Considering re-gearing. Lots of questions.

[Daemoro]

OK, I am terrible at using the search engine here. So if there is a thread where all/most of this is covered I would be eternally grateful for the link.

2005 v8.

I recently added ICON coilovers/shocks and springs and Black Hawk UCAs. ICON wheels with 0 offset.

I'm currently on stock size tires. I know I can go to a 33" without any trouble. I should be able to go to 35" without much trouble. Maybe a body mount chop and maybe a small bit of trimming (going with new bumpers soon so the mud flurps etc will be gone soon anyway).

1- How critical is re-gearing with the 35" tires? I do some light off-roading now but I am looking to tackle bigger obstacles... hence the buildup.

2- What ratios should I be looking at for 35"?

3- If I decided to go big, what options are out there for complete front/rear axel replacement to go with something a little beefier than the 8" that's on it? (I found Nitro Gears but have been having trouble finding anything else.... LOTS of results for CVs... when I say COMPLETE AXLE I mean everything not just the CVs stupid Google.)

Any other advice or whatever is welcome.

TIA

Am i going overboard on Re-gearing and Dana 60 axles?

Thanks!

I just found/read through that last link.

That's the way it always goes for me. Once I take the time to post a question I start finding threads.
