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.

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.
