why would I have to pay to fix it if its been running for 4 years? Dude....
Maybe you should worry about your tranny... If you want to take the chance and don't mind the power loss due to bigger tires and stock gears then by all means.. I choose to regear and I happy I did...

I didn't want to lose any low end and wanted to minimize stress on the drivetrain.
