I ran 33s with 3.21 and now run 35s with 3.21. I find it to be managable and perfectly capable offroad. You'll want to regear but in my opinion there is no need to hurry it along if you can't afford it.

X2... im running 33's with 3.21 and with the 6 speed its manageable. i dont plan on going bigger than the 33's, so regearing, while it is on my list, is closer to the bottom than the top.

if i get my camper trailer, then definitely.... until then, im fine

i'm running 33's on 3.21's right now... no need for a regear at all. i use cruise control on the highway and its fine. i'm thinking about 35s but haven't decided.
jasonclarkusaf... can you still use 6th gear?

Default Amazing!!

Really I barley see a difference at all i got 33.11.516 nitto muds they are def louder make agood hum and really basically exactlly the same I would say maybe 35's woulndt be preferred unless regearing but also prob okay im deciding about puttin the lift kit in now with 33's not sure how itll look either too smalll or what not ome hd btw just incase you were wondering. Plus it looks good now just hate the ride of the stock shocks and springs it feels like shit and hate the rake.
