Why Should I Re-Gear After Installing A Lift And Larger Tires?
Posted by Summit 4X4 on 10th Jun 2019
When you install larger tires, the weight, overall diameter and rolling resistance can result in unwanted stress being transferred to the axles and other components in your Jeep. Re-gearing means that your drivetrain will not have to work as hard to turn those larger tires and move your rig.
Due to the extra weight and stress on your Jeeps drive train, you may experience one, or more of the following affects:
- Loss of power.
- Loss of performance.
- Slower take off’s.
- Affected fuel efficiency.
- Over worked engine/pre-mature wear on drivetrain.
