tire size/ and gears.

Just looking around.
p pump 24 valve with nv4500 2.6 truck. looking to run 4th 4low
I had plan to run 35's and 5.13 gears but after looking at the price jump for sts between 33 and 35's both are 12.5 wide

If I went with 33's what gears should i run or just stay with the 5.13's ?

Thanks
Rusty

It all depends on what kind of R's you want to maintain down the track. Here is a thread with some VERY VERY helpful info in it, just fill the cells in to match your set-up and it will greatly help you out.

ive been thinking 4.88s i am not sure also take into consideration final ratio too

4500 ish would be nice but I really don't know what it will do haven't had it runnin.

If your only wanting to run 4500rpm's you should be fine with 4.88's. That's what I plan to eventually swap into my 97. If your sticking with 33's that's another reason to save $$ on the 4.88s over 5.13s.

Well I would like to run as many as I can get but I dont see my truck hold many more than at. Our limit is 4800 on our class. The truck right now is on 35's but after pricing tires I see new 33's before 35's

I don't know how much power you will be making but getblown5.9 on here is at around 710rwhp and im pretty sure runs around 4-4200rpm down the track with 33's and pretty close to the same final drive ratio as 4th low(in a 5spd) with 4.88's.
