Are u running 3.21s stock? If so u can do it. It ain't great but doable. U will rarely use 4th and never 5th or 6th gear. Off road it will blow goats as u will have to use 4LO in any kind of hilly terrain. It's doable, are u gonna be happy? Prolly not.


Here's mine running 35s with a TF 2.5" coil lift.

If u have the 3.21 gears or even 3.73 gears on an auto. U will probably not enjoy it too much. That's just what I have seen from others with auto's. I have a stick and with 3.73 gears I am happy. I still have plenty of git up and go!

I have a RC 2.5 inch coil and 315/70/17 duratracs.

Here's my two door on 35's. I lost some gas mileage but i love it. Mine is an automatic too. I had to take it out of overdrive on highway inclines. I installed the cruise control kit and it made it a LOT easier driving long distances. I have a 45 minute drive one way on Mon, Wed, and Fri.

It isn't terrible with 3.73's. I'm sure it would be better with 4.88s , but I'm worried about breaking a pinion on the 30 with that deep of a gear and alloy shafts.
