Has this subject been updated ? I'm considering doing a 6.5" or 7" lift and going with 35" - 37" tires on a 2014 Ram 1500 rwd but can't find much about if i need to regear or not there's RUclips videos on using AlphaOBD to change the tire size , transmission shift points , speed recalibrate
You forgot to mention how upgrading to 35s from a factory 30 would kill the life of the transmission much MUCH sooner, make the transmission heat up quicker from working harder, and make it impossible to maintain speed going up hill.
I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L 4x4 with 3.73 gears, i plan to get bump up my tire size to a 33x12.50r17 nitto ridge grappler or recon grappler. Can i regear to 4.10 gears so my fuel mileage can be retained if possible, or what gears will i need?
I estimate that going from 33in tire with 4:10s to 37s with 4:56 is about right to keep the factory speedo numbers, etc.... I found a formula online that said that 4:56s would be the closest match..Truck is a new Ram Power Wagon with 6.4 Hemi....I drive it as my daily driver and go on long trips over the Sierras a lot, so I want it to be as close to factory RPM's as possible....If it was a dedicated crawler, I'd probably pick 5:13s.......Or strictly a commuter, I'd have stayed with 4:10s......Anyone have a different experience (especially with the PW) Thanks for the video!
So I recently brought a set of 38 inch tires from you guys and I have a 2009 F150 six speed transmission four-wheel-drive and I have no clue and trying to get as much advice as I can. If I should get 4.88 or 5.13 I don’t do any off-road at all but I definitely want to have nice low and torque I mostly only do city driving. If I go on the highway, it’s only an hour away to go to the beach. Opinions please
2010 f150 4.6litre want to go to 37 inch tires. Also would like to maintain factory rpms and stuff and don’t want to lose efficiency from a stop. I’ll need to tow too but nothing too heavy
Great info for the people who don't know. I over geared my 3rd gen 4runner for (as you put it) "a mechanical advantage". 5.29's with 35's I piss off most brodozers stop light to stop light. On the highway though... I keep right lol
I have 35's with a 6 inch lift and 3.31 gearing. Have you had a truck with the same specs and didn't get regeared? Just don't want to ruin my transmission
Get a custom tune first. Then regear. Better to spend 400-500 bucks first and then $1000 per axle later. Regearing requires a custom tune anyway to get the most out of it.
I have a 2018 and a tune will void the warranty unfortunately. I did the hypertech speed recalibrate so it definitely helped . Which tune would you recommend though
Don't forget if you go too big of tires without re gearing it will kill your transmission. manual and auto. In different ways. especially an older model auto that's like a 4 speed or 3 speed. It will be up shifting and down shifting all the time and the torque converter will be in and out of lockup all the time killing the clutch packs from slippage and over heating the transmission. And if the engine has a tuner for more power on it with that combination with the stock gears like they are with the great big tires then that conditions becomes even worse. And you loose your towing compacity. A manual transmission the clutch will spend most of its time slipping to get going from a stop or being slipped to creep the vehicle around at low speeds. The rest of the time the vehicle just performs like crap acceleration wise since everything is directly geared ratio wise. And say a 5th gear overdrive may no longer be usable around say 55 mph. Now it may be like 72 mph at the bare minimum required speed. But then your loosing more power running up against wind resistance at 70 mph and your rpms are so low that its unbearable. especially with lower horsepower and torque engines. I haven't even begun with the rotational mass and rolling resistance of the tires themselves yet either. lol Anyway that's my 2 cents. You go from say 28'' tires to like 33 or 35'' tires you may have to re gear for sure. I used those sizes in my example due to owning a 99 Ford Ranger. stock with 28' tires and am running 31' tires now. With 4:10 gears stock its still good. I intend keeping that way. If I were to go larger tires like 35' tires then its time to re gear. From a 4:10 to a 4:55 or a 5:38 depending on intended use of application. So ya that's all I wanted to say on this. Good video though.
what do you think about a 2wd 99 tacoma, originally 14s. i put heavy duty leafs, a day star 1.5 inch front coil lift/leveler, then put 15s with 235 75 15 tires, do i need to worry about the trans and engine overworking? id go back to 14s quick if this is no bueno. i know anything off stock will affect but.. thanks for your input, kinda wish i had done 225 70 15 if anything
Ive got an 04 f150 xlt with the 5.4, im getting it a 3 inch lift with 33 inch tires, i definitely plan to regear it, i just need to figure out whats a good ratio
you do not need to regear it mate... trust me.. even if you go 35s as long as you don't tow.. if you plan to tow and you got 35s then ya go ahead regear... but on your 33s... you can still tow on your stock ratio (given its a v8 engine of course....)
