gogmorgo Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Just a comment, 3.55 is the factory ratio for the 4.0/aw4. If you're planning on increasing the tire size at all, you might want to go a bit deeper with the new gears.
Crassis-Comanche Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Ok, good point! But the tires I have are 235/75R15 (Wrangler Duratracs). Do you think this will be a problem? I want them for out Alberta winters and occasional off road.
gogmorgo Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Same size I'm running on 3.55's, shouldn't be a problem. Not really a significant change from factory, just cheaper cause they're more common. :D I was just saying if you were planning on going to bigger tires in the future, now would be the time. But then you'd also need to do the front or else give up 4x4... As to the tires in winter conditions, I have no first-hand experience with them, but know a couple guys with them and they seem to do alright. I'm in 'Toba, and our winters are basically the same, maybe a touch colder on average, but maybe less ice on the roads because we don't freeze-thaw cycle as much as you guys, chinooks don't usually make it out this far.
