Swapping axles is easy (just make sure you don't downgrade the axles in the process). But while 3.55's with 33's will be better, they will be FAR away from what it remotedly should be considered acceptable.

If your looking to just swap axles in, i wouldnt accept anything less than 4.10s(preferably 4.56s) for 33's. Anything less just wont cut it.

my first time to Fordyce I had 3.55s, manual tranny, 33" BFG MTs, open diffs, D35 rear.... I literally bounced through everything. Gearing and lockers are an amazing thing.XJ_ranger said:3.55's and a 5 speed with 33's here
seems to be the same as 235/75r-15's and 3.07's...
I hate it - though it would be great if i were into deep mud...

Not much difference between 32's with 3.55's and 33's with 3.55's. It would be better, but still far away from really justifying the work. Now if you could find 4.11's they would not be bad but if you are looking at 32's and then later 33's, go 4.56's or 4.88's! I ran 4.88's for a short while (couple long trips actually) and it wasn't bad: yeah I was limited to 65mph or so on the freeway but that's about it.SourApple said:
