O.K. some thing interesting was mentioned to me today when I was talking to a friend of mine & we were talking about gears & re-gearing.
I told him & showed him w/33" tires & a 2.73 gear ratio that it would be nessessary to regear, correct.
Hears the answer I got, No I don't.
I comenced to tell him all my knowledge of gear ratio's w/tire ratio's etc. & showed the charts to him etc.
He said the he just bought the Jeepers bible & it states in there (which he still has to show me) that you can get the samething by changing the cam out for more torque & that I wouldn't have to regear.
I said I understand & agree to a certian extent but would still have to regear.
So what do U say, is it the same answer as I gave due to our teaching & the calculations of ,
New tire size
-----------------============% of change x original gear ratio = New gear ratio.
Stock tire size
So how bout it,

I didn't mention if it was a auto or manual tranny.
