Dumb question, maybe.

I have a chance to get some 32x11.50 for a pretty good price. What I need to know is if my Bll can handle them. I have the 2.8l with 3.73 gears front and rear, running 31x10.50 right now. Can the engine and gears handle the bigger tires. I know they are not that much bigger, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than mess up my truck. BTW, I don't have any lift, will I need some?

don't quote me or sue me if my .05$ messes it up but i think you could just make it u might need some fender trimming this tire chart say's it should be ok but look for yourself and dont take my word for it, what it comes down to is that u need to ask yourself WHY you want them and what type of driving you do

"If it don't fit,force it. If that don't work get a bigger hammer!"


That is your quote so why not just go by that? Cuz w/ no lift and 32s you should get definate rubing, a lag in acceleration (just like w/ the 31s vs stock), and a strain on your tranny. But luckily enough you have a manual so that is not really a factor. The fit will just get tighter. Also the D28 may not work to well under high stress situations off road.

Nice, Thighman! lol. I got to thinking about it and figured it wasn't too good of an idea. At least until I can set my truck up for it. Just got kinda crazy when I found the tires. Thanks for the input and the quick replies.
