Well guys, I went and bent my steering arm. It has my tires slightly out of alignment but is surprisingly not eating up much tread. We gonna try and rebend it to appropriate shape and re-align the front end.

Anyways, I'm actually trying to figure out some tire sizes. As it sits, do you think I should size up to 34's or 35's? I would try to go 35 but I really don't want my drivetrain to get ticked at me. MAYBE one day I will re-gear to 4.10 but for now I'm stock. I also might put a leveling kit and 3" block on the back to get it up off the tires. Throw me some wisdom ya'll.

 

34s or 35s, either way your transmission will hate you and go kuput.

As far as the steering arm goes, dont bother to try and straighten it. It wont be easy, not to mention it will not be safe. Just bite the bullet and replace it.

 

I'm already at 33's that are larger than most 33's. Would one or two inches really be the end of the trans?

 

Seeing as though these trannys are weak to begin with, its very possible. Some have no issues, others do. Its realy hit or miss. You can go that big if you like, but just be prepared for it if/when it happens.

 

I hear ya out. Might get lucky and regear then put 35's in there. I try to keep the cost down by working on it myself with a buddy of mine who does this work alot. We've done some pretty redneck fixes. Thanks for the info.
