What are the different types of gearing and what good do they do when it comes to having bigger tires

what is the best type of gears to get

 

Ummm, well it really depends. I can tell your a newb and probably didnt search for the 57805 threads that cover this. So here goes. 1: Depends on what SIZE tire you'd like to run for what size gearing you should get. 2: Theres 4.88's 5.29's 5.71's...thats about as low as you can go.

 

 

i am running 4.88 yukons thanks Zuk!

 

i just ordered 5:29s for my runner which will be sittin on 35s. thats what 90% of ppl told me to go with so ill let you know how i like em.

 

that combo should do you good. I'll be running 4.88's with 33's shortly

When you go with bigger tires you have to regear, so say you go with 37'' tires and leave the stock 4.10`s in your truck, the stock ratio will make your truck have to work harder just to get moving and if your wheeling it probably wont have the power needed to crawl over anything big. im running 4.88 gears and 37'' tires on my 86 4Runner and i also have duel cases, and that also helps alot.

 

hah, I have 31's on stock 4.10's, and it's sloooooow to accelerate

but I call shenanigans on you, cause you have dual cases, therefore you could probably run stock gears with those tires, lol. but don't get me wrong, every gearing advantage helps when you have the 22re

 

gives us some info on your truck. Do you have an automatic or Manual? What size tries to you plan to go with. Once we know this we can help you better.

man dont go with 5.29s if ur runnin on the road alot everyone tells u thats what u should get bc thats the most popular gear...most likely ur truck has 4.11 gears in it and they will be slow with bigger tires trust me i know...if u want an all around good gear put 4.88s in there. they will pull 35s and under good on and off road and u wont be putting around with large gears as much such as the 5.29 and bigger