An easy way to figure out what gears you need is to go on a forum dedicated to your specific vehicle. For example I learned that for my ford ranger I should put 4.10's for 32's & 33's, and 4.56's for 35's
Mountain_Man Best way is to either use a gear ratio chart or use the following formula: (stock gear ratio) x (new tire size diameter) ÷ (stock tire size diameter) × 1.1 The final part is adding an additional 10% of gear to compensate for additional tire mass and rolling resistance. This is at least a good starting point. Some 4 cyl and 6 cyl's you may opt to go 20% over to compensate for the lack of power
Mountain_Man what would you suggest for a 2011 F150 5.0 with 35’s mud tires ? I take the truck almost everywhere , muddying , up trails , sand dunes down in Baja , full throttle out in the dessert but the power is just not there thanks to the heavy 35 “ mud tires . Help!
Mountain_Man what would you suggest for a 2012 f150 5.0 with 37inch tires 8inch lift really just in town driving and river beds mudding just like my normal power back.
So I have a 2006 F-150 with 33's and a 4.6 v8 and I believe it has 3.55 gears form the factory and it is definitely nowhere near under powered at all but I would like to have more because of towing and why not it gets a lot of off and on road use so I don't want to gear it super low but just a little bit what should I go with?
I got mine in the shop right now and they are putting a 9 inch lift with 37x13.50r20 wheels and tires we have the same truck but i dont know the rear-end size of our trucks
Man yall trippin he probably never really does videos and they asked him because hes probably the most knowledgeable. Everybody has stage freight. Gtf out. I didn't even notice his way of talking because of the INFORMATION. Thats the reason you even got to this video. BTW thanks a lot 🙏 for the info
Ill be calling you when time for wheels and tires. Have Nissan SV 2017,2.5. Warranty expires 2020 and never had a stock vehicle in my 62 years, even boats or motorcycles. Can I run 15" rims x8" and 31 10.50x 15 while keeping original back spacing.
I have a 96 Nissan Pickup 4cyl 2WD. I believe my gear ratio is 3.54 and I want to put 235/75R15 tires. Am I gonna have a issue with the tranny or anything else besides slower take offs? This truck is primarily used on pavement. Thanks for any info.
so for a larger wheel and wanting to keep the same RPM in cruising, would i go in a lower gear ratio? like say something is a 3:73, would they go down to a 3:31 to keep that same or close to the same cruising RPM?
my 04 sierra came with 16s.. i put on 18s... is it still powerful enough? or old enough to regear? it still has the same size tire just bigger rim by 2”
just got to the end of the video.. my truck is purely street drive too. do you have a newer truck then mine at the time of this video? like did u mean new trucks have the power as in anything about 2014?
Please, someone smarter than me help me out, I'm confused as crap. I have a 2012 2wd automatic Tacoma prerunner i4 2.7L 6 lug, and I put a 3 inch rough country lift on it and 285/75/16 Nankang conqueror all terains on it. I have stock rims with a 1/4 inch spacer in the front. If all I did it for was looks and it's a pavement princess, do I really even need to regear? I know my stock gear ratio is 4:10 if that helps.
Your best bet would be to ask a couple of local shops and see what they would charge to do it or maybe check out some online forums and see what other people have payed for re-gearing!
I have a lifted 7in 217 ford f-150 2.7 ecoboost on 35’s (2wd, live in cali) and it has the 3.31 gear ratio.. what would you recommend to regear to.. mostly city driving very lil hwy.. tow maybe twice a year. Ive looked at dealer trucks with the same engine/setup and they upgraded to 3.55 gears
Jerry Bulla wheel bearings lol. Chipped paint, lots of tickets depending on where u live, so wide that your wheels are going to hit everything so probably a lot of curbing
So many variables to account for Jerry, how someone drives, driving conditions, road/offroad use, truck setup, suspension, how well they maintain their vehicle, location etc!
