Should I regear or am I fine?

Right now I am runnin 31's on my 91runner but they are a little small for the 2 inch body lift. I'm thinking of going to 32's or 33's but I'm not ready to regear cause I want to do it right(locker) the 1st time and this is my dd. I have:
3.4
manual tranny
4.10 gears
Will I notice a big difference if I go to 33's or should I play it safe and go 32, you know gas mileage/acceleration.

For comparison's sake, I am running 32's on my 3.4 Taco, and I really didn't notice any difference when I went from the stock size. I would surmise that if I went to 33's I would notice a change, but a lot of guys report that with the 3.4, it really isn't a huge issue except for going up hills. I say go for the 32's, def.

humm IIRC, 4.10s and 33's will be pushing it. if it was me i would do it, just so that i dont have to buy tires again later. wiht the 3.4 and the man. you shouldnt be too bad.

supposedly 33's are the max on 4:10's, maybe go ahead and regear to 4:56 or whatever now and get the tires later? gears and 33's are the last on my list of thing to do. but thats me. if you really need tires i'd say 32's for now.

The power shouldn't be too noticeable but the mileage might be a little more of a problem.

I'd say you could live with it for a while.

wow old thread revival.... now that i've gone to 35s with 4.56s, i'd say 33s and 4.10s are fine. a couple of my buddys are running that set up and wheel just fine.
