Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum, but not to building. I have an 85 AMC Eagle wagon that I'm straight axling with parts from an 86 Commanche pickup. It has a D30 front and an AMC20 rear with 4.10s, the dealer told me it was some oddball package they offered for heavy weight and towing, didn't even know till now they used anything other than the 35 or 44. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what the best tire size to use with the 4.10s will be to use for pavement reasons, I plan on being able to drive it on the freeway at 75-85 comfotably without over-revving the engine. The engine for now is an AMC 258 with a TF904 behind it with a 231 out of the Commanche. I'm hoping with this combination that I can use 31" or 32" tires, if I have to I can go up to 33", but I'd rather the smaller sizes. I'm going to use YJ Wrangler front springs and the rears are funny enough, the same as XJs, so I'll use some XJ lift springs for the rear. Any thoughts about tire size?? I can't seem to find a reasonable gear chart to help. Thanks.
