think of it as a balancing scale:
on one side, you got 36" tires and you wan to have fun but wait the few weeks to gear, then go and have fun

on the other side, you got them on and your straining your engine, possibly causing failure, straining your transmission, possibly causing failure, breaking axles shaft and or ring-pinion, driveshaft, transfercase, etc... causing you longer than 2 weeks time and more money till you can finally wheel again truly

which one do you want?
