Ry
I borrowed a set of 245-75-16s on Soft 8s a couple fo weeks ago to do an experiment
and yes I think that size and 4.10s is perfect for what I do.
There are a lot of times when I am on hills and stuff that I think "if I just have a little lower it would be great"
I'm on the fence as to my next step , back down to 245-75s, JBA steel diff and lower gears or what
If it were me I would be looking to regear
Yeah it cost more but knowing how tall the od gear
is in the KJ ,all trans options, you could easily put
4.56 maybe even 4.88 depending on how many
highway RPM's you can live with
I think 4.56s and 32s would be great myself
now if all you ran were flat land all the time its ok
Yeah, 4:56 gears would be great.
I doubt that the majority of the stock IFS components would handle that low a gearing for harder off road use and larger tires!
By the time you upgrade to custom made front axles with RCV CV joints, a custom made intermediate shaft, and JBA Steel front differential housing
(Not to mention modification/alteration to the current offerings of aftermarket upper control arms to put the ball joint in a better position so that the ball and socket has a better range of movement and the A arms have a more horizontal/stock position so they don't hit the coil spring) the over all cost would be quite high.
I personally think that that money would be better spent going to a solid front axle setup.
