    Yeah, that's the reason.... Haha

    I'm thinking 4:88's but I still need to do some research as I'd like to jump to 35's eventually.

    All the info I find is for regearing for a better crawl-ratio. I'm only regearing for better highway manners. I'm worried 5:29's would be too much.

    Yeah, there seems to be pros and cons of each ratio.. better crawling or better highway/daily driving. I'm interested to see the 35's on your truck haha

    I don't get why you'd want wireless...? I wired up a switch in the cab for in/out on the cable. I don't know about you, but on the rare occasions when I use the winch I'm in the truck and the switch is simple to operate. Just don't see the value in using a wireless setup over a wired switch in the cab. I certainly would NEVER want to hand the winch controls over to someone while I'm in the truck. But then again I guess until I try it... who knows maybe I'd love it. I just don't need my winch often... use it more for pulling people out then getting myself unstuck.

    Yeah, I do a LOT more highway driving than crawling. And I'm happy with the speed my 4lo is when crawling already.

    35's might be a while, all comes down to finances, how long my 33's last, and if any of my buddies with welders have the time to help me out.

    I think I'm just going to say screw it and get 35's next no matter what so I will force myself to want to tub haha

    I've only heard great things about Warn, but TJM has gone under the radar for me. I might have to take a look at the TJM series to see what they have. I'll be running controls up to the cab so wireless isn't that big for me.

    I think I'll stick with my idea of lights, for now, but I could change my mind... I don't have a ton of money to send on lights but Relentless' Rampage series fit the bill for me.

    I'll keep looking around at everything though...

    Doesn't bother me at all... If this turns into a Build/BS Thread, then so be it...

    I would think 4.88's would be better overall for on and off the road. 5.29's seem like too much unless you're doing a trail rig or SAS on 40s.

    Yeah, I think my next set of tires after my lift are going to be some Cooper discover at maxx at 285/75/16. 35's seem like a lot but they sure do look good.

    Yeah, I thought my 33's looked nice and proportional with my lift. But now I want to step it up... Haha

    Plus, I can run the 35's on the street until I get a chance to tub. Just no wheeling until then...

    I'm looking at the level 8 mk6.. but I'll probably get them at different times. Probably rims first and then tires.

    Do 35s really do a lot more than 33s? I wouldn't really think so... I think I would see a difference when going to 37s...

    Thoses are some good looking rim... I'm just going to go with some Summit Racing D-Window Steel Wheels... :D

    Looking at running MTR's since they're better on snow and ice.

    Don't get me wrong though, I love my KM2's as they have treated me well with the combination of highway/offroading that I've done.
    You'd be amazed at how much of a difference it can make on the trail. At least that's what I'm told from those that have actually done it.

    To some the work isn't worth it for the minimal gains. But it would be a fun custom project as well as look awesome :cool:

    Here's the difference it made for Monte on his front skid plate. First pic is with 33's, second is with 35's.

    If you do 35s, then let me know if they're really worth it otherwise, I'll just stick to some 33s...
