Bad for transmission

Is running 285/75 with 3.55 gears bad for your transmission? I know they say regear with bigger tires, but wasnt sure if 33s was big enough.

It will put more stress on the tranny.
You would be much better off with some 4.10s

I don't see where you would have a reliability problem considering 3.08's were available from the factory with stock tires.
