Ive been debating on wheel size, If I upgrade my 235/75 r15's to some 32 x 11.5's on stock rims. Will I need to regear my axels, or both (front and rear) for 4 wheeldrive, and will i have any tire rub?? Should a 3 inch body do it?
 






After installing the 32x11.50's on mine I could tell the truck was a little slugish off the line. You don't need to change them out, but it would help your truck regain some pep back. I have 3.73 in mine now and will probably get 4.10 to help it out.
Tire rub with the 4" on mine was very slight. I only had to trim the lower air dam to clear the wheels, but I don't know how a 3" will rub. Good luck.
 






i have 32s on mine and a 3 inch lift. i had to do some trimming on the fender well close to the doors and remove the litte ground effects type things. i also took off the little air dam type thing
