Default tire size difference?
im running 295/70s in the rear, and worn out 33x12.50 in the front, my question is, will it do any major damage to my drive line?

a 295/70 is 32.3 inches so with the 33 worn down they are prolly about the same now so i wouldnt think it would affect anything

i just went outside and measured, the 33's measured 30-3/4" and the 295s measured 32" which makes a difference of 1-1/4" also the width of the 33s measured about 11" and the width of the 295s measured about 10-1/2"

if you keep it in 2wd it won't hurt anything.
if you shift to 4wd, your t-case will put out a contract on your life.
