33" or 35"

Q-78 swampers on stock rims..... you'll be fine

That's the route I'm likely going...with about a 3-1/2" lift and cut rears.

Basically, where as everyone used to want to upgrade to 35's, now it's 37's that everyone wants.

yup im on 35's and want 37's

what BS is best for 33x12.5R15, SOA set-up?

Gents,

I badly needed your views on this matter before throwing some cash in purchasing the right wheel and right BS for 40 with SOA set-up.

Thanks,
gado

I have the HFS 4" and run 33x12.5 as I have uncut rear fenders. Very little rubbing, only the rear of the rear fenders at the bottom. I had to lengthen both driveshafts. Wasn't happy about that.

The only way I could run 35s is to cut the rear fenders. So far, I'm keeping the 33's.

How tippy does this make your rig with a 4" lift and a 9.5 inch wide tire?

 

[Cruiser Cruisin]

I have 4in skyjacker and 35 13.5s. They sure do rub a lot. I would go 33's. I have to lift mine another few inches to get this rub problem taken care of.

What about diff gear ratios? 3.7 v 4.11 and use with those big tires? I understand that driving at higher speeds with anything bigger then 33 on 3.7s you may get robbed of power and speed.

35's

That looks spring over though. Is it?

yeah i got robbed. I have 3.73s and 35s. Dont think this pig would move down the hwy very well with out the sbc.

(why not)

SOA and 4.11 and maybe a SBC

 

[Hugh Heifer]

Along those lines, I am doing a build with an H55 and going to run 33s I looked at the possibility of running the 3.7s and realized that would be a waste - total waste. (I am glad as it saves me time, effort and $$$$) I think that the 3.7s would be great with the 4 speed and 33s or smaller to obtain a little more speed or a little less RPM. As I noticed above, the diffrence appears to be just a couple hundred RPMs at speed with the H42. The H55 will more then make up for that. But at the price of at least 3

 

[Ziffdaddy]

I think people with big tires are trying to make up for some other deficiency....so I'm gonna put a 4" lift with Ford Fiesta spare tires on it.... That'll show 'em!

Goodtimes....