Custom offsets I hope to get a reply. But I plan on going on a 6 inch bds. And 26x16 wides. But they told me bad mpg. Bad ball joins. And lots of problems. Is that true.? Or having a nice suspension help alot?
Look I heard and seen both videos that you guys did regearing and to be honest it's really important that the information that you give us customers is accurate after changing your stock tires to bigger tires you're changing the whole geometry of the shift points in transmission adding bigger tires changes to Rolling resistance the answer to this topic is yes you do have to re gear you will gain back your top and horsepower you'll get back gas mileage and pretty much you will put it as it was stock for instance the Ford Raptor comes with 35 inch tall tires from Factory they built it with 411 gears my F-150 came with 331 gears I added 35 inch tires in my gas mileage went down the drain I recently recovered my truck to 411 and everything was put back into Factory respect
This was the singular reason I did not lift my truck. The forums all say you may as well not lift it if you aren't going to regear and regearing is so damn expensive not to mention no one around here does it. With a 5.3l v8 I feel like it shouldn't be needed.
xXxBlackwaterXxX Watch the instructional video on youtube. CJ Pony parts has one. Take your time, buy all the tools you'll need, buy your gears with installation kit, and do the job yourself. It's really not that hard. The biggest pain in the ass for me, (literally) was laying on my back in the driveway while changing the gears. A lift would be sooo much easier.
He needs to go back to school. He got the meaning of the gear ratio wrong. Its specific to the pinion and ring gear. For every 3.73 rotations of the pinion gear the ring gear rotates once. 3.73:1
I have put 5.13 gears on my 98 tj lots of torque with my 4.0 manual 5 speed. I am needing new tires and running 33's now was looking to purchase some new toyo open country mud tires. Would 35's be better than the 33's? What's your opinion if ya wouldn't mind helping out?
I got a 2009 gmc sierra with a 5.3 and i put 37's on it and it dropped my rpms to like 1500 at 70 and had no power at all, i had 3:42 stock gears. Regeared to 4:56 and runs 2k rpms at 70 now which is pretty close to stock. Made a night and day difference for me.
Thats what i think too but i just installed a lift kit on my truck with 35inch tires and i saw a big difference, i just to get an average of 19 or 20 mpg on my 15 sierra 1500 and now with the lift and bigger tires got it down to 13 or 14 mpg. And i did saw that the rpms were like @ 1500 at 70 mph but i felt the truck heavy from the start. Any small brigde or very small hill the truck would go in overdrive big time and feel no power. I have the 3.42 gears too and ill be going to a 4.56 gears. To have it back to stock.
If you beat on/tow with your truck a ton, or live in the mountains, it wouldn't hurt to regear, but if you don't beat on it and don't tow heavy/every day you should be plenty fine Jim!
Depends on your current gears.... If you have 3.42 gears and put 35's on you will kill it..... 3.73 won't be as bad but it will still suck with the 5.3 engine and the tranny will hate you a lot if you tow. I'd say 4.10's minimum.....4.56's would make it feel stock.... 4.88's haul ass. I run chev HD 6.0 with 4.10's and I noticed the 35's quite a bit.
yes my gears are 3.42 but I dont tow or haul or anything like that but some people tell me it wont hurt the trans but you will lose some power which Im not really concerned about. I just dont want to damage the transmission and have to pay a couple thousand after getting a lift and 35s.
Best way is to either use a gear ratio chart or use the following formula: (stock gear ratio) x (new tire size diameter) ÷ (stock tire size diameter) × 1.1 The final part is adding an additional 10% of gear to compensate for additional tire mass and rolling resistance. This is at least a good starting point. For overall drivability, it's absolutely worth regearing and since you have a 2wd, scratch up the extra dough and regear. It doesn't cost that much in the grand scheme of what you're wanting to do with the truck. Your transmission will thank you. And subconsciously you won't hate driving your truck
@@strNpwrKC not everybody has time to watch entire videos before commenting. Besides, he said at least three times "there's no clear-cut answer." Apparently matt had a clear-cut answer on the matter.
