I have a 2003 Libberty that I am going to put a Tommudd's Econo 3.5" Lift Kit KJ (Tommudd's Econo 3.5" Lift Kit) on it in about 2 weeks. I do not know what tires I am going to run on it until I get it lifted and take some measurements. I would like to go with 265/75R16.
Gears:
I will be changing my ring and pinion set to 4:10 or 4.56. But it is not going to happen for a few months.
Now the question: the Liberty 3.7 has plenty of power to push 265/75R16 or 275/70R16 even though re-gearing it is preferred and I know I will lose some power.
Is it the transmission cannot handle it? Or the shifting points get thrown off?
I would like to know what to expect.
Should I just go with the 265/70R16 until I get the gears and then put them on my wife’s liberty after we put the OME and new shocks and go to the 265/75R16 then?
265/70R16
Overall Diameter = 30.7
Width= 10.9
275/70R16
Overall Diameter = 31.0"
Width= 10.9"
265/75R16
Overall Diameter = 31.9
Width= 10.7
