Ok, so ive got an 88 PU, and im thinking about some new tires. I just want to know if anyone knows what kind of gearing I would need in order to be able to do 50 mph on road (its my DD) with 35 inch tires, or if i should just think smaller. Also it would be helpful for some suggestions on what kind of lift to get.

 

OMG. Go with 6.71's and then TRY SEARCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been gone over alteast a couple of times on here.

 

I am running 35 bfg mud terrains with 5.29s and can easily push 50 it is also my dd

 

lol yeah...it been covered... 5.29's for 35"s or if you ant diff rpms n such try justdifferentials.com they have a gear calculator you can use to decide on what gears and what tires...and if you want to run 35's your going to need either an LT kit, wich i would rather have or a 4" bracket lift with a body lift..im running a 4" bracket and a 3" body lift, and it clears pretty good

 

would just a six inch suspension lift clear them do u think?

 

SEARCH BEFORE YOU ASK. It wouldnt be so annoying if you hadnt asked a set of questions that had all been answered 1.2 million other times on other threads here...

 

yeah like every1 els is saying SEARCH....they dont make a 6" suspension lift...hence the 4" and some body

 

The ULTIMATE lift kit/gear source guide

 

thats perfect why didint i think of that

 

I think it's funny ... in the amount of time people took to bitch about searching, they could have typed:

5.29 for manual tranny
5.71 and a tranny cooler for automatic

4" bracket lift will fit 35;s

more info, search, you'll go blind on all the posts

 

i was tryin to help, and trying to influence searching to the new guy at the same time

 

Well, now that this thread has been moved to the newbie section...

 

SAS or get tires smaller than 35's.

 

4.88`s and 35'' tires will also work.

hey thanks guys for the help and ill search better next time
