Yeah, that's why nobody changes their gears when going to larger tiresThe speed of the truck should be fine with appropriate shifting, except in 1st gear.
It amazes me how many people assume you have to be driving around off idle in top gear all the time.
Adjust your shifting to the conditions, and it will move just fine. Correct your speedometer or you're going to fool yourself, though.
It will be harder to get going from a dead stop, but the top speed won't be affected, and neither will acceleration past 1st gear IF you shift it appropriately. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with 4th (or even 3rd) on the highway.
It sucks to be too high geared with big tires, nobody wants to turn their 5 speed into a 4 speed, you have 5 gears for a reason, so you can choose from a larger variety than 4, for the best gear in every situation.
5th gear is pretty much unusable right? I also noticed you're a fellow Washingtonian not too far from me, do you wheel your truck? Always lookin for more people to wheel with!I have a 92 with 4.0 3.27 and 33's and does just fine. It takes a little getting used to with getting the clutch out at the right speed without slipping it to much and without make the truck shake. On hills it does good, at highway speeds in 3rd gear it will pull any hill. You will be fine.
