I have a 2.5" AS front level kit plus the 3" blocks for the rear on order and I was just thinking: I have 3:55's so if I go with 35's, is my truck gonna run like a wounded mule?

 

Get a tuner!

That's my plan in the long run, but I figured I might need more then just a tuner to correct an issue like this.

 

If you don't tow/haul heavy loads you performance will be ok. Nothing to brag about, just ok.

 

I might just go with 33's then until I can get the cash to regear. It's such an expensive thing, and I don't have cash falling out of my pockets.

 

35's with 3.55 gears is driveable.I myself think the combo sucks.I will be regearing as soon as i have the money.

 

I'm not comfortable with the term "driveable" haha. I think sine I can't spend a ton of cash at one time, I'll just stick with the stock 17" rims and try going with 285/70R17. Wheel diameter measures 32.8. That's the closest tire I could find close to 33". These should fit no prob right?

I get a company discount with Firestone so I'm looking at a nice set of Dueler Revo A/T's.

 

According to the tire dimensions from discount tire's website, the stock 255/70R17 tire has a height of 31.06" and a width of 10.04".

The 285/70R17's have a height of 32.71" and a width of 11.22".

So if I stick with the stock rims, will the extra 1.18" in width be a problem?

 

bro im running 38"s on stock gears with no problem..

 

Yea, but HOW does it run? heh This is the first truck I've had that I felt like building up. I had a Chevelle and GTO from my teen years to mid 20's so I like a little giddy up, if ya know what I mean. I don't do much towing.

 

Im runnning 3.55's with 33's and a tuner. I am going to regear ASAP! When i went from 265/75-16's to the 33 i got the tuner to make it feal like it was with the 265's but that wasn't even stock. I want to get 4:10's bad!

 

OK i got 37s with 3.55s everyone says it slow on here but i dont think its bad at all, but im regearing in 2 weeks to 4.88s. Dont be scared to run 35s do you have a 5.4 and a lead foot you wont notice anything sept for your gas milage....

 

Well, I'm not planning on getting rims right away. Gotta save up some cash so I may just get 33's for the stock rims. Would 35's even fit on stock rims? NVM, let me research it on here, I'm sure it's here. haha

 

Yes it will fit.
