RedPath88 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Most people stick with stock gearing when moving to 33's. Is it ideal? No but it works well enough for most too not bother with the high cost and work involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If you do the work yourself and be resourceful, do a vg33 swap. Will be cheaper than new gears, have the same effect on power, but gain in mpg.. really makes these trucks come alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) When my truck had 31" highway terrain's, it would get ~19-21mpg. With 33" BFG KM2's and no lift I get 15-16. Downhill. And that was before the 3.3 swap. It didn't improve either. Edited November 16, 2013 by silverton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
