Question Do i really need regear?

I have an '89 p'up 22RE 5spd. Stock gears,31x10.50x15 BFG AT. It is a little sluggish of the line but OK other times. May or may not put 33's on it. I am too lazy to do a search.

i guess thats cuz you have the 3.0, my 5vzfe is pushing 33s on 4.10's perfectly fine. but with a 22re sluggish at 31s, id for sure regear to go to 33s.

I find the comment quite ironic in light of the signature.

I run 33's with 4.10's, for city driving its not bad. Highway, its tolerable. I know its not going to be cruising in the passing lane. I'll regear when I up my tire size.

I have 4.88s and a 22re in my runner... I can smoke both my 33's (locked up rear ) on concrete dumpin the clutch. Black top a little different story. MUCH more traction lol. But I'm probably gonna regear to 5.29s here before too long if I don't go SAS. That and a 4.7:1 xcase!

its ironic that this thread came up today, i was just about to ask after my friend said he could sell me some 33x12.5s that he had that didnt use. to the point i know i need to regear, but how bad would it be on my x-cab 22re 5speed with 4.10s?

I just regeared my rig going from 31s to 32s I noticed quite a difference in power. And that's with the 3.0. The 4.88 gearing from my stock 4.30 made a huge difference. Had I known I was going to regear anyways I would have gone with 33s. It's the biggest power boost you can get for your money. I had Randy's do it and it ran just under 2k for the gears and a TrueTrack in the rear. That was with me taking the difs out and taking them to their shop.

I'm running 35's with my 3.0 and 4.10's. It actually does pretty good, a friend with a 22r and 4.88's is quicker off the start but can only maintain 70mph while I can easily maintain 80 if I want. Only problem is very steep hills or if I tow anything, I have to drop it in 4th.

hehe my 4runner is 22re + 5.71:1s + 35s + lockrites = chirp chirp all over the place. off the line its quite a bit faster than my truck. the truck is newer and has 32s, stock gears, autotragic transmission, behind a bolt-on-everything 3vze... you get the picture. its so slow and loud its embarrassing. i have to make it roar just to accelerate as fast as everyone else and the headers and exhaust make it sound like im trying to win a drag race competition. in fact just today i was beat off a stop light by a dodge that was towing a 20' trailer. its a 3.0 alright

i run 35s on 410s and yeah its sluggish but its not bad, when i go 5.29s it will pull ass, on stock 28s the truck was actually quick, and 5.29s put it close if not over, stock ratio.