Read somewhere that 4.56 would be better than 4.88 on a 2018 JLU Wrangler sport 8 speed auto with 35" tires & "3.5 lift. Guess thats the sweet spot for DD on road/ moderate off road. Pretty sure you said something to that effect in the video , want to make sure I heard right.....thanks man.
@@downlow5077 If you're at 3.55, I recommend 4.56. Just so you'll always have power. I went 4.11 and wish I could get a little more power even with a custom tune. If you're on a Ford Ecoboost setup, not as necessary since turbos give all that power.
@@downlow5077 Good luck. Expect to pay around $1000 per axle. Anyone charging more than that avoid them. Also ideally go to a 4x4 shop that does these daily.
@@SteveLord I was gonna do the rear myself and pay for the front when I get my lift done too, figured it'll cost a little less since the front end will be torn apart.
I think you guys should make another video that does go in depth on this question bcuz Bryan touched on things I didn't even consider! Definitely have to send questions to that email lol
If you want factory driveability with different size tires, There is a method to getting the answer. Take the new tire size, multiply that by the factory gear ratio, then divide by the factory tire size.
@@codystelzer5700 so what if ur number is in beween? Ie. Tundra has a 4.30 factory so to put 35s on you get just shy of 5. Nitro gears offers a 4.88 and 5.29 for the tundra
@@gfgneo i would keep looking around to see if anyone offers something closer to what you need. Otherwise you will have to make a compromise one way or the other. Personally I would go with the 4.88. That gets you as close as possible and you won't be losing too much torque
My friend had a stock gears on 35s on his silverado 2001 2500 hd vortec 6.0 got like 13 mpg. He regeared I forget what ratio but he got 22 mpg and it hauled ass
I have a 2002 1500hd 6.0. 4x4. It came with 3.73. I installed 35’s and the mileage on the highways was between 10 and 12 when truck was new. A year later I re geared it to 4.56 which is the equivalent of going from 3.73 to 4.10 with stock wheels. I wanted max towing for my toy hauler. Needless to say my mileage stayed the same as with the stock gearing with the 35’. I don’t think you will ever get as good Mileage as you did with the OEM setup on a gas rig do to the heavier wheels and higher stance. But you can get your power back with higher gearing, but at the expense of higher cruising rpm’s and lower fuel mileage.
Bocho214 There's actually a formula for it online. I can't remember what it is. But Google it and it goes off of your stock tire size and gears and it'll tell you what gears you need.
Bocho214 I have a 2015 Sierra 5.3 with 3.42 ratio Which gear ratio and did you end up putting on your truck because I want to lift my truck 9”and put 22x14 35s and what is your gas mileage?
Too many variables unfortunately, driving, driving conditions, where you drive, how often, how well you maintain your vehicle, what kind of vehicle, tire size, the list really goes on of potential variables. Shawn's hummer has been on 14 wides for just about a year, and its been offroad up north quite a few times, tons of driving, year round with no issue. Same can be said for CO2! Proper maintenance and occasionally checking everything will be your best way to achieve longevity!
I know you already did a video on wheel spacers, but I still think there's some more things on it you can cover, like proper and safe installation, maintaining them, etc. They seem to get a lot of hate because most people still aren't educated on them. I just ordered a set of Bora spacers from you guys, and I'm excited! Just don't want the wheels to fall off.
What would it cost to change the gear ratio on a 2015 ram 1500 5.7 hemi 8spd 4wd. Currently I'm running 3.21 on 37x12.50r20 and what gear ratio would you recommend?
only1cix you're gonna have a hell of a time trying to regear that truck. I couldn't even get any gear shops to look at my front diff. The rear diff isn't that big of a deal. The lowest you can really go is 4.10 gears. (Have to buy the gears from RAM because they are the only ones right now that make gears for that front diff in the 1500s)
C'mon CO's you guys spend too much time and money on these videos to not have a better or more experienced spokesman. I like brad but your teams needs to practice on their presentation skills
Very helpful. I’m starting to think it a steep price to pay to have larger tires on my F150 Tremor.
Newer Tremors come with 4.11s right?
