[QUOTE="Pock, post: 458529, member: 8036"] So I'm literally on the verge of clicking the "buy now" button on a new set of rubber for the crawler, but I've been torn for months over what size to go with. I've bought alot of tires and NEVER have I had such a difficult time deciding. The rig currently has 36x13/16 TSLs on it and it is basically built for these tires. I really have zero complaints about how well the rig works. But who doesn't wanna go bigger, right? . I have narrowed my choices down to either another set of 36's or stepping up one size to the 38's. Either way, I'm sticking with the TSL's. My dillema is fitment. The 36's fit perfect. If I go to the 38's, I MIGHT be able to fit them with 3" spacers up front, and put my current 1 1/2" on the rear. Otherwise, there's no way to go bigger without reconstructing my rig, which I'm not interested in doing right now. The rig is the Toyota in my sig. 4.10's, stock dual cases, and no hydro. The gears are about perfect for the current tire size, and the steering works pretty well without any hydro assist. These are both possible changes I may have to address if I go up to the 38's. I'm also not sure if running the 3" spacers is even a good idea. From what I've read, some guys do it but it's not desireable(?) SO, my question is, what would you do? Leave it alone & go with what already works, or go bigger & potentially screw up a good thing and spend the next several months trying to make it work as good as it already does? :dunno: :fish: [/QUOTE]
