34s regear question

I'm thinking about getting some nitto trails 295/60r20 (~34").. I know a regear is ideal for 33s and pretty much a no brainier for 35s but could I get away with no regear on the 34s? I know there's a lot of strain on the tranny but living in the country I do mostly highway rarely any city.. I'd probably end up getting the regear in a few months but would I be good until then?

 

Definitely try it before you regear.

 

So is it more of a personal preference? Will it damage my tranny?

 

It won't damage no. Bigger tires are always harder on things but you won't "damage" it. I'm sure you'll want to regear though. Make sure to compare RPMs at highway speed with different gears.

gears are a compromise

torque or speed

Doesn't a regear take away from highway mpg? I'm ok with a slow takeoff I'm not racing haha

 

torque/speed...

 

I would say look up 4.56s on ecgs and then plan on swapping 3rds yourself.
