01 sport 35" muds

has anybody done it?? im sure with 3 inch bl 2"shackle and tt and some trims or new fender flares theyd fit. but how bad would my cv or u joints do. would the stock diffs be enough to spin the 35s or would there be not enough power going through to them

do you ever have any problems with it running 35s. did u switch up the gears? any trimming?

you are going to have to switch gears. 4.56 is the preferred for 35's. If you re only going to do a tt, shackles, and 3" bl then you are going to have to trim more than likely. But since you have a sport then im pretty sure you have 4.10 gears and 33's will look good with no trimming or switching of gears.

it would look something like this http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101193

i have 33s on right now and i want bigger there isnt enough clearance. but i dont knwo if i want to cut away at too much of the body. where can i find what my gears are?

 

[YountExplr]

sticker on your driver door. look for where it says axle and it will give you a code like d2, d4 , 42, etc. Then you have to find the page on here that has the gear chart for those codes. I can never find it twice lol

but im like 99% sure you have 4.10 gears.

4.10s are tolerable and come factory so it's easier to just leave them with 33s or smaller, but 4.56 with 33s and 4.88 with 35s is the way to go.

 

[Electrohacker]

i'm thinking of 35's down the road and i hate to kinda sorta hijack

but what would the difference be between 4.88 an 5.13 gears with a 4 door 5.0 that will be getting a 4406 modded to it

the whole gear ratio thing still has me a bit confused