Real talk 💯

I was running 35’s on my jeep Tj with 3.73 gears for a while. Last year I regeared to 4.88. It was by far the best purchase I’ve made on the jeep
What about the stressed being placed on the transmission
With all the figeting one would think he was high as fuck
Gumby Grom i thought he was knowledgeable and explained the topic well, whether he's high i don't know, i like his sense of humor. Just saying,no hate
Brads gears are constantly turning, hes gotta be doing something 24/7 just the way he is!

Ill be calling you when time for wheels and tires. Have Nissan SV 2017,2.5. Warranty expires 2020 and never had a stock vehicle in my 62 years, even boats or motorcycles. Can I run 15" rims x8" and 31 10.50x 15 while keeping original back spacing.
Shoot us an email to info@customoffsets.com 🤘🏼
What tires are on that Toyota?
I have a 96 Nissan Pickup 4cyl 2WD. I believe my gear ratio is 3.54 and I want to put 235/75R15 tires. Am I gonna have a issue with the tranny or anything else besides slower take offs? This truck is primarily used on pavement. Thanks for any info.
You should be plenty fine, 235 isn't much different in size to stock!
so for a larger wheel and wanting to keep the same RPM in cruising, would i go in a lower gear ratio? like say something is a 3:73, would they go down to a 3:31 to keep that same or close to the same cruising RPM?
otherway around Vieno you'd go 3:73 to a 4:10 for example
What if you switch to 35s and tow a few thousand pounds daily? Need to regear then?
I enjoy your lesson man, i think you are good teacher
I’m running a leveling kit on my 2009 f150 and I’m not sure if I should regear when I get my 35s on there
You regearing wouldnt be necessary at 35s but larger than that you might want to consider it
I’m glad I came across this video, helpful video and clear cut. Was thinking of a regear and now I should be fine. Thanks bud!!!
Glad it helped!
my 04 sierra came with 16s.. i put on 18s... is it still powerful enough? or old enough to regear? it still has the same size tire just bigger rim by 2”
just got to the end of the video.. my truck is purely street drive too. do you have a newer truck then mine at the time of this video? like did u mean new trucks have the power as in anything about 2014?
It won't have an issue going 16's to 18's! You can regear anything new or old!
Please, someone smarter than me help me out, I'm confused as crap. I have a 2012 2wd automatic Tacoma prerunner i4 2.7L 6 lug, and I put a 3 inch rough country lift on it and 285/75/16 Nankang conqueror all terains on it. I have stock rims with a 1/4 inch spacer in the front. If all I did it for was looks and it's a pavement princess, do I really even need to regear? I know my stock gear ratio is 4:10 if that helps.
You do not have to Walter!
Custom Offsets thank you for straightening out that brief moment of insanity. Love the channel by the way.
Does somebody knows how much it’s gonna cost in Canada to re gear ⚙️ a ram 1500?
Your best bet would be to ask a couple of local shops and see what they would charge to do it or maybe check out some online forums and see what other people have payed for re-gearing!
Great information!!!! Thank you for explaining it clear and concise!
I have a lifted 7in 217 ford f-150 2.7 ecoboost on 35’s (2wd, live in cali) and it has the 3.31 gear ratio.. what would you recommend to regear to.. mostly city driving very lil hwy.. tow maybe twice a year. Ive looked at dealer trucks with the same engine/setup and they upgraded to 3.55 gears
Upgrade to 4.11 or whatever is close to that for your generation. Just to make it worth the money. You should always upgrade at least 2 tiers.
SteveLord thank you so much i’ll look into it
Do a video on problems that come with 14 wides.
Jerry Bulla wheel bearings lol. Chipped paint, lots of tickets depending on where u live, so wide that your wheels are going to hit everything so probably a lot of curbing
So many variables to account for Jerry, how someone drives, driving conditions, road/offroad use, truck setup, suspension, how well they maintain their vehicle, location etc!
Jerry Bulla the problem is that they are 14 wides. Ugly as hell.
Custom offsets I hope to get a reply. But I plan on going on a 6 inch bds. And 26x16 wides. But they told me bad mpg. Bad ball joins. And lots of problems. Is that true.? Or having a nice suspension help alot?
The New Life. Pt2 You'll wear through parts faster yeah. If you want those wheels get them though!
If you don’t regear you also lose mpg on your truck right?
when lifting n putting on a larger wheel/tire setup you're going to lose MPG's regardless due to wind drag, etc!
