I just found out that i have a gear ratio of 3:55. What does this mean? If i get bigger tires do i need to change the gears?? I don't really know much about all of this, can ya tell!!!!!!!

What size tires are you going too?
 






I'm going to put a 3'' BL on. Will i be able to run 32 x 11.50 withou it rubbing. If not I will run 31 x 10.50. What is the biggest tire i can run with the BL without trimming anything. I am going to be mostly using it on road. Mostly for looks!!!!!!!!
 






Along with the body lift get warrior shackles and coil spacers then you would defintally be able to fit 32's maybe even 33's:D
 






what do the warroir shackles do and how hard are they to put on and where do i get them?
 






Warrior shackles will give you 2 inches of lift in the rear.www.desertrat.com has the shackles
 












If you want to run 33's definatelly upgrade to 4.10 gears....... for better "performance" off road. To fit 33's the cheap way use 3" BL, Skyjacker 2" suspension lift, new extended shackles and coil spacers up front. The whole thing should not cost more than $350.00 - $400.00 plus shocks...... but start shopping on this board.... chances are you'll buy everything here for fraction of new.....that is if you want to wait. But if you don't want to play with a few different lift parts go ahead and order a 4" suspension lift (about $375.00 - I seen it somewhere) and new shocks...... definatelly worth the money!

good luck!
