What axle are you going full hydro with?

 

Is this everything needed for the conversion I'm assuming

 

You guys think i should run a 10.5 or 12.5 33 on this rig ? Here she is as of last night.. Waiting on my Jcr front bumper still . Also when's the meet n greet is it tomorrow

 

Meet and greet is the 11th at 1pm, jesters in Elgin.

What offset are your wheels? 12.5 gives nice stability in off camber situations.

 

here, this is mine, same color on 33x12.5s
i love the stance and all that rubber

 

Looks awesome... How are those tires on snow... That's my only worry... I'll be getting new rims for the 33's I'll prolly sell the current wheels and tires mounted or dismount the tires and throw some light truck or at's on the steel wheels for winter in a 31" size. When I go 33 I'll run an alloy to save some lbs since the 31's on steel wheels are already heavy as ****. Rotating mass will kill brakes and acceleration and gas mileage so the few extra$ on alloys will help in the long run prolly... Orrrrrr I have a race car mentality hahah

Prolly gonna re gear to... Any suggestions on a cheaper gear that's proven prolly gonna go 4.10 or 3.55 ( I think that's what most guys on 33's have ) being 4.10 still give me better drive ability with a higher highway speed ability as well. I wann be able to do 70-75 and not run 3200 rpms

Also any recommended shops to do gear swap dunno if I'm qualified haha

 

yeah this is my first winter on them so we'll see ill have a feeling ill want to go skinnier. not only for the traction but the weight since those are some big *** 17x9 steelies. it feels sluggish on stock gears but doable. I'll probably want to go 4.10 too since i do a lot of highway driving to work

But damn do they look good

 

Most people run 3.55s with 33s, not everyone regears. I personally wouldnt waste my time regearing if I was only going to go with 4.10s for 33s. Thats just me though. For the price regearing costs for 4.10s I'd get an 8.8 swap, and find a 4.10 d30 out of 4 banger tj

 

I like the look of the 17" wheel but I'll prolly go 15" alloy. What speed do 3.55's give on the highway? At what rpm. And as far as I'm concerned a 4.10 should still be a major improvement if I can get my dads buddy to help me re-gear I will save a lot of $ he does a lot of ford 9" race stuff so I'm sure he can do it. Then I can do new bearings and stuff to with leftover $ I'm also gonna order a tru trac from Detroit for out back instead of a locker for my 8.25 it will help and be good on road. Maybe a 4.10 on 32's but if I'm doing it I feel foolish to not go 33....

 

Id go 33s eitherway. Hell I almost went 35s for absolutely no reason when I just bought tires in november. Didn't realize you would be regearing without a shop that makes a big difference for prices. I don't really have a lot of 33" on highway experience. My old tires which I put alot of miles on only were just about a 31 with how low on tread they were.

 

Do a 4.56 once you go 33"s you'll need 35"s next tine

 

Don't expect to ever go 35's and won't revs be terrible with 4.56 gears on 33"

 

I ran 33"s with 4.88s for about 9 months wasn't to bad for free tires

 

Read my sig and I ain't ****ing stupid like some ****s on here so don't worry

Yeah just need a ppump

 

U guys on 33's don't need to regear I would do 75mph on stock gears at about 2200 rpm which was 15mpg and was faster then my buddy's with same lift and tire size on 4.10 learn to use ur skinny pedal. And remember gearing raises rpms I am at 5.13 now and at 40mph I am at about 2000 rpms. Now if u have 35's 4.10 is all u will need
