Tire size?

Generally speaking, the idea behind regearing is bring the rig back to factory spec's following the installation of larger tires.

Also, regearing will not affect the amount of horse power or torque being produced, only what is actually delivered to the tires.

4.56 would be a safe bet. That's what I'm gonna run eventually and I have 33's. You could probably get away with a 4.10 gear ratio too but I've heard most people with 33's will want to use 4.56.
