Sorry about the tire and wheel confusion... I'm looking at the H2 tires. (not the wheels)

 

All I have to say about modifications and warranties is this, If the modification caused the break or malfunction the waqranty is null and void. Papabear

 

so is re-gearing a bad idea then?


And if you were not going to re-gear due to warranty issues would you skip the larger tires all together?

 

Not regearing when it's really needed is the bad idea.

 

So pretty much... if i do not re-gear I get the lift and the tires and the trani (or some part that might in some way be affected by the tires w/o the grears) breaks... I'm still up the steam w/o a paddle.


On a new JK would the warranty issue stop you from doing the 3" lift, 35"s and new gears? Or would you say throw caution to the wind... if something goes wrong i can always go back to the installer?

 

Only if your dealer can prove that your lift or any other modification you made was the cause of your break.


Not at all. If you do it right the first time, you shouldn't have any problems. With just a 3" lift and 35's, I really can't see what would break except for maybe your axles if you have a Dana 35 in the rear. But then, that's an easy enough fix and one I wouldn't even bother with the warranty. At that point and time (or even before) I would just upgrade my axles to a set of aftermarket chromoly axles. Way better and stronger than stock

 

I have posted this earlier in the thread, maybe this will help you understand what is optimal for your situation.

lindsaythomp, are you looking at doing the gears as well?

Also... when are you expecting your jeep?... If you already have it... I may have to cheat and wait to see if you're happy with your mods..

 

Conax, you can cheat off of me. My jeep arrives this week. The Full Traction 3" lift is on order. By the time it gets here, I should have a couple of weeks with the 32" tires and 4.10 gearing. Then when I put on the 35"s I will have something to compare it to.

 

my 35's and 3" lift should be here this week...I'll let you all know how it works out..
