2.3 Auto w/ 3.73 Gears on 35's Impression - improved driving experience over stock 32's

I have a obx ordered. I’ve already picked up some used sas wheels. Did you have have to do anything to the rear tire carrier? Any blockage of the camera or any issues with the bottom rubber bumpers?

For the most part its a perfect fit. Remember the sas's come with 315's stock, so little to no mods are required. I recently went from stock BB tires to 315's with zero problems.

Glad to hear 35s are viable with the 3.73s. So tempted to try for 37s, but probably not worth the risk. Not sure if I have seen anyone with 37s and 3.73s

Did you do the 37 with 3.73?… that exactly what i want lol

I’m running 35’s on my BB with 2.3L and 3.73’s. It’s not horrible but I am working on regearing to 4.70’s with an ARB in the rear.

how is the regearing processes? expensive? availability issues?

It’s going to run just south of $6k if you get the OE Ford axles front and rear, including the Cv shafts and front driveshaft. It’ll run just about $8k if you go with an ARB setup in the rear and the OE front axle. Parts seem to be available, so it’s just a matter of whether to drop that kind of dough on the rig. TBH, I’m probably just going to keep the driveline stock as it drives fine and the gearing off-road isn’t horrible once I’m in 2L.
