Anyone ever really experiance trouble with pinon angle and ring and pinon gearing running 33" tires. I have run close to 32" tires and couldn't imagine that 33's would affect the rpms much more then they did. I am running the regular 3.54 ring and pinon. |

I run 34" Swampers,live at 7500 feet(elevation), and still run 3.54 ring and pinion. My truck is still a daily driver, but that's just a few miles per day on pavement. Pulling grades is a chore at elevation. I am debating a ring and pinion swap, or regearing my LT230 transfer case. I have no trouble with the rear pinion angle, but with 5" of suspension lift, I will be going to a double cardan front driveshaft in the near future. |

Kevin,
Do you have pics of your setup? I'm running 34s as well on RTE 3" HD springs. Just wondering what you've done...

I have some posted here with 3" RTE springs, which I got a true 3.5" lift from. I just made 1.5" aluminum spacers recently, so I'll have to take some photos. I installed RTE extended brake lines at the same time. Most other work is modifying all of the bushings (radius arms and trailing arms). This is trial and error, but I have about as much travel up front as a three link. I make rear retainers, and get tons of rear travel. I'll take some photos soon, and e-mail them to you. |
