Tire size ?

[94STXRanger]

Ok I cant afford to regear yet. I cant afford bigger tires yet. Actually i cant even afford the tranny i need yet. But i was curious to know. I am going to be putting on my 5.5" lift after i get a new tranny and im ridin on 31's right now. Acceleration and everything is just fine right now, no issues at all actually. But im worried that with a 5.5" lift 31's will just look to small. So Im thinking of getting like 32's or 33's. But like i said cant afford to regear. So how sluggish would my truck be with 33's and my stock 3.73 gears?
Thanks!

well if you have a 4.0 you might be okay but i would say if you have anything else it may be time to regear. you should be able to find 4.0 axles in rangers, stock. thats a good option but you may even want to go lower than that.

O sorry i do have a 4.0

your going to have little kids on tri cycles honking at you to let them pass.......

well ok, maybe not that bad, but its not going to have any pep at all. think stock VW bug.

gas millage will suffer also, Im going to guess at 12-13 tops. with 3;73s and 33;s..........

You're going to want 4.56's with 33's and a 4.0.

Awesome thanks guys. What supplier could get me some cheaper 456's for d35 and rear 8.8?

Get a better gear like yukon, Precision Gear, US Gear, as well as OEM stuff.
