Default tires and gears

With stock suspension and T-bars cranked 1 1/2", can i clear 32x 11.50. I know i can clear 265 75's but this is a oddball width and i wanted to double check. I'm wanting the pitbull growlers and is there anything i should know or get before i buy a set of 4.10 gears? seems like i heard something about not being able to go lower than the factory 3.90 with my carrier... maybe that was b.s...

thanx fellas.

HAH, you can put any gears you want, also. I am not 100% the width will be fine, my 10.5 rub, but only when the wheel is turned all the way. It also depends on which rims you have. You can put 4.56 gears if you want. My truck has 3.55 and a 3.9 and it sucks with 31's, 32 will fit im sure, johnnymagnum has 32's not sure about the width, think they might be 11.5.

well iv got 31x 10.50s now so i would hope that an inch wider and taller would work just fine with the bars cranked. anybody know of a good place to grab a set of gears for a reasonable price?

You should be able to clear 32's without issues. IF you can run 11.5 wide though depends. 97-99 came with a 7" wheel I believe, and 2000+ 8", which I dont know ifthe 7"will hold a 11.5 tire. They will rub lock to lock regardless of t-crank.

You can run 4.10 gears without a carrier change for sure, but I thought 4.56's required a modified or different carrier then stock.

Most of this info can be found in the search feature
