I am going to lift my wag 4",not sure which one but I am still looking.I have 3.31's upfront and an AMC 20 in the rear.I would like to put 32+11.50+15.on my wag.Would that size tire affect my gearing? or will it be ok.My wag is full time 4wheel,I would like to make it part time,what running gear would I need to do that.Any help would be great.

Welcome wigwag...

there are TONS of posts on this topic that can be found in the archives and by using the search..

here is a good start

if you go to the main screen, look under the archives for suspension

3:31's will be fine with up to a 31" tire if it were me... I used to run 33's with 3.54's and it felt sluggish off the line.. but that's me.... MANY members here have run 33's with 3:31's and 3.54's and are happy...

Your effective axle gearing will roughly increase(lower numerically) by the same % as your tire size increase.

Please read this post as well. Especially the reply from RichCal. It is something I will have in mind when I do my lift.
