so i was thinking about lifting and bigger tires ,
my question is i want a little bigger tires on my truck so i can put i lift kit on it
but i dont want to stress my 3.0 what do you think is the best tired size that wont stress the motor , and will changing the gears in the rear end help? would tires kill my transmission? or will re-gearing help it ,would it kill the pick up to go big and i know theirs some people out there that have 3.0 with tires i want to hear from you too

need as much input as you can thanks

 

first off you can put bigger tires on it without a lift just do a tbar crank. second if you get a body lift depending on size you can put bigger tires. it all depends on how big you wanna go with your tires i have 33s on mine with the 3.0 i had 3.73 gears and it killed me. so i would say if you have 3.73s gearing is a must.

 

what size tires do you plan on running? you really should gear down.

 

i want to go 33' s there no to big and not to little
and im liking the way RangerJacoby99 ranger is siting
yes i am re gearing to like a 4.10 i think that what it is ?
so like a 3 or 4inch body lift? and will i have to do a suspension lift too
lol im new to the whole lifting thing

 

I have a 3" suspension lift with 31" tires and haven't regeared and my trucks fine. There is a slight power reduction but the 3.0L doesn't have too much power to begin with. If you want bigger than a 31" then i recommend regearing.

 

OK HERE HOW I WANT MY TRUCK TO BE



not to big not to small

 

im running a 3in bl and 33's and im geared at 4.56 but 4.10 i imagine would be just fine

 

cool im going to go with 33's but i have no clue with the other sizes in the tire are i want to get a some what wide 33 , i have see some ppll with tall and skinny tires lol trying to avoid that

 

Usually everyone gets a 33x12.50.

 

is that whats on yours?

 

No, I am 31x10.50. My next tire will be 33x12.50 hopefully.

 

ooo ok yeah thats a good size the 33x12.50
im looking for that big and alittle wide look

 

if you're only going 33's, what ratio do you have now? if it's 4.10 just leave it

 

he has 15x10 steelies which weigh alot, so you might want to buy an aluminum 15x8 rim
