When i do my bodylift, im sure 33's are going to look small, and am seriously stepping up to the plate and throwing on 35's...

Just want to know whos running 35's on a 60series and not running a turbo or V8, but just the ol 2H 4.0 litre.

Would be curious to know how it will affect hills climbs and decent speed in low range...


Thanks.

yeah i got 35's on my 2h 60 non turbo, little bit sluggish on real steep climbs in low range, bogs down a bit when u get traction.

overall it goes ok good in the mud!!

have u done a spring lift cause the 35's wont fit unless u have.

mines got 2inch spring and 2 inch body lift and occasionally hits the fron

i run 34" JT2's (more like 35's) on a troopy with a 2H
no body or spring lift.
can get a bit sluggish (more so than normal) on the hills but still keeps going. Find myself in 1st low a lot more often than i did with the 32's i used to run off-road.

Diffs are stock 4.11's

I had 35" BFG muddies on an HJ75. Like Matt said, with 4.11 diffs it was a slug on the hills. I fitted a set of 4.88 gears, but it was not much better. So I fitted a 1HDT donk :)

i was running 35's for about 6 months before i turboed my 2h. It was ok. Sluggish on hills, and sucked really bad on sand. But ok around town. Still felt fine in low range!

So, in conclusion, should i just stay with the 33's... Theres been nothing really i havent been able to get through because of tyre size, so maybe no real need to go bigger. 33's will probably still look alright with body lift hopefully.

i'm running 35's on my troopy - before spoa i was running BFG 35's (mudders), with no power steer, 4 spd, 40 series axles (basic std HJ47 gear), and now with power steer, 5 spd, 60 series axles, it feels like it goes worse.

Went ok before, but now pretty slow - only had it on rocks so far, 1st gear low still had grunt, but i reckon in sand and mud it won't be real good.

I've got a turbo for it, so now just have to get of my behind and put it on.
