Conventional wisdom says 33s max before re-gearing, mostly not due to breaking(35s plus there) - but it'll run like a fat pig with stock gears and 35s.


i've been running 37s on stockers on my DD for the past year and a half and have only broken one birf... when i had a single case i mashed hard and never broke. i didn't break until i got my duals and where i broke was a joke spot. i knew it was going to happen but i just didn't connect it with my foot to get off the gas... as for running like a pig, not so much. it takes getting used to around town but a day or two into it and your golden. getting on the freeway is sketchy sometimes but 95% of the time its cool. its nice having the long gearing on the freeway once you get up to about 65-70 and you can fly. i pass people all day long on the freeway... since im broke as joke with no income and cant afford upgraded birfs or gears, i know what kind of boat you are getting into. its really not that bad. people get all theses ideas from what they HEAR but a good portion of the time what the argument is over is not a big deal. ideally it would be nice to run 30-spline longs, 5.29's with ARB's would be the legit ideal set up, but sometimes you just have to ball on a budget and get it done



edit: hope this is good info that your looking for   :beerchug:
