Gears and Tires

Post by Lucas »

Anybody got any thoughts on 35's on 3.55 gears? My truck feels maxed out on the 33's but they're getting old and its time for some new rubber was hoping on 35's but I might just not have enough gear.

You have a 302 and E4OD right? 35's will be bad. You can do it, but it will be slow as shit and you wont be able to use OD except going downhill. I almost put 35's on 351 and am glad I didn't. 33's were the best option.
