is there a diff/gear guide? (2 Viewers)

I've searched around quite a bit and haven't seen a specific answer to the following question:

Is there any reason to worry about re-gearing with 285/75/16 tires? Does that tire size require any other adjustments? Does it place any extra stress on anything?

Someone else in another thread linked to a site that shows a 5.37% change in speedometer/Gearing with that tire size, but I don't know if that's significant enough to cause any issues.

found it nvm!

Short answer:

No not really.​

Long answer:

Assuming you have a 4spd auto, the factory gear would be ~4.3. If you were OCD a ~4.56 gear would get you back close to stock, BUT I haven't seen anything near that ratio being available for the UZJ100.
It probably does add a little extra stress to the driveline/brakes/steering.
It does have a mild impact on acceleration/braking/handling.
It may or may not have enough of an impact on the speedo that you'd want to look at speedo correction.​

i love this forum. there is an answer to everything
