Lol perhaps you need to drive a Ranger that has 32 inch tires. It does just fine. I think I lost .5 MPG after lifting and installing 32 inch tires. After that I installed the Livernois tune and it wenr up by 2 MPG. You will be fine

Chris, I don’t think you know where I’ve been, such as others on this thread... you all need to do some research lol... I know all about tunes... enjoy...

I refrained from being a smart ass. But I was thinking the same thing lol

also 32” wheels with 32” tires would be a heck of a ride

Lmao!!! 32” tires ?

Yep I know. Those are Phil's Schilke 's words... not mine...

After all, for those paying attention, we all pretty much already knew that since he wear's an $800 hat, and drives a Land Yacht with a Ranger Lariat behind it, that it's logical to assume he's not worried about fuel economy.....

Okay...another back story. My father bought a 62 Rambler station wagon upon our return from Germany. He drove this pos to its grave, but in 1974 prior to its wreck, he got sucked into this Magic fluid injection to improve fuel economy. Install this bag in the engine compartment, hook it up to the intake manifold, and this magic fluid would improve fuel economy. And, you know his math indicated this was true. I told him to drive several tank fulls before calculating and it showed no improvement...Why...he first drove to what is now called "hyper mileing " The it proved it was no more than a intoduction of windshield washer fluid to the motor...so much for the magic fluid that he paid dollars for in a time when this was about $0.30 a gallon for gasoline. PT Barnum material.

1. As mentioned, I am not aware of any aftermarket gear sets for our trucks. Apparently the Heep Comanche uses the same rear so something may turn up before too long. I don't know about the front.
2. A 32'' tire is a factory optional size anyway and they don't use different gears. It isn't enough difference to bother with the expense of changing gears.