Look I heard and seen both videos that you guys did regearing and to be honest it's really important that the information that you give us customers is accurate after changing your stock tires to bigger tires you're changing the whole geometry of the shift points in transmission adding bigger tires changes to Rolling resistance the answer to this topic is yes you do have to re gear you will gain back your top and horsepower you'll get back gas mileage and pretty much you will put it as it was stock for instance the Ford Raptor comes with 35 inch tall tires from Factory they built it with 411 gears my F-150 came with 331 gears I added 35 inch tires in my gas mileage went down the drain I recently recovered my truck to 411 and everything was put back into Factory respect
This was the singular reason I did not lift my truck. The forums all say you may as well not lift it if you aren't going to regear and regearing is so damn expensive not to mention no one around here does it. With a 5.3l v8 I feel like it shouldn't be needed.
You don't have to, but your truck will be a dog. Especially without even a custom tune.
xXxBlackwaterXxX Watch the instructional video on youtube. CJ Pony parts has one. Take your time, buy all the tools you'll need, buy your gears with installation kit, and do the job yourself. It's really not that hard. The biggest pain in the ass for me, (literally) was laying on my back in the driveway while changing the gears. A lift would be sooo much easier.
Hi Brad, What would you recommend as far as gear ratio? I have a 2013 2500HD Silverado 6.0 Vortec sitting on 22x12 -44 + 40 inch Nittos.
Please send an email to info@customoffsets.com and they should be able to figure out which gear ratio would be right for you!
4.88 or better.
.75 speed is pretty fun as well! Nice video sir.
do I need tune after regearing?
May be just to calibrate ur speedometer!
All his videos are painful you make no sense cool dude but he needs to output the information there better
lol .75 play back sounds much cooler!
thanks for the knowledge CO!
He needs to go back to school. He got the meaning of the gear ratio wrong. Its specific to the pinion and ring gear. For every 3.73 rotations of the pinion gear the ring gear rotates once. 3.73:1
I have put 5.13 gears on my 98 tj lots of torque with my 4.0 manual 5 speed. I am needing new tires and running 33's now was looking to purchase some new toyo open country mud tires. Would 35's be better than the 33's? What's your opinion if ya wouldn't mind helping out?
When would you recommend installing a Master Install Kit (along with the Ring and Pinion), vs just installing the Ring and Pinion?
I got a 2009 gmc sierra with a 5.3 and i put 37's on it and it dropped my rpms to like 1500 at 70 and had no power at all, i had 3:42 stock gears. Regeared to 4:56 and runs 2k rpms at 70 now which is pretty close to stock. Made a night and day difference for me.
Jesse N Did that re-gearing improve your gas mileage?
+Duncan Paisley if you gear it higher like he did it will lower your mileage
Not necessarily because the truck doesn't have to work as hard to get moving
higher rpm in the same truck always means worse mpg...
Thats what i think too but i just installed a lift kit on my truck with 35inch tires and i saw a big difference, i just to get an average of 19 or 20 mpg on my 15 sierra 1500 and now with the lift and bigger tires got it down to 13 or 14 mpg. And i did saw that the rpms were like @ 1500 at 70 mph but i felt the truck heavy from the start. Any small brigde or very small hill the truck would go in overdrive big time and feel no power. I have the 3.42 gears too and ill be going to a 4.56 gears. To have it back to stock.
I like this guys videos
Explains well and just feel like we are having a normal conversation
Will stock gears running 35s on a Sierra affect or shorten the life of the transmission?
If you beat on/tow with your truck a ton, or live in the mountains, it wouldn't hurt to regear, but if you don't beat on it and don't tow heavy/every day you should be plenty fine Jim!
Custom Offsets thanks I have a 2wd sierra 4.5” lift with 33s and was wanting go to 6” and 35s but was afraid I might mess up something
Depends on your current gears.... If you have 3.42 gears and put 35's on you will kill it..... 3.73 won't be as bad but it will still suck with the 5.3 engine and the tranny will hate you a lot if you tow. I'd say 4.10's minimum.....4.56's would make it feel stock.... 4.88's haul ass. I run chev HD 6.0 with 4.10's and I noticed the 35's quite a bit.
yes my gears are 3.42 but I dont tow or haul or anything like that but some people tell me it wont hurt the trans but you will lose some power which Im not really concerned about. I just dont want to damage the transmission and have to pay a couple thousand after getting a lift and 35s.
