Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

[Tyler]

I've got 285/75's and to be honest, I kinda wish I went with 35's. Obviously though, there's a big difference it what it takes to run the 35's. You've gotta consider all the cutting, CMC, big drop in gas mileage, regear, driveshaft angle, etc. With my 285's, I didn't really have to do much besides replace my UCA's and now I only rub at full flex. I want to commit to the 35's, I just don't know...

Also, is it just me, or do you wish there were a 35 that is thinner than 12.5". I feel like 10-11" would look sweet.

Just go with long travel + 35. that would look sweet on a long bed

That would look really good. Hmm...

I really wish I can also go 35 without much work. That or a 6in suspension lift

I’m going with 35s on mine. I’m still hesitant about going this route just because of all the additional money I have to spend in order to make this happen but I’ve been on 285 70 17 and wish I’d gone bigger.

That’s why I didn’t do it the first time. If funds didn’t matter I definitely would’ve.

I got 35x12.5’s with a 6” lift and I still needed to do a cmc to be able to drive off road without rubbing.

What else did you do besides the CMC?

Just some minor plastic trimming and a small part of the front bumper where it would hit on compression while turning.

You do the ECGS bushing? Driveshaft angle still fine?

Nah the diff drop makes the cv axles straight.

Hmm... this is sounding easier and more tempting than I was thinking.

I think the hardest part will be to pay up for the regearing lol

35s on a six inch lift is cheating lol go 37s!!! You know you want to lol

 

[Trail_limo_pro]

6 inch 37s ?

 

[Trail_limo_pro]

33 vs 35s

but if you can fit 37s then you can run maxxis trepadors fuuuuaaa these tires are beautiful

Lol. 37’s would be dope, but I’m happy with 35’s. I still use my truck as a daily driver. Lol. Just bought it in January and I already almost got 7k miles. Lol

 

[badfish_taco]

Yeah if I went 37s I’d definitely have to buy a beater to use as my daily. 37s i different ball game lol

 

[Tyler]

Not to derail my own thread, but here’s my 37’s, lol.

That truck makes those tires look small lol.

 

[Catfish]

i'm highly considering it too man. I'd like to trim the wheel wells up front and get a cmc when i come home to SoCal this summer.. so we will see... especially with re-gearing... fuck.

 

[Trail_limo_pro]

The ranger goat running 37s ???

 

[Trail_limo_pro]

Thread jack to 37s lololol

 

[Malcolm]

You’re talking about a lot of work just for 2.2” of tire... 285’s are fine. You’ll be chugging with no power behind the tires unless you regear.

your tires look huge on those wheels

 

[Kurupt_Hawaiian]

your tires look huge on those wheels

Thanks? Lol

 

[Catfish]

i'm awaiting 35's when i return from my trip to ca.. back to anchorage..

 

[Tyler]

Thanks? Lol

I think he means you got the most out of your wheel/tire combo, visually. Sometimes 35’s don’t look like much, but in your case they do look beefy as hell which looks badass.
