I currently have the badlands 2.7, Sasquatch bronco. 4.7 ratio. 35” tires.
i was thinking of moving up to 4.88, 5.13, or even 5.38. I know if have to do it for both front and rear.
I want to eventually upgrade to 37” tires. But not at the same time I do the gear upgrade either. I would rather do the gear up grade first followed later by the tires rather then vice versa.
as someone else mentioned in another thread. That the mechanical workload of 33” tires with a lower ratio was equal to 35” with the 4.7.
So if I move up to 37’s which would maintain equal mechanical workload? The 4.88, 5.13, or the 5.38?
Other than gas mileage which is not a huge concern to me. And lower top speeds on highways. What other considerations should I think about when choosing either 4.88, 5.13, or 5.38?
I also sometimes pull a 2500lb off road trailer that allready as 37 tires on it When I overland.
