Hi! My LC70 with 2LT engine, 31x10.5x15 tires and 4.88 gearing ratio revs 3000 rpm at 90 kph. Do you think I need to change it with 33's to run atleast 110 kph or higher at 3k rpm? But with the small engine it might make more slower in the lower end? Thanks!
 
that truck turns 33" or 34" skinnies very well on the highway.
fats and you are asking a bit much.

so how does this story go?

big truck
small engine
4.90's to help small engine get it moving
bigger tires will make engine work harder
the truck is far more suited to offroad and under 20 kph than high speed interstate cruising at 100+ kph
you do not yet have a pyro installed - right?
cracked head is in your future
you sell truck to me for a [edit]tiny fraction[/edit] of what you have invested
I buy your truck cheap and shoehorn a new chevy 350 crate motor in and drive the crap out of it
