Well I found a deal on some almost new 33x12.50 Courser M/Ts on 15x8 Ion Alloy wheels.

Still only running a 2" BB but I couldn't pass this combo up! My old 15x8 wagon wheel and 31" setup weighed in about the same as the new.

It's going to progress over the next few months with some piddly but necessary shit such as longer brakelines, skids, tow points, beefier tie rod, disco's etc. Not going to lift it any more than it already is. Just going to bumpstop it properly.

How is the difference without regearing? Braking, accerleration?

I realized quickly that I need to regear from 3:55 to 4:10 asap. Braking is the same, acceleration is horrible. I live in the mountains so that makes a big difference. It does great on flat stretches but on curvy roads the transmission acts weird. My auto teacher won't let me regear in class because he says it requires a pinion depth gauge. All I've heard/read is that it's not entirely necessary.
