My 33in bfg mts are getting down on the tread, am going to go with kl71s I see the 33s and 35s are the same price,
What should I do ha?
My truck is lifted with front axle moved forward so the 35s will clear, and turbo set up is going on in winter (2.8 hilux)
Where from mate? I'm due for a new set and would go 35's on the cruiser.
You will want 4.8 diffs minimum but preferably 5.1s
Gearing goes up considerably.

Depends what your doing with it. I've always worked on -
Suzi 31's
Hilux 33's
Cruiser/Patrol 35's
as max size before breakage issues become too common.
Also gives them all about the same diff clearance.
Way out in left field here but from experience I have found that 35's have more maturity whereas 33's have firmer bodies.
Are you planning on getting into racing, winch challenge, or anything like that at all?
Nope
Sweet Cam's recommendation of a 5.1 diff is pretty solid then. Here's a guideline we use quite often. Attachment 8487
This is for 4th gear at 100km. I can't remember what the colours mean but you'll know how your Ute pulls.
Going by your chart you want 4.5 or 4.8 to get into the green range red will going by that be over working it rev wise.Quote:

You can run 35s on 4.8 diffs but it will be geared up like 33s and standard diffs. 35s on standard ratios you would struggle to pull 4th at 100 even turbod and low range would no longer be low range.
As Tussok said brakes are very important to consider also, the bigger diameter is like putting a pipe on a power bar .
I rebuilt my entire brake system to run 33s on road and it was acceptable. 35s on trips to 4wd required lots of pedal force to stop and was easy to push to fade point but i tend to drive pretty quick even when goin slowly.

Rushy, you live next to Woodhill
Some of us used to drive it regularly, and/or harder stuff.
I have retired from it for a while until my boy gets bigger and wants to go out :ORLY:
Besides building a new one is half the fun.
Woddhill? Yep I can remember coming across quite few while hooning through the forest on the back of a horse. It always seemed to me that the nag was faster, more veratile and didn't get stuck so often.Quote:
