35s on tremor??

[Stangman570]

I just fear some , not all , and CERTAINLY NO ONE HERE , won't be able to control one of these " bubbas" at highway speeds in a panic situation, off road is the wild west , but when you share the highway with small cars and such , and you have drastically changed all kinds of things that effect, well, everything in the way it drives/handles , things could end badly , and if mine , I would feel badly... just be careful on going to far... same applies to cars also if heavily modified methinks. . .

Thank the Good Lord we all take risk and survive!! If not we may never leave home daily. Have no idea how I survived the 70' as a kid and a teenager in the 80's.

Have you heard of a Dodge SRT? There are many factory produced vehicles that most of population should not be driving on the road with me and my family. It is what it is.

Well thank you so much for clearing that up... Certainly I know what a 35 in tire is. What's your point other than we can't effectively run a 35in tire? Because you say we can't??? I think alot of people can disprove that... Regardless of what the Google gods say. Thank the Lord that Neil Armstrong didn't listen to the flat earthers, otherwise the Moon landing would never had took place..

Go back and read my post carefully. I never claimed that I was currently running 35's. I stated that I've been offloading religiously on 295's with no issue. To be precise the 295 70 17 comes in @ 33.46 inches, so yeah they are larger than 33's, and yes for the record there are plenty of guys here that offroad with 35s on the Ranger, but your not going to do that with stock suspension and stock wheel offsets. You'll just have to Google that one up as well...... BAWAAAA......BAWAAAA.....BAWAAAA

 

[Stangman570]

That's Rich... I thought the same of you with the awesome lesson of 35's.....

 

[Stangman570]

I don't but I have looked into it. I probably should get a diff drop. Thanks

I know it was a hard decision to make for the extra $500 to $700 for the diff drop but that's the direction I will go with my new 3.5. I've learned the hard way on my ole Tacoma that I was getting premature wear on the needle bearing on my inner diff. Once I added the drop all of that went away.

However, you have a sweet ride there.

Funny you say that.........These truck handle like hot garbage when stock. My truck with my "bubba" tires handles better than stock. It helps that I actually built it correctly with proper suspension components.

Yes your truck , that's why I said , in all caps , "nobody here" , if you're saying that all the Rangers and other trucks I see lifted to the max are safer and handle better than stock , then we gots to disagree...

I guess this ole boy didn't take all of the arm chair quarter backs advice on this Forum... 37's, now that's a tire.

Just like this ole boy, it's your Ranger do what you want. I have and it take mine off road every chance I get with just a 3 inch level on 295 70 17 on stock struts with zero issues for the last 3 years. Trust me there are theoriest and then there are people who do. Question is which are you going to be?

I follow him on IG too, he REALLY off-roads his truck too.

Running a Icon EXT 2.5in at 3.5in of lift. Im running Cooper STT Pro 315/70R17. Love the tires and I offroad quite a bit.

Have you had issues with your rear fender flares? There are a couple guys out there with 35s that have ripped off their rear flare(s) when wheeling.

Nice setup, so the Icon EXT 2.5in can handle up to 3.5 inch of lift? Which Icon shocks do you have again? And how is the 35 at full lock? What UCA are you using?

I'm looking for a front shocks that can handle up to 3.5 inch of lift, so far I talked to majority of shocks manufacturers and Eiback is the only one that says they can do it.

Sweet ride!! I love my Cooper SST PROS. They are a beast in the mud!! Just curious, did you go with a diff drop on the 3.5 lift? I just bought a 3.5 kit for mine just for the upper control arms and diff drop.

Howdy bro, which brand did you get for the UCA and diff drop?
You gave me some advice on my setup when I went to a 3.5inch lift.

Go bigger; what is the worst that could happen....

So you're argument for 35s is to mention 295/70/17, which are 33.5-ish? The size recommended by the engineer who's advice you questioned... Thank God there's an ignore feature to this forum.

Agreed. Even if that was actually a 35... "[they] were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Rough country sells the entire kit, for less than $600 without shocks. It includes the diff drop and UCA's. As a matter of fact I just started my installation of the kit this evening. I'm going from a 3 in Readylift SST kit that I installed back in 2019. At that time a 3.5 in option was a little pricey.

I was a lil bummed that I didn't get the cool looking Aluminum UCA version. I had to get the Iron UCA'S as my steering knuckles are aluminum. The guys running the steel knuckles will get the aluminum UCA.

I'm also installing bilstein 5100's front and back. I picked these up on sale last weekend from Stage 3 motorsports. Had one heck of a deal, all four corners for $350. I don't mind the bilstiens as I've had really good experience with these over the years on my Tacoma.
