33s VS stock front end!

I never had hub/bearing issues on the ranger or sport trac, I did have to replace upper and lower balljoints, inner and outer tie-rod ends after some time on the ranger. The 33's went on around 80k miles if I guess, and the balljoints not far behind. Though they held up pretty well until I sold it with 140k miles, probably due to be replaced again at that point.
I wouldn't say anything wore out significantly faster than with 31's. A proper wheel will help things, I always had 15x8's with (I think) 3.75-4" of backspacing. If you use a wide 10" wheel you are putting significantly more stress on the ball joints and hub/bearing assemblies.

hmmm.....well......regular maintence made me put new upper and lower balljoints on. That's when the 35's were on for a week(just wear and tear, not abuse from 35's). 35's went on at about 70k. I'm now at 106k, and my TRE's seem to be holding up well. As are the unibearing/hubs, CV's, brakes, etc. I think I need new lowers here in the next 10k though.
Oh.....15x10 w/ 4" backspace and 35x12.50R15's.
