Gears for bigger tires

[brandon.colt]

Are the stock 3.93s stout enough to turn 35x12.50s without putting too much strain on the drivetrain, or feeling too much noticeable loss in power to the ground ?

You are still going to feel a loss of power with the 35's, but the cost of upgrading from your 3.92's isnt worth it. I would just stick with what you have. Your 3.92's are much better than the 3.55's that alot of other lifted guys are running.

their perfectly fine. i still have alot of get up n go with mine. although you will not go in "eco mode" nearly as often

^^^What these guys said lol..Im running 35's with 3.55 gears and still have plenty of power..of course its not a stock feel but still plenty! So do tell..what 35's ya going with???

your going to be losing a lot of tourqe and speed, you would have to figure out what ratio it would be with the tire size and your rpm and divide it and figure out what gear ratio it would be with those tires, thats not to high of a gearing like a 4.10 but you would have to do the math. your speedometer will be off and your going to loose speed and rpms will be lower when you go bigger and dont properly gear it.

I'm running 37's with 3:55's I did lose about 2 mpg thou. I'm looking into 4:56's now but need to make sure that is going to be correct for the amount of towing I do.

4.56 sounds right for towing with 37's. Lucky for you that you have the older style axel and can run that gear set without having to modify the carrier.

That's good information fellows. GlockNram, I really don't know yet. I should be getting some 5100's next month to level out, but I'll be running stock rubber prolly till Xmas. I'm on a poor mans budget, with that " new truck payment" and about to get out of the Army in a few months so I'll be scraping pennies for a while. When I do get new tires I'll probably go with some type of aggressive A/T since realistically most of my driving is on asphalt.
For the record, I can stuff 35x12.5's sitting level, correct or incorrect ?
If not, it may be Xmas 2014 when I can lift, wheels, and tires all at once.

I have 35 12.5s and they're perfectly fine. I wouldn't say I noticed a loss in power at all... and ya you should be able to fit those tires with a level. I'm leveled and they fit on my truck fine.
