All I hear is banjo music..... :rockon: :rockon: Oh wait thats just southern Indiana :dizzy:





not saying its impossible......... but what is also possible is that your drivetrain will explode. If your set on running 32's make the 4.10 gear change sooner than later.


Oh, BTW have you run 32's with the 3.7L/mini van transmission combo?

Did I ever say it was impossible to run them?
No I didn't.
What I did say was you would be much happier running a smaller size unless you regear.
Your KJ will have to work much harder as well, motor/trans etc will all being wearing more running stock gearing and larger tires.
Case in point after I got the 4.10s in my average temp went down 15 degrees on the average according to the scan gauge. So lower temps, engine and tranny working less or easier.
Mileage will suck canal water as well
I know I know you don't care and you ran them for a few days before
so go ahead
But just be forewarned
Spacer lift/ not regearing/ larger tires :dead:
:POPCORN:

Ah yes, that reminds me. I am running a franky lift and had to do some rear iso's in the rear so I did not tear off my fender flares. So with a spacer lift...........you might wanna rethink the spacer lift/32's combo.

I also have a front bumper mod that has helped with easing the rubbing issue at that end.

As always I refer to Larry's (wildman) 33 inch tire issue. started with cutting the interior fender walls, then fabbing his own flares, which got put on hold for an engine transplant, and now some more extensive suspension mods. Not all because of the tire size, but as you can tell it can snowball fast!!!
