What gears to run for 37" tires 2.7l

Not too shure on what gears to buy to run 37s on my 08 2.7l 5speed
Plan on driving from ky to moab in the summer so will be foing lots of innerstate

 

Honestly, Id get 5.29 gears, and rent a u-haul and trailer to take out there.

 

I think you can now get 5.29. Another guy in TN going to 5.29 w/ 37s. He was on 4.88 or 4.56 with 37s and his 4banger didn't have enough ass. @allmotorrex

 

I'm with him. No way I'd drive that setup that far.

 

37s on a 4 banger on the interstate? Sounds miserable

 

37's and a 4 banger.... biggest gears you can get..... or do a doubler tcase.

Plenty of 4cyl guys are running 35’s with 4.88’s so I don’t see why 37’s with 5.29’s wouldn’t work just fine. Then again this is tacomaworld and the masses all follow one another so if it’s not a v6 it’s absolute garbage and not worth anyone’s time

 

Here is a chart according to the calculator on grimmjeeper.com. Left is stock 245/75-16 tires with stock 4.10 gears. The right is 37’s with 5.29 gears. Obviously the weight of the much larger tires will have an effect on things so I’d imagine 37’s with 5.29’s would drive similar to a truck with stock gears and 33’s. This is all speculation though as I have no experience with 37’s on 5.29’s

 

Go with the 5.29s. Ive got 4.88s on 35s with the 2.7 and live in CO. Our trucks are not big fans of the mountain passes...
Eventually I'll go to 37's but not before I get a supercharger.
