Running 33s with 3.55 gear
Has anyone ran 33s with a 3.55 gear. I drive my jeep on the road and on the trails and i need some advice. Im not sure if i have all the money to gear it out at the time. So Im just lookin for a second opinion

Details on the Jeep (XJ, YJ, 4.0L, auto, 5-speed)?
A lot of "Jeeps" came with 3.07/3.08 gears stock, so 33's with 3.55 isn't a whole lot worse than the 3.07 and stock tire setup. Like said above, it's not the optimum setup by any means but you can get by with it. |

I have 33s with 3.08 in my TJ and rarely see 5th gear...couldn't get out of it's own way if it had to.

And XJ's are pretty predictable: four-poppers got 410s, sticks got 307s, and 4.0 autos were 355s. So I'm sure that's what he's got... Robert

4.10's would be perfect! Lets see a pic of the vehicle we are talking about.

gears
ive got stock 4.10's in my 89 ford ranger with 35's. does great off road, but slow on the take off on the streets. ive also ran 28's and 30's before too and did excelent off road. had much better wheel spin with the smaller tires but still gets it good with 35's. you dont by chance happen to have a set of used 33's with decent tread layin around you wanna get rid of do you?? im in need of new tires.
