im runnin 31's was thinkin abou tgoin to 32's maybe 33's i was thinkin i could get by with the 32 but may have to regear 33's.

Whats the word on this?

 

If it's got a solid motor/trans it'll pull 'em w/stock gears but you'll notice acceleration performance lose even at 31's if only that it takes more throttle for the same rate of acceleration. But as you get into 32's and 33's you will start to feel a lose of torque. 4.56's will give you a nearly stock feel w/33's.

 

4.56s will be more than enough torque for 33s. 4.10s are right at stock ratio for 33" tires, but they are heavier and you have more wind force against it, so id suggest 4.56s.

If its a manual id go with 4.10s

 

Technically... you COULD go as big as you want and never regear...

But that would be the basic definition of suck.....

I'm riding on 33's with plain old 3.55's... Not my definition of fun, but I live in corn country and my Jeep is not my DD... I can make 55 with it, but I need to REALLY lay on the throttle to get up hills and not slow to a crawl...

If I was going to drive it all the time, I would step up to a 4.56...
But I'm not dropping that kind of money on a D-35....

 

hey my friends auto wrangler came with 307 and he just put on his free 33s that my freind is the definition of suck.
i have 307 manual with 307s and re gearing and locking the front to 410s.

 

IMO I wouldnt run over 33's with stock gears. Even that is pushing it.

 

I ran 33s with 3.55s and it SUCKED HARD!!! I live in CO, so altitude is a MAJOR issue! My $.02, hope it helps!

 

I ran 3.55's with 33's for over a year.

It sucked. But I never drove it stock, so I guess I wouldn't know how bad it sucked.

It now has 4.10's and 33's.

It sucks less, but it's an XJ, not a racecar. 4.88's would be fun, but I get the best mpg I think I'll get with 4.10's for a lifted cinder block on big tires.
