Ive been running stock with 33"s for 2 years now. I dont wheel anymore though. My old 89 had 35s and stock gears but it was a 5 speed and it was a pain but never broke anything.

It will be one hell of a dog for sure with very poor MPG's. Also chances are the trans will go from overheating because of all the up/down shifting constantly even on the highway on level ground from just air drag.

yes you can definitely feel a difference in power at the gas pedal. rolling mass increase is noticeable, and drastic with each tire size jump. if you're not wheeling, you probably won't be breaking anything on 35's though.
Well i wont be doing any wheeling im just going to use it for work no highway use just short traffic 5 minutes away just going to take it easy in turns and bumps until i get money for the gears its approximately 2 or 3 months of waiting thanks for the important info 👍 cheers ~Xj

I'm going to do gears.
I went from a light 33 All terrain tire to a heavier 33 Mud terrain tire with 2-inch wider steel wheels and the weight has put noticeable strain on the drivetrain. It's a lot slower to accelerate. What felt like "doable" has changed to "I wanna re-gear."