Best way is to either use a gear ratio chart or use the following formula: (stock gear ratio) x (new tire size diameter) ÷ (stock tire size diameter) × 1.1
The final part is adding an additional 10% of gear to compensate for additional tire mass and rolling resistance. This is at least a good starting point.
For overall drivability, it's absolutely worth regearing and since you have a 2wd, scratch up the extra dough and regear. It doesn't cost that much in the grand scheme of what you're wanting to do with the truck. Your transmission will thank you. And subconsciously you won't hate driving your truck
Definitely regear... especially if you're towing
When you don't watch the entire video.
@@strNpwrKC not everybody has time to watch entire videos before commenting. Besides, he said at least three times "there's no clear-cut answer." Apparently matt had a clear-cut answer on the matter.
Work for mpg?
Changing gearing to the correct tire ratio accordingly should in return help your mpg as well
those are 37"? wow I would have guessed 40"
"It don't work that way" lol well said.
Need more Brad
Read somewhere that 4.56 would be better than 4.88 on a 2018 JLU Wrangler sport 8 speed auto with 35" tires & "3.5 lift. Guess thats the sweet spot for DD on road/ moderate off road. Pretty sure you said something to that effect in the video , want to make sure I heard right.....thanks man.
Regear no less than 2 tiers/levels higher to make it worth your money. (Have 3.55? Skip 3.73, go to 4.10+)
That's what I'm thinking for my 2014 f150 on 35's
@@downlow5077 If you're at 3.55, I recommend 4.56. Just so you'll always have power. I went 4.11 and wish I could get a little more power even with a custom tune. If you're on a Ford Ecoboost setup, not as necessary since turbos give all that power.
@@SteveLord definitely be going with 4.56 thanks for the feedback man
@@downlow5077 Good luck. Expect to pay around $1000 per axle. Anyone charging more than that avoid them. Also ideally go to a 4x4 shop that does these daily.
@@SteveLord I was gonna do the rear myself and pay for the front when I get my lift done too, figured it'll cost a little less since the front end will be torn apart.
Thanks big dawg
i having a engine swap in my landcruiser 70 series 3f engine 4 speed manual gear to 1fz-fe 4 speed auto do i need re gear?
That would depend on your personal preference and your plans with the vehicle amir
I'm sorry but his talking is to painful for me to watch a whole video...
Mario Castillo totally agree
Does this guy normally speak to others in public?
Set the playback speed to 1.5
Sounds like he’s out of breath. Need to get in shape
I couldn't finish it either. Made it to 5 minute mark and had to call it.
I think you guys should make another video that does go in depth on this question bcuz Bryan touched on things I didn't even consider! Definitely have to send questions to that email lol
Plenty of stock Toyotas came with 4.88 gear ratios... Specifically second gen 4runners & 3rd gen pickups with a 4 speed auto and tow package
I have 3.42s and 38s🙃
I’m in the same boat. 3.45 on 37s 🤧
So with a 12in lift on 24x14 cast wheels on 40s what gearing would I do?
We would recommend googling what others have done or asking local truck groups 🤘🏼
If you want factory driveability with different size tires, There is a method to getting the answer.
Take the new tire size, multiply that by the factory gear ratio, then divide by the factory tire size.
Example
35" X 4.10 ÷ 30.5" = 4.47
So find a gear set that is closest to that number. Again this is to keep as close to factory ratios as possible.
