 

2003 xlt sorry i forgot to throw in doing a 3 inch body also..i got 245/75 r16

 

i say 4.56's with 35's and no regear with 33's....

 

cool man thanks for the help, what do you think the biggest tire i could get on my truck now with out the lift

 

31x10.50x15.....without torsion crank....
32x11.50x15.....with torsion crank........

 

Yeah, you have the 4.0 so 4.56's and 35's will work, where as me and a 3.0 might go with 4.88's cause my engine sucks..... Dreamin of the V8 though.......

Superlift+BL+35's+4.56's will work for you.......

Now go make a signature and avatar photo!

 

yea if you have a 3.0, then 4.88's with 35's are the key combo

 

im goin 4.88 and 33's with my 4.0..

do the math with the rpm calculator you wont be much higher then stock...



JOSH

 

What kind of RPM calculator are you using?

 

i dont think so.......that is nuts.......

an rpm calculator isn't as accurate as you think........the best way to figure out your new gear ratio is to use the following formula:

NTS / OTS x OGR

NTS = New Tire Size
OTS = Old Tire Size
OGR = Old Gear Ratio

and round up to the next lower gear.......

that formula is about the best way to figure out your new ratio......

i guarantee you with 4.88's and 33's you will get 4 gallons to the mile.......Scott D. (big04ranger) was running 37's with 4.88's and getting 16 mpg.....use your freakin head and search.....more than likely WE HAVE TRIED IT BEFORE!

 

a pretty crappy one.

[ (New tire diameter)/(stock tire diameter) ] * stock gear ratio = New gear ratio

34.8 / 30.8 * 4.10 = 4.63

I'm pretty sure that 4.56s comes closer than 4.88s

also

if you were running 33s.

32.8 / 30.8 * 4.10 = 4.36

4.36 is a long ways from 4.88

 

thanks for the example forgot to add one!

 

after i posted it i saw you beat me to the punch.

 

i can't believe how many times in the last week i have had to post that because of idiots....

 

lol

People just dont really take time and think about what they are doing, not saying that i havent made the same mistake, it just happens alot..

 

espically lately with all the sudden pop up of noobs...

 

haha, yeah.

 

i gotta wait till the snow melts around here so i can get a good photo, i need that two tone brown paint job lol

 

If you go with 4.88s.....good luck finding 4.88s for the front. If you're a 4x4 then you're probably gonna have to choose between a 4.56 and 5.13

 

they make 4.88s for the front ryan ... i had them in my ranger .. . but if you do any highway driving 4.88s and 35s suck ***** ... you can wheel pretty easy but your mpg go way down. if i would have done it again i would have gone with 4.56s and 35s .... trust me lol
