Re-gear ?

[An3]

Gonna be putting on a fabtech 5.5 lift with either 32's or 33's I have a f6 axle which is 3.73 gears do I have to re-gear with either tire

You don't have to, but you should unless you want to sacrifice fuel economy and power among other things.

You'll be okay. It's only the initial pull-away from a stop that will be really noticeable. I would leave it as it is for a time and see if you are going to be happy with the tire size and also figure out where you would like the revs to be. It's expensive to gear an axle, and 3.73s aren't the worst in the world, and the 4.0 is the best engine if you have to have bad gears. After a few months, then decide.

Thnx for the input that's what I'm gonna do put the 33's on and just see how it is
I was just curious to see what everybody would say

 

[An3]

Btw will I clear 33's on the fabtech lift without any rubbing and trimming?

 

[dankhimself]

you can get away with those tires with a 4 inch lift, 5.5 should be fine.

 

[An3]

Should I go with 15x8 or 15x10 on the 33's

 

[RangerBoy94]

15x8 With 3.75 backspacing. 15x10 rims might rub with 33's.

 

[gribly]

I've got 31's with 3.55's and a 4.0 - It's as tall as I care to go in a daily driver, but I can still melt 'em off - with an SUV body.

 

[An3]

Would these work 15x8 Offset -30mm on the 33's
