Ratio for 33" on a 83 RR
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 5:32 pm
Has anyone ran 33" on a RR 83 LT 95(4 speed) Carburator?
Is a 4.11 R&P needed to re-adjust ratios
Thanks

Even if it is a 4 speed gearbox??Slunnie wrote:To maintain standard gearing, assuming the 3.54/29" tyres, then 4.11's go with 33's.

Will the 3.5 Carby with a 4.11 provide enough troque to spin the 33"s
I did not loose much power with the current 32 and LT 95 ratio....TRobbo wrote:Jay,Jay wrote:What will give the rangie a better rugged look and off-road performance all around(rocks,snow and light mud) 33"x11.5 JT II or 33x12.5 TRXUS or 33x12.5 BFG....

I think you'll find that you will be returned close to standard gearing with a 33/34 inch tyre and 4.11's.
You have the LT 95 gearbox....How is the crawl ratio with the 32" has it lost much power what type of tyre are you running?PSI250 wrote:Thanks mate,
Tyres are 32x11.5x15's
Standard axles
Carby 3.5 & 4 speed.
Its not running at the moment so strength is not an issue.
Before it hits the road, or at least OFF road i'll hopefully have a rear maxi (and maybe front maxi and 4.11s, depends on what kind of deal i can get!!) I want to ditch the 3.5 for an inj 3.9 soon too.

Looks like your truck have flares PSI250...are these rangies Falres that can house a 35" with a BLKPSI250 wrote:Jay wrote:You have the LT 95 gearbox....How is the crawl ratio with the 32" has it lost much power what type of tyre are you running?
Haven't driven it with the 32s as its not running yet, i'd imagine the crawl ratio to be pretty screwed. Hopefully i can get some 4.11s in before it hits the road.
Its not running at the moment so cant compare to standard size tyres.
Tyres are BFG Mud Terrains.
Rangie Spares flares with the gaurds cut heaps, its got 2" Body and 2" suspension lift. Should fit 35s no worries.Jay wrote:Looks like your truck have flares PSI250...are these rangies Falres that can house a 35" with a BLK
How do you go on steep downhill sections, doesn't it try to run away from you too much??DaveS3 wrote:Just try it and see.
If you feel you need to change to 4.1s then do it.
I have 36's and a Carb 3.5, 4speed and 3.54s
It could be lower, but I still do everything I have to, just a bit more right pedal and not backing off as much
It still drives around town alright, but its not built for that so I dont worry about it.

You might need a 3" suspension lift with the flares and 2" body lift to fit in the 35" easily remember your truck will flex off road
I have found that even in a manual that you still use the brakes. My 83 Rangie (used to have the same gearbox but taller hi-ratio) even in low first I had to brake on downhill and I am running same diamiter as you are (32's just in 16 inch rims).PSI250 wrote:i'd rather be in first low and off the brakes as much as possible.
Yes but if that happens all you need to do is hit the accelerator.Bush65 wrote:
Too low a gear can also lock-up wheels on steep slippery decents.
