Hey guys, just a quick question, I'm running 33" muddies on my 2.4 litre Turbo diesel, i find it struggles here and there, especially uphills and with a load, i am wondering weather it is worth the $$$ to change my diffs to 4.88 ratios. I am getting a 3" exhaust system installed next week, and having my turbo modified and increased. this should give 20% power back which i am guessing is what i am loosing running the 33" wheels.
I know you guys all have V6's but any opinios would be great.
and if anyone has done it ?!! just i have a bit of spare $$$.

By the way, latests mods : dual batter charger and isolator, hopefully next week 50mm b/lift .
plus i have to post pics of aux fuse box (cheers once again corey !)
cheers
DAn.

 

Of course I'm going to make this more complicated that it should be...

If you wheel it and need the crawl, then yes, regear.

If you can do it yourself, you will save a ton of money, so yes, regear.

If you are doing it because you lack alittle street power with the 33s, then no, don't regear. Your upgraded turbo should be enough.

If you've ever thought about add locker(s), you may want to regear and lock up at the same time to save labor costs. Just a thought.

 

I agree with Jackson, re-gear and get lockers put in at the same time.

You will have more power while off-roading and hill climbs (then your Turbo will be adding more power to your rig instead of making up for lost power with your currnet gears ... but it can be expensive).

 

i agree with jackson too. let us know how it goes....

and btw do you think i'd need to regear with 31's or 31.5s?
