I have a 1986 Toyota 4Runner 22R-E EFI 5speed...I currently have 33x10.50 15 on it and it is real boggish and Ive read before you can change the gearing in it to pull any size tire..And noticed alot of rigs on here went with a 5.29 gear and what i need to know is how to find out what gears to go to with a 37 in tire ...I am sure someone has went thru this the problem is finding that person so any help will be appricated Thanks, Rick

Yep...just play with keywords and there's hundreds of thread about this subject. It's overwhelming how many there are, but you'll find the info already there.
