Get ready for less than 1/2 the power on hills, or feels like it have to run with the OD off to maintain anything around 65 MPH MPG drop of at least 2 to 3 MPG or MORE this is according to the scan gauge before and after the change Anyone who says different is full of crap unless of course you live on completely flat ground, never go where there are any hills, never want to pull a trailer etc. |

I never pull a trailer, hills... really only in my neighborhood. highway driving... maybe once a month. my average commute is less than 5 miles. but It might be a good idea to hold off for gears if I go 32" i guess. |

i felt the difference big time from stock to 265/70/16 A/Ts on soft 8s so i dont know how people can say it doesnt make that much of a difference. i drive on mostly flat ground 45-60 mph on a 11 mile trip to work everyday, i could definitely tell from stop lights. |

idk about euro crd's or anything but auto is 3.73 and manual is 3.21 (iirc). i have the 3.73s, hopefully switching to 4.56s and 33" tires in a couple months though.

hmmm... I went and looked and it said 3.73s were an individual option. you might have 3.21s I haven't heard any major complaints about 265/70. usually just 265/75 |

I shouldn't have the rubbing issue much. My front wheel well liners are basically nonexistent. I just need to pound my pinch welds. |

Three hockey pucks, right tom? |

depends on rim width etc. With the 8 inch wide MOABs I have two now and really need 2.5 or 3 as mine made some nice rub marks at the Badlands both front and rear of the flare equally. Popped one rivet loose is all but ...nothing else at least I didn't have to get a BFH out like someone in a red KJ did
