if you regear youll be able to handle 31s with a 4:10 ratio. if you go 4:56 you could run 33s. you can run 31s stock no lift.

u think the engine would be able to handle the 33s? ive heard alot that 33s wont be carryable by a 4cylinder?

you can run anything with the right gear ratio.

i'll post pictures tomorrow, I had 1993 reg cab short bed with 32x11.5x15 BFG a/t on alum alcoa's.

I had a 3.73 gear it was fine in city but sucked on freeway pretty much 5th was just for flat cruising. i recommend 4.10 for 32's.

was it doable heck ya would I run that set up again.... no

u cld run 33's with a 4.10 np, atleast with the 4.0 i kno u can

Re: bigger tires with a 4banger
 
what id do is go to a junkyard and get a ford explorer 8.8 rear end with the 4.10 gears and swap the axle in. thats the cheapest. a rebuild kit for your axle would be around 300 bucks. plus theres the labor costs to put them in, and a new axle would be less than $200. good luck, make sure that it has 4.10s, and if youre lucky itll have limited slip

read the thread and read his sig. he has a 2.3 and he wants 32s, but the 4.10s will work for him.

he has to match the front gears to the rear also. he has 4x4

Re: bigger tires with a 4banger
 
right colin, great point, but since he has ttb setup, itll be an easy swap if he can find a front axle off a post 97 ranger or explorer

Re: bigger tires with a 4banger
 
^ where does he say he is 4x4?

Re: bigger tires with a 4banger
 
look at the toyo open country a/t's trhey last awhile and they are agressive for offroad use

----------

its in his sig.

he needs to find one first lol 4.10 in a 3 rd gen is hard to find
