MiNi Beast Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sqeezed in 33's? I hope you got bumpstops, or else you be rubbing. Also hope you did some gearing with the 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowmans86mj Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 yes to the bump stops and no to the gearing. what would you recomend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 4.56s or 4.88s. I'm amazed that thing even goes on 3.55s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 avoid hills and rocks and mud, put stock tires on then wheel it. Regear to 4.88's to run 33's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It is very VERY important that you have some SOLID extraction attachment points front and rear. This comes before any lift or tires. Also, some aggressive 31s will suit you just fine. :thumbsup: 33s only give 1" more ground clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowmans86mj Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 well the only reason i got the tires i got is cause the tires on it were flat and my buddy was hard up for money so sold me 4 basically brand new tires for 200 so thats why i got them.. where exactly can i get it geared at or get the gears ordered from?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Gearing can easily cost over a grand. Be prepared for that. Also, don't ever spend that much on a Dana 35 rear axle. Invest your money into something that will last. :thumbsup: Selling/trading the tires and getting some aggressive 31s would be my plan of action. Just cause it's a good deal, doesn't mean it's a good idea. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I run 6.5" lift with 33x12.50 and have clearance issues. No bump stopping, still need to do some more cutting. The narrower 33x10.50 work pretty good with 6.5" lift. I can only imagine how badly you're rubbing the front flares when turning. My suggestions are as above: tow hooks up front (Custom 4x4 makes some good brackets for this), some type of recovery point on the rear, like a Reese style receiver, and a set of good 31" tires.

bowmans86mj Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 well if you know anyone interested in a set of 33x9x15 let me know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 33x9s? Those might be doable. What type of tire are they? Have you tried driving on them yet? Are they mounted on rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 33x9s? Those might be doable. What type of tire are they? Have you tried driving on them yet? Are they mounted on rims? he runs on them now. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 ??? I have heard of 33x9.50, and they are hard to find. Never heard of a 33x9.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowmans86mj Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 yes i have been driving them a little off road.. they seem to work good. they are mounted on stock rims. only rubbing they have are on sway bar linkage. and I'm almost sure they are 33x9 but i will double check next time i get out to my buddy's house. they are a off brand. 6 ply and look very similar to the super swamper ltb's :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If you can get them to work, go for it. :thumbsup: But make strong recovery points a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSimon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, you shouldn't have any clearance problems in the rear If you are on a tight budget ... just run what ya got and have fun with it. Don't put money into it right away ... get a feel for it and then make decisions. Oh, and get some tow points like Pete said. They are the most important thing you need for wheeling.

LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I wish you the best of luck at Haspin. I hate that place... Every time we go someone breaks something bad (and not cause of hard wheeling) and the mud is just way out of hand. Last time we were there we cought a 4dr JK Rubi on fire... Not to mention the inbreeding of quads running around everywhere... This was in January with "frozen" ground. This was probably the driest patch of mud as well.
