Is it possible to run 35's at the rear and 33's at the front, I'm not keen on a lift however i cant fit 35's under the front guard (apparently). Don't see any problems getting 35's under the back.

has any one ever done this?

not if u want to use 4wd, it will bind the transfer so i have been told

Not recommended in the gregorys. Because when your in "4h" or "4l" they will spin at different speeds. Possible yes, recommended no.

 

[T0nka]

ah yes, very good point

fine just convert it to a 2wd first!

ROFL... I don't think Truckster likes the idea...

You could put a set of 175/70/12 on the front and make it look like Herman Munsters truck... however within about 100 metres of selecting 4WD you would solve the question of whats the weakest link out of Transfer Case, Drive Shaft, Diff, Axles or CV joints.

Would make a good Utube Vid

I know ya shouldn't but just a question. How would it effect running gear? Wouldn't the smaller tyres just revolve faster? Only if you had massive traction would it cause running gear to fail?

I'm not a car nut, just trying out the why's of it all.

you will blow the transfer in no time did it with. old mq lasted not even 50m then no more 4wd

That is exactly what will happen, and with the rear and front outputs from the transfer case being the same speed will overload the transfer case and blow it. I have replaced 3 transfer cases on a triton, and 2 bravos from running only minor tyre diameter differences (15mm I think).

 

[rogue5861]

Ah cool, so new tyres an balding tyres could put more strain on the transfer case an possible make it go pop.

Very interesting. Wasn't personally planning on running 2 different sizes but seems to cause a pretty serious problem if you did.

tyres

plus you don't want to end up looking like a independant front end 100 series landcruiser nose down bum up style.......

 

[crazy_clown87]

you could do this if you got the diff ratio's right. you would have to work it out so the drive shafts spin at the same speed from wheel speed

 

[mistertapps]

yea but why go to all the trouble of changing diff ratios and stuffing around when you could spend that money and lower it..... (if you dont want to lift it) would look way better and you wont ever need to worry about blowing your transfer case cause you wouldnt be able to drive anywere to get stuck....!

It will also **** up your steering geometry

 

[truckster]

Your driving a 2.8
35's will really really affect your power. You already have 4.6's, you dont have much option.

 

[turps]

excluding the lack power. 35's will fit on a bog std GU.

a chip and an 3' should power it along
