I've found it extremely helpful in the past to get advice from this board before I go ahead and dish out my hard earned cash. My question pertains to gear ratios. I've heard over and over that you lose alot of acceleration off of the line when you increase your tire size. I've checked out some websites that supposedely have formulas that tell you what you should change your gear ratio to, but I'd rather hear from someone directly.
I have a 3" rancho RS5000 lift on my 2000 XJ. I've had 31x10.5x15" Goodyear Wrangler AT/D's for about two years now. My Jeep originally came with 225x75x15" Goodyear RT/S's. What gear ratio would restore everything back to factory? Or, would I be better off going for a ratio lower or higher than factory? Is it expensive to have your gear ratio changed?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
