Hey guys, I've been using this site for a while now for just the usual maintenance and I just got done with the TT and shackles. Once my current tires go bald and I go w/ the 31x10.5 R15's should I regear or no? My axles and gears are stock and I've got the 4.0 SOHC 6 cylinder.
Thanks

Unless you plan on towing alot, or plan on getting larger tires in the future I wouldn't bother re-gearing with 31s . I ran 33s with a crappy 3.27 ratio for a year, so you can run 31s and see for yourself if its worth the $$$ to step up to a new gear set.
 






welcome
 






Thanks for the welcome and the advice. Glad to hear that I won't have to make a fund for new gears.
