Need advice, get smaller tires or re gear to 4.88

hows your gear hunting? on highway doing 70mpg it will constantly downshift to 4th to maintain speed and idt ever go into 6th with the tires now

 

I'm on 33s 285 70 17 and yes it is noticeable but not as bad as you're suggesting with 34. So could consider that.

If you are running those did you not already do a cab mount chop?

You do understand that you regear would only void differential warranty.

You do realize that as soon as you change any parts you make it easy for the dealers to void warranty. Whether or not Magnuson Moss says they need to point to it they have an easy thing to point to and they usually have bigger lawyers than you.

So might want to consider

 

have you taking it on the beach? and no cab mount chop only heated up the fender wells and pushed in the front and back in a good inch. rubs on full turn in reverse. i dont wanna void any warranty on a truck im not 100% on buying out. only mods ive done have been bolt on and i can easily bolt off before bringing it in to dealer

 

No gear hunting issue imo. Obviously on large hills will downshift to maintain speed but I can still run CC on the freeway at 65mph with no issues. No rubbing on my truck but wheel offset will determine that probably more than tire width. Looks like this on the 275/70's which is basically a 32x11 tire. Not as agressive as your truck but probably works better real world.

 

do you see 6th gear at all? and i have -12 off set wheels, i went with 265/70r17 31.5x10.5 ish shouldnt rub even if i take spacer lift out

 

Yes still uses 6th. Shouldnt have any issues with that tire size your going with. Mine are 32.2 x 10.8 with -10 offset

What tire did you go with?

 

same ones i have now love them, cooper discoverer at3 mine now are 57lbs and the new smaller ones are only 42 should be a real nice improvement to performance

 

That's what I like about this site. I too will just upsize my tires to C Load (Pizza cutters) and be happy with it.

 

how the fuck are you fitting those tires lol.
I had to cut so much and beat the ever loving shit outta my pinch weld to fit them...
but I didn't do body lift or block lift so maybe thast why I did full coilovers and new leaf pack.

I haven't done beach because there is no beach where I am lol. at least none that I can drive on.

are you in 4lo or 4hi?

 

idk i have -12 off set rims what are ur rim specs? and 4h in 1st or second depending on speed and it feels like im draging a boat behind me

 

Try 4lo

- offset makes it even more likely to cut body mount as you push the wheel further out

 

i always though 4 low only for when getting stuck and maybe im not sure i just know i made it so it only rubbs on full turn in reverse now

 

Fuck for me off road means 4lo

 

ive yet to use 4 low

 

Only time I really use 4hi is in the snow on the streets. Transmission temps like 4lo a lot more lol

 

That a block lift for ya..lol

 

Im not a fan of block lifting, but have to admit that I have seen some done where it looks really good (stance).

 

i first started with only trying to level the truck but the 1" front spacer gave it 2" of lift and gave it a bro lean so i bought the 1" rear block to level it out. if i did it all over again i would just get 1/2" front spacer and leave it at that

 

Thank you so much for your recommendation @jeremy5000

 

New tires are on and now this...
