Im no expert, but i wouldnt want to put those big heavy tires on the v6 especialy with those little gears, i feel like itd strain the motor and the tranny too much[/QUOTE] ok man I was planin on regearing to 4.56 in about a year but I don't wanna burn up my trans r motor either so I might stick with the 33s for now

Once again im no expert but thats what i feel like itd do and 4:56s are probally too big for 35s 4.11s would more likely suit better, but you might be able to get away with it let one of these other guys chime in im sure they'll know better than me

4.56 would eliminate the low end drag wt the v6. Wt my 5.4 and 35s I was considering 4.10s

The v6 is extremely low powered compared to the 5.4 so higher gears would help it
