oh great, glad I found out about this now. I was going to get 36's but guess I should limit that to 35. My stock 20's are 33's and wanted bigger.

well as to your question about whether or not they would be low enough,there is a simple conversion you can do to find out what gears you need to go with to get the stock feel back after putting on bigger tires. take the size of the new tires (in this case 38) divided by the stock tire size (32 i think) and multiply that by the stock gear ratio. in this case, 38 divided by 32 equals 1.19. 1.19 times 3.55 equals 4.22. so to get the same take off acceleration and performance that you had with your stock tires you need to go with 4.22 gears, but since no one makes 4.22 gears that i know of, id just go with 4.56s and that will give you about the same feel as if you had stock tires with 3.92 gears. hope this helps.

My stock tires are 29 inchs and I had 3.55's. Are the 32's on the 20 inch rim?

yes i think the 32s are for the 20 inch rims. thats what i have so thats what i used for the measurement.

so in that case the gears you need to go with to get a stock feel back to the truck will be 4.65s. again i dont think anyone makes 4.65s, but 4.56s will work just fine, or you can go ahead and try and find some 4.88s for it.
