You will need about 8" of lift to run 33's and at least 5.13 gears to turn them. The question being not if your motor will but if your axles will.

I guarantee you will recieve more reply's if you turn the "cap's lock" feature OFF when you type....

In the meantime, take a minute and explore the "SEARCH" function. It can provide Hours of information.

I run 1.5" lifted YJs with 4.5" RRO spring over to fit 33" Thornbirds on 2" backspaced wheels. I had a little rubbing on the front fender wells at full stuff....nothing a hammer can't fix. Try this link if your just starting out with zuks

there is a lot of info you can use for the beginner, this board has a lot of "hardcore" builders that have moved beyond the normal wheelin' realm (both mental and physical)
:D I hope this helps you out.:p

thanks to the flames and the yelling and the more flames and the hazing too

and the SEARCHES....oh how they really do work!!!

bahahaah the jeep comment was great.... i had to think of a nice way to say

SUZUKI != JEEP


why else would jeepers be unloading thier rides to join the ranks of the zuke world ? Think about it....

Im gonna start calling jeeps, "big suzuki's" and see how that goes..

Ill report back....

edit...

If all you change on your vehicle are 33" tires and diff gears, then 4.63 gears will bring your gearing so close to normal it's scarry*. Going from a 27" tire to a 33" tire, your gearing would have to go from 3.73 to 4.56. And since we know that stock Zook gears outlive most aftermarket sets, the 4.63 is the common sense choice.

*refer to the Gear Calc page at iZook
http://www.izook.com/tech/math/gearcalc.htm


If you actually want to wheel that Zook though, change out your t-case gears... because diff gears will only go 'so low' and it ain't low enough for rocks...
