31's

[Mountaineer924]

Ok, im eventually going to get a 3inch body lift, but i cant afford tires and a lift at the same time, im thinking about getting the tires first, now can i get 31's and have no porblem with the rubbing or anything like that? right now our offroading place got shutdown because of some environment issue, so i wont be off roading for a while. second, im not to familiar with this gear thing, would i have to get different gears for my suv to run right? what about my speedo, will that read different? if so how do i get that fixed? thanks

Have you used the search feature at all?

This topic has been discussed more times than almost anything else.

you may have a problem with rubbing
your Speedo would be off by 5%
your X would probably be slower off the line with the bigger tires
you can fix the Speedo problem by going to your local ford dealer and picking up a new Speedo gear that will accommodate your larger tires. Not a hard install, look it up with the search feature.

The 99 Mounty doesn't have a speedo gear to change. The dealer can recalibrate the speedo through the computer programming. It'll cost you a little bit, but they can change it pretty easily from what I understand.

The tires shouldn't rub, even at stock height. I have the same setup.

Also you can buy a product from superlift called the truspeed that taps into your rear abs wires and calibrates the speedo.

Hey Jason.....will that work for a 95 explorer? I just swapped my speedo gear today from a 19 to a 20 tooth and now the speedo needle is bouncing??!#

I don't know exactly. Why not call them? It wouldn't tap into your rear abs wires I know, because your 95 uses the VSS from your transfer case, maybe it can tap into that?
