35 Tires on a 4" lift...

<< < (2/2)

B52BUFF:
I have figured out that for another $400 I can pick up front and rear 4.56 R&P. I have no problem going into the rear differential but the front scares me. This would also tack on another day or so of labor in an already tight schedule. Looking at the tire to R&P ratio 3.73 is not going to be helpful on the trail. Can anyone ease my concerns by saying that it's not that big of a deal? (and mean it!) I also have the thought of the SYE floating in my head... When will the madness stop? ???

My TJ came stock with 3.73s and it did fine with the 33s on the road. I went to 4.56s on the 33s with the intention to go to 35s in the future and that was actually great gearing for offroad. Since you already have the 3.73 gears I would wait to see how it behaves with the 35s. On the road I would guess that it will be sluggish and offroad i think you're going to be riding the clutch a little, but it should be doable. If you are comfortable with the 3.73s on road it would probably be cheaper to put a 4:1 kit in the 231 for offroad purposes.

i ran 38's on 3.31 gears for a year and it did ok 35's on 3.73 you will just loose over drive on the highway
