Hey Guys_____ is there a STRENGH DIFFERENCE   between 529”s with 35s and 488 with 33s gears? ? ? I read conflicting views, just curios about some opinions and reasons. Thanks in advance_____ BAYRUNNER

When ever you increase your tire size or reduce your gear ratios you will usually be decreasing the reliability.

Therefore you are less likely to break something with 33" tires and 4.88 diff gearing.

I would agree with you, personaly I think it is all about instalation and setup.  If a gear set is not installled properly it wont last, but if it is setup right your golden.
