I am putting 31x10.50s on my truck today and i was wondering if they are going to be a dog with a 3.0 and 3.73s. Anybody run this set-up? If so how is it?

 

i ran 32s with my old 3.0 and 3.73s...just remember you bought a truck not a sports car...but i was fine with that set up

 

oh i know what you mean. if i wanted a faster truck i sure wouldnt have bought a 3.slow. do you know around how bad it will hurt my gas mileage? i am getting them either way just wanting to know about what to expect

 

i think i was getting about 16-17...but i dont drive fuel efficiently...

 

i have 3.27's with a 4.0.......its no race car but it gets out of its own way....i get like 13-14 mpg.....in need of a tune up....and a driver with a lighter foot...lol

 

i have your problem too lol

 

I had that setup. It really wasn't that bad. Drove fine on the street, highway was kind of a rather pain. Now on the highway it cruised fine but you had no acceleration in 5th gear and going up any kind of steep hill required 4th gear. If are 3.0L had more power it would be perfect but I've gone to 4.10's from the 3.73's.

 

I had that setup on my old Ranger.

Around town was fine. Freeway speeds (65+) sucked if there where any hills or a strong headwind. Also, don't tow too much at those speeds.

I usually got 17 on a good mixed tank of city/highway.

 

i have that set up and its not too bad...lil slow on the interstate but thats only really after 70 mph....

 

def. worth it wasn't it steven those wheels look good on ur truck dont they

 

yes they do. i love the alcoa bullet holes. and its not really that sluggish at all. nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be

 

pics???

 

will have pics later. i am going to get my moms camera so i can get some good ones

 

it looks good man i thought they were gonna scrub 10 times worse but even flexed they dont hardly at all
