Have 4.5 RC with 31 10.5 bfg mud terrain and it just doesn't fill it out I wanna go with bfg all terrain 33 10.5 what needs to be done

Gee oh Dee

Buy new tires.

Gently flex until you can mark where you need to trim.

It wont be much.

Will I need to re gear I was lookin into 4.56 gears so incase I lift more and go even bigger ????

2KXJJEEP

i wouldn't trim nothing your jeep looks way to good to be cutting on it & IMO id go with 32x11.50's with 4.10 or 33x12.50 with 4.56's

sizematters11

Thanks man yeah if I ever did cut which I probably won't I will get bushwackers but It my daily so I was lookin for kinda better gas and cheaper tires that's why I wanted 33 10.5 the real reason I'm doing this is because I miss my 60th anniversary rims and the rims and tires on it now are are 31 10.5 r15 or I would prob switch rims and keep those tires which I'm selling both rims and tires for 500 but would 4.56 be over kill for those tires ??

Gee oh Dee

Possibly, the chances are higher if your an auto.
Cutting doesn't mean you hack up the fenders or flares.

You can gently trim lots of plastic before you change the appearance too much.

And gearing depends on what trans you have. If you have a manual trans, 33s and 4.10s work out to be near stock.

yea i kn Gee oh Dee that 4.10 is rite at stock with 33's but if u want just a little bet more HP on take off u need to go 4.56 with 33's

KCjeeper

Im runnin 35s an 456s I think 33s might be lil small for 456 gearing cause mines peppy as hell seventy five down freeway all day long 410 s prolly be perfect for a 33 inch tire

2KXJJEEP

what trans do u have...i have the auto AW4 & i wanted to with 4.10's & 33's but everybody on here said to go with 4.56 and 33

kashwak

Well I have a manual 3.07 with 35's and it drives fine so I doubt you'd have to regear.

KCjeeper

Xjjeeper
I have aw4 trans things perfect geared for 35s with 456 33 with 456 be overkill I think

AeroSynch

I temporarily put 36s on and I have an Auto w/cooler and 3.55s and so far it still has power. Note though that overdrive will become highway only drive.

sizematters11

I do want a Little extra power so I'm probably goin with 4.56 in case I go bigger in tires but I'm about average as far as knowledge with trans/ gear ratio. Will I see any better gas because of the higher gears just a thought don't laugh at me too much if it's a stupid question hahah

MedicXJ

You said you want this to be your DD, so IMPO I would go with the 4.10's. That will put you close to stock gearing with 33s and in 4L you would have more than enough power to do what you want. I'm currently running 3.07 on 33s and I have the all the power i need in 4L. As for the Bushwhackers BEWARE, they are extremely brittle and do crack easily, also if you're tucking your wheel in your fender a lot you will have to trim out the underside b/c they hang almost as low as stock. It also looks like **** when you have to do that (IMO) lol.

sizematters11

Hmmm well if I don't trim or change anything at all I should still get a little flex right ? Cus those 31 I have on it now I have ALOT of room (I think so any ways lol) and I thought the bushwackers were suppost to be pretty durable that sucks and do u have any input on the gas thoughts of mine lol ?
