34x12.5x15 on Dana 35 IFS

[maclgallant]

Wondering what you guy's think of 34's on a dana35 ifs?

i know you guy's say 33's are the biggest you want to run for reliability
35's i would be going through wheel bearings and start breaking stuff

but what about 34's?
it's and "off size" and theres not much info out there on how the ranger's dana 35 IFS handles them?

any input would be appreciated

and yes i would be re-gearing


oh , the tire i'm looking at are the Interco TrXus MT 34x12.5x15

I really would stick to 33" radials. Even tho the TRXXUS are radial, they are a LOT heavier than normal radial tires thus putting more strain on the drivetrain. And with those junk CV's, you'd be up shit crick with mild wheeling.

This is just my .02, take it for what it's worth.

Not much bigger than 33's, go ahead with them but be prepared to replace wheel bearings, tie rods, and maybe CV's if you go 'froading.
Hey, someone has to be the guinea pig.

285/75's eat wheel bearings so expect to replace them consistantly. The shafts should hold and the ring gear will be fine.
