Towing a heavy load with 35" tires and 3.55 gears?
I want to buy the biggest tires that I can with a 3" body lift and I think I can fit 35" tires. The problem is that I tow a 6000# tractor around alot. I don't mind if it feels a little slow but I don't want to damage anything or feel like I have 4 cylinder engine under the hood. I really don't want to spend the money to have my gears changed to 4.10's. The other option is to go with 33" tires but I don't know if it makes enough difference in the way it will pull something. Open to suggestions. What do you think!

No problems here.
I've got 35's and 3.55 gears and I haven't run into any problems towing my camper which weighs a little over 4000 lbs with the bed loaded up with my quad and camping gear. It's a little less than what you'll be pulling but like I said, I can cruise comfortably at 70mph on the freeway with my weight. Hope this helps.
