Can I Run 35"s?

Okay, so here's the story. I have a 1987 Custom, 4" Ranco Lift, I can clear 33"s easily, but I want to go bigger. The engine is the 300 I6, with the 4 speed tranny. I don't have the money right now to re-gear, would I need to for 35"s? The 33"s already rub on what I think is the aftermarket traction bar in the front. I will post pics of situation soon. Thanks for any help.

yes, you would need to re gear, you wouldent have much torque if you dident. You should be running 4.10 to 4.56's with the 35's.

I'm in the same boat. I'm also wondering if I can run 35's with my Rancho lift, and I think I can. Heck, most people I know are running 33's without any lift right now. But i'll probably go with more lift so I can get more travel
