Over Gearing problem

[GURU]

G'day all,

As I have stated in previous thread about my RR I just aquired. It has the auto gears in the transfercase. So it is overgear, too overgear infact, so much so that taking off on a steep hill in 1st is impossible without running the clutch badly.

My question is, how badly overgeared are the RR manuals with LT77 and LT230 standard running 33's? I was planning on changing the transfercase ratio to stock high range and fit 33's, so was wondering how bad the overgearing will be.

Also Can I get 33's to fit under the guard without a body lift and just a 2" spring lift? (I'm sure it's been asked before, if so just tell me to shut up).

G'day all,

I ran 255/85x16 (34") tyres on mine with only a 2 inch body lift and 2 inch spring lift, I just put a new set of springs in the back and moved the rears to the front. The other thing I had to do on the front was add 50mm spacers into the lower guard mount to flare the guard outwards to clear the tyres on lock, then I just hand bent the front lower edge to match. I also used 16x7 Discovery rims to get more offset outwards, though I now remember it actually being fitted with 7.50x16's when I brought it.
