I know its tempting. resist the urge. build your axles. then run big tires. not the other way around




or just go for it. you'll learn

I switched to heavy 33's and noticed a huge power drop with stock gears. Also noticed a huge braking performance drop.

I have 4:88's on the way.

You can do it. I mean if your not planning on wheeling hard. Just light trails and around town its fine.

But if you travel much or like harder wheeling. Then it will suck on 36's in my opinion.

First gear's gonna be like.... 3rd. And if you're running a D35 you're asking for trouble.
