Running 32's with stock gears

[troylee442]

Hi there
I have some 16" mags for my truck and wanted to put some 265/75/16 tires on it (works out to be about 32 x 10.5). Would this be okay with my stock gears? (im assuming there 4.10's) or should i just stick with the 265/70/16? (about 31 x 10.5). Im not planning to do alot of heavy pulling. Maybe a light trailer with a couple dirtbikes or quads on it. I dont have a huge lift planned for the future, maybe another couple inches for the body. And for the trail i always got 4Lo. But i doubt i would go on the trail with the mags thats what my mudders are for! What do you guys think? Thanx

Update: -i also will be purchasing a header and possibly a camshaft (if the camshafts are any good) from LC for it in the very near future as i heard these, especcially the header, help alot

Shouldn't be that big of a deal for it. According to your signature, you're already running 31s, 32s aren't going to make that big of a difference.

Get a Doug Thorley header from the cheapest place you can find it and the cam from engnbldr.com

Are those good quality? I thought LC or pacesetter would be the best.

Update: on the doug thorley website there are only two headers availiable for my truck and it says that niether will fit a 5 speed with a hydrolic clutch

I'm fairly sure the LC header is a reboxed DT.
DT has made a header for 22R/RE equipped Toyota trucks for years, and 90% of them are 5spds, so I don't understand that.

oh im not sure thats just what the site said ill have to get into contact with them and ask and the cams from engbldr arent those also sold on ebay? are they any good? anyway but you figure i can run 32's with stock gearing? thanks again

Ted (engnbldr.com) sells on ebay but also direct off his site. Good products, quality and service. You can't go wrong. Email him w/any questions.

No problem, people run 33's w/ 22R's (less HP than 22RE) all the time. Slight loss of power may be noticed but not enough to worry about. So w/32's it's even better.

I agree it should do fine. I run 33's on my truck with a 22r, just dont use 5th gear as much as I used to. Some of my friends run 35's, and one of them runs 37's with stock gears and a 20r Somehow he gets around, so yeah, 32's should be no problem ;D

arent there different types of cams? some more for pure racing and some more mid range? for a daily driver what cam is the best. i have also heard cams can be hard on the engine?

[smwheelin]

i just went to engine builder and for 81-84 he has 2 camshafts a 261 and a 268 degree cam, the 261 is called crawler. what are these degree #s and how do they differ from a stock toyota cam?