@@codystelzer5700 so what if ur number is in beween? Ie. Tundra has a 4.30 factory so to put 35s on you get just shy of 5. Nitro gears offers a 4.88 and 5.29 for the tundra
@@gfgneo i would keep looking around to see if anyone offers something closer to what you need. Otherwise you will have to make a compromise one way or the other. Personally I would go with the 4.88. That gets you as close as possible and you won't be losing too much torque
My friend had a stock gears on 35s on his silverado 2001 2500 hd vortec 6.0 got like 13 mpg. He regeared I forget what ratio but he got 22 mpg and it hauled ass
He probably went with 4.56s or 4.88s
Nick yea I think it was 4.88s
Ain't no way in hell a 6.0 vortec ever got 22mpg unless you throw it in the passenger seat of their civic
I have a 2002 1500hd 6.0. 4x4. It came with 3.73. I installed 35’s and the mileage on the highways was between 10 and 12 when truck was new. A year later I re geared it to 4.56 which is the equivalent of going from 3.73 to 4.10 with stock wheels. I wanted max towing for my toy hauler. Needless to say my mileage stayed the same as with the stock gearing with the 35’. I don’t think you will ever get as good Mileage as you did with the OEM setup on a gas rig do to the heavier wheels and higher stance. But you can get your power back with higher gearing, but at the expense of higher cruising rpm’s and lower fuel mileage.
thanks for the vid
I got a 2015 Silverado just did 8" lift with 22x14 35s what y'all recommend anyone
are you asking if 35's would fit, or what 35's to go with Bocho?
Custom Offsets i put a 8" lift with 35s was trying to see what gear you would recommend
Bocho214 There's actually a formula for it online. I can't remember what it is. But Google it and it goes off of your stock tire size and gears and it'll tell you what gears you need.
Bocho214 I have a 2015 Sierra 5.3 with 3.42 ratio Which gear ratio and did you end up putting on your truck because I want to lift my truck 9”and put 22x14 35s and what is your gas mileage?
Do a video on problems over time that come with 14 and 16 wides.
Too many variables unfortunately, driving, driving conditions, where you drive, how often, how well you maintain your vehicle, what kind of vehicle, tire size, the list really goes on of potential variables. Shawn's hummer has been on 14 wides for just about a year, and its been offroad up north quite a few times, tons of driving, year round with no issue. Same can be said for CO2! Proper maintenance and occasionally checking everything will be your best way to achieve longevity!
Numerically high that is.... 😂
Great video, and honest!
Least he has the balls to wear the shirt on a video shoot!
First amendment baby 😎
Math, am I right 🤣
Good vid dude
😂🤘
I know you already did a video on wheel spacers, but I still think there's some more things on it you can cover, like proper and safe installation, maintaining them, etc. They seem to get a lot of hate because most people still aren't educated on them. I just ordered a set of Bora spacers from you guys, and I'm excited! Just don't want the wheels to fall off.
What would it cost to change the gear ratio on a 2015 ram 1500 5.7 hemi 8spd 4wd. Currently I'm running 3.21 on 37x12.50r20 and what gear ratio would you recommend?
only1cix you're gonna have a hell of a time trying to regear that truck. I couldn't even get any gear shops to look at my front diff. The rear diff isn't that big of a deal. The lowest you can really go is 4.10 gears. (Have to buy the gears from RAM because they are the only ones right now that make gears for that front diff in the 1500s)
We don't do regears here, so we can't gauge it. Half of us do it at home though. But that's free labor on our own vehicles
Oh god the pain
Cuug yuug, Merica. Kid has a speed disorder.
Gears help but I ran 35s for 2 years then 38s for 2 years on gms stock 3.73 it was slow as Christmas but did just fine
I use a Pedal commander on a Frontier on 35's with a 3.69 Ratio 6 speed manual it still gets it thanks to the Commander!
I like illustration but you left a little out e=mc 2
good video. informative, may have talked me out of re gearing my 3rd gn taco
Love the landcruiser
really where you drinking
most people who commented negatively need to develop comprehension skills. probably failed kindergarten.
I'm sorry, but what did I just watch? Ouch..
Shi**..I knew what regearing was till I watched this ..this confused the hell outta me..
Didn’t confuse me, but I definitely feel dumber for watching it...
his voice.....
Dislike for the gay music. Wanna hear him talk not the music.
he's legit
C'mon CO's you guys spend too much time and money on these videos to not have a better or more experienced spokesman. I like brad but your teams needs to practice on their presentation skills
learn how to comprehend. do you need a special ed teacher?
no comment
🤦♂️
Change ur gears ........lol.....
Couldn't stand watching the video , the dude is a total sloth
Interesting video, but your voice put me to sleep!
Yea he is defintly the worse at making these videos.. i can't stand him
Lol....I'm lost..
