Tremor with 35's

Sitting here at America's Tire, waiting for my 35's to be installed. Needless to say, I'm a little excited.

I'll post pictures as soon as I have them. ?

The first tire is being balanced now. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Here is a first look:

I forgot to mention the wheels are -12 offset, which is the equivalent of a 3" spacer. (2-5/8" to be exact)

Let me know what your mpg drops down to. I think I'm having an issue with my injectors buy can't rule out tire size. I'm running 34s and get 11.9 to 12.5 mpg with a 7 mph speed difference.

Also bronco having a m190 front diff benefits us as they are now coming out with ring and pinion sets for us.

MPG is dependent on many factors. Before the tire change, I could get 25mpg setting cruise control at 62 (This doesnt account for the fuel used to get it to 65.) My best mpg average was on a 6 hour hwy drive where I had cruise set the entire way at 65. I got it up to 24mpg.


That being said, I average about 14mpg, depending on my right foot.


I'll let you know how it changes once I have the info. First, I have to update my tite size in my ecu.

ive been following your build,
How do you feel your performance upgrades(adding HP) are working to compensate for all the extra weight you’ve added along with now the 35s?
is it adequate?
Have to guess that stock power wouldn’t be able to handle 35s, bumper, bed rack, level kit, ect. Without leaving something to be desired. But maybe im wrong?

I had 35" BFG mud-terrains on my 97 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6" of lift. It had 3.55 rear gears. That truck was a 5.9 magnum with some bolt on mods but definitely not a power house. The 35s killed it and I couldn't even run in OD on a slight uphill.
I swapped the 3.55 gears with 4.10 from Yukon Gear and never looked back. After the gear change the performance was on par with stock and the speedometer and odometer were spot on.
I understand that the ten speed trans helps maintain performance with oversized tires but lowering the final drive gears will really make a huge difference. It may even gain back some MPG because you will be able to run in the higher gears.

Only got them on yesterday, and haven't updated forscan, but i can definitely feel it lugging the engine now in D, so I turned on trailer mode, which took care of it. (So does S mode) Definitely interested in a gear change, but will wait to see if changing the rev/mile in forscan helps.

Power seems fine otherwise. Ill do a few 0-60 runs after I get an alignment to see how much difference there is.

Gearing will make the single biggest difference in getting the truck back to factory performance and feel. It will also give you the best chance of good (stockish) fuel mileage. Glad to see we are going to be getting some options for gear changes.

Thanks,
The reason i ask is because id like similar size tires eventually.
i made a mistake extending my warranty to 70,000 miles, because I already want to add a tune, and straight pipe/down pipe. Along with a whole bunch more. Lol
