Looking at my sig picture, What size tire do you think I should put on it after a 2.5" leveling kit? Im thinking 36s would fill out the fender nice. Input?
35's may be less expensive... look at prices, and see what ya think. With 3.55 gears, 36's are going to make the truck a dog. (not to mention hard on the trans.)
Even 35's with stock gearing isn't going to be much fun out of the hole. For 35's, you really want 4.56, that keeps RPM vs. Gear pretty much stock. Since you are considering larger tires, I would also consider going to 4.88's. Give you a bit more grunt down low. (though the engine will be at a higher RPM at freeway speeds. prolly 150-200 higher at 70.)
that's kinda hat I was thinking 36's with 4.88s. Unfortunatly my truck wont barely make 70. And would 36s fit the fender with a 2.5" inch leveling kit? And yeah its ok but it just means more trans strain and worse MPGs
36's will be tight with a 2.5" level... 3" would be better. I don't think the rear will be an issue. 37's and you are going to get some rubbing issues, and probably more than just the lower control arms.... Definitely need to regear for those.... Also, you will notice a substantially rougher ride. (yeah, even more so than the usual 3/4 ton truck beating.)
