So I just removed my 2.5" BB spacer lift and installed a 3.5" suspension lift. My question is should I buy tires or gears first. I currently run 33's and would like 37's I have a 2008 U auto with I guess 373's. Will I be able to turn these tires and get gears next or should I get gears first?

 

You will be able turn them but it's not going to be very much fun to drive.
Ultimately, with 37s and an auto your going to need to re gear.
Look into 5.13 or 5.38, based on your needs. Do some searching and you'll find tons of info here about what one will be best for you.

 

Thanks for the reply. I plan on doing the gears just want to know if I will be able to turn 37's. I already run with OD off with 33's maybe if I keep it in 2nd I can get by for a bit...LOL

 

It all depends on your tolerance, if you can handle driving around sluggish for a little while and I say go with tires first. If you get gears now with the smaller tires you'll be running the revolutions on your engine to high and possibly cause some damage.

 

This is what I was thinking but since I already don't use overdrive I think I may be way undergeared. Anyway I think the yays have it tires before gears it is.

 

Tires first you don't want to risk any damage. Gears are next on my list also. Do you know what gears you are going to get yet?

 

With 37's its recommended that you go with 5.38 you can get away with 5.13's but it still might be a bit sluggish. Either size gear you go with costs the same. There is a good shop in dallas that does re-gearing for $900-$1000 out the door.

 

Also I don't have enough post to go to the classifieds but if anyone needs 5 nice MT Baha Claw 33's with about 5k miles PM me, I may know someone that wants to get rid of them.

 

Im interested in your BB

 

Not really sure 5.38 or bigger maybe 6 something with the auto. I'm kinda new to the offroad modding thing so all input will be considered
