Tremor with 35's

[Bludrok]

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

That's why I choose the 5star tune + 100k warranty. Actually had a major failure on my civic si that honda blamed the tune for.

Just a note, there is some slight cutting involved. Might be able to not cut with positive offset wheels though.

Ill update pictures once I have it all dialed in. Gonna try to put rear bars back on, but cut or modify them if needed.

So basically you just removed the crash bars and have the 2" level? Man I am surprised that is all it took. Wheel offset is probably a good factor though. How is the wheel rub at full lock and room for articulation?

Granted, since I tow a lot I would probably just step up one size to a true 32" tire when the stock ones wear out but man she looks good with 35's

The 5 star tune has no effect on warranty?

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. ?

Sweet, Are you fitting 35s on the Tremor with just a 2" front spacer lift??

5 Star offers their own warranty.

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.

Wow you've gotten 24mpg. I've never seem those numbers. I've tried on cruise control doing 65 found the highest I've ever gotten was 19mpg in stock trim fx4

19 avg, or 19 is the highest youve seen, even short term?

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.

Unfortunately they have yet to produce over size gears for the m190 the first set I've found is the ones above.

Highest ever. Usually average 15 and it's mainly highway driving too. That's what makes me wonder. I watched a couple YouTube channels of people having issues with their rangers. I got a p0171 lean code at idle and dealer can't figure it out.

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

If they have one size they are likely working on others. Have faith!
You are definitely right about the Bronco aftermarket overflowing into Rangers. You 4wd guys will get some interesting new stuff in the near future.
I feel like COVID and other global crap are putting the brakes on some of the aftermarket development. Fingers crossed that some cool stuff comes around.
Just on a side note. Are both differentials the M190?

Non sasquatch broncos run a m190 same as our front. Bronco sas and upper models use a m210 the rear of ours is a m220

Whoah, very cool build.

Makes me feel better about what im planning for mine;
RTR+30mm offset 17" x 9" wheels, with 33"s (32.8") x 12.5 tires.
Hoping all i need to do is remove the crash bars and all works fine.

Hows your tires on full lock to everything? Felt liner/air dam etc?

I had to cut the felt liner back, remove both crash bars and the thick plastic block (intrusion block?) that is right behind the felt, cut the pinch weld/fender flare slightly, and cut the front crash bar mouting bracket.

Sadly, I had to give up my Rokblock Front Mud Flaps as well.

The air dam was removed with the front bumper.

I am planning on modifying the intrusion block and putting it back if I can.

@Bludrok any cool updates? Im very curious on your approximate mpg and 0-60mph runs
Have you put it on a dyno yet?

I just bought my truck 3 months ago, threw on some 33s and level kit, i noticed my mpg average was down to 14-16mpg and was like wtf, i dont think 33s should affect it that much even on highway. well i noticed a squeal on my back passenger side and just needed to wash the brake dust out. Few car washes later, still sqealing and then noticed heat and excessive brake dust on rear passenger rim, took off the wheel and saw pads were down to nothing and causing excessive wear and grooving the rotor. Literally only like 5,000 miles on the truck. I brought it into Ford and they had to replace the Caliper, bracket, rotor and pads.

It fixed the problem. Now i am averaging (city/highway) 18mpg with the 33s. I can bump it up to about 20mpg on highway if I drive like a grandpa! haha but decreasing the MPG is well worth it for the lift and tires. It really opens your eyes when you see stock rangers now, the ole FACTORY SLAM (FS) is horrible.

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.

Wanted to follow up here,

thanks
