So one day before too long im going to buy tires, but im having a horrible time deciding if I want 33s or 35s. Its got 35 x 12.50 15s now with 4.10 gears, 3" spindle and 3" body lift...It did have add a leafs and cranked t bars too, but I cranked the t bars back down and took the leafs out, which droped it about 2" and rides much better now. Anyways, I like how it looks now, but I dont like the price of tires...especially 35s. And, also I should technically regear too. 33s are cheaper and I wont have to regear...less stress on everything too, but I dont know if the tires will look too small. Probably will go with either bfg at's 35s or 33s or duratracs if i get 33s. So help me decide. 35s installed will be almost $1k installed for bfgs plus cost of regearing or around $850 for duratracs or bfgs installed. Heres a pic of it as of now. Also want to add that I actually need tires, as these are cupped bad and have some dry rot.

How about spending the cash on a regear? 35\'s with 4.10\'s is mighty hard on the drivetrain. Truck looks good mang

 

If my tires were good, then I would.

 

instead of the bfg at's check out the grabber at2 same tire just a ton cheaper

I would go 33\'s IMO. I am in/was in the same situation as you. Yet, as much as I wanted 35\'s, my rig which is my DD would be to pricey(fuel) plus parts. Lol and 33\'s are killlin the mpg as is.

 

33s might look stupid with your current setup.

if you do 33's ditch the bl

 

This guy is correct!

 

33's and lower it a little more.

 

33's and keep the height

 

I would say 35's and regear...just my opinion

 

x2

 

35's and regear, or 33's and sell me the body lift for a cheap price.

 

If you can afford a regear do it.

If not just get 33's and ditch the BL

 

I think i may go with 35s cause I found i can get them installed for 840 out the door at discount tire. plus a 50 dollar mail in rebate if I get them before the 16th i think.

 

What size gears you going with?

 

Do it! What wheels do you have?

 

I guess I'll go with 488s.
And I have American racing wheels. I don't know which ones though but they're 15s.

 

4.88's will put you pretty close to stock. Anything less really wont help much. I have 33's and I would hate to run 35's on 4.10's even with me having the 4.0. I really want 4.56's.

 

I dont really mind it too much...it struggles on hills though. And my last cars 0-60 was alittle under 6 secs so its a hugh difference, but i've always wanted a lifted truck.
