Re Gearing

[offroadguy32]

Hey there, new to the forum and getting ready to jack the pathy up to the normal aspects of 3" bl 3" SL and from what ive seen 33's or 35's are the most common choice for tire size. That being said is re gearing needed when going up to 35's or will it do just fine with out it?

you will need to regear for 35's 5.13's is what i would use, the IFS on these pathfinders cant handle 35's for very long. parts wear out and start to fail really fast

Sweet thats what i needed to know thanks

Also the 'standard' 3+3" lift will only give room for 33" tires, some trimming or removal of the fender flares may be required depending on rim width, back spacing tire width, etc. 35" tires will only fit with a sawz-all.

Well if thats the case i think i'll stick with 32's for a while and just plan to body lift/HD coil it, What im running as far as rims and tires are 15" Granite GA9 with 3.74" backspace the tires are Yoko geolanders 32x11.5x15 the goal with the vehicle was to have a decent winter vehicle that i could do a little bit of trail riding with during the summers and still be reliable so for now i think this will have to do then again i can pick up WD21's out here in CO for about 600-800 in good running condition, thats the one that will get SAS'd and remotely insane with.
