33's on lux,gearing/power????

Post by Turbo Tonka »

hi all,just bolted up a 33 BFG yesterday to my 3L lux. i loved the look of it,filled the guard a bit better,sat out wider :cool:. i didnt drive it,but would 33's kill it???non turbo,would i perhaps need gearing????if not i was thinking of just going a 32x11. i have a 2"b/l,2"s/l so i figure 33's should look the part. any info would be great. i had 33x10 Bf's on my old 2LT lux,do they still make them, i was told no

33's

i run 33 x 12.5x15 on mine-its turbo'd but i'm putting in 4.88 diff gears-its too doughy and over runs in low range. OK on the highway though but have to drop back on hills. You probably need to trim out the inner front guards as they'll rub off road-backs are ok just rub the paint off on the frame a bit.
