g'day all,
Im wanting to put either BFG 33/10.5x15 AT's or Cooper ST 285/75x16 on my 2003 Hilux V6. What my concern is, with my current 265/75x16 BFG's they sap alot of power from hilux. It's not bad once the hilux is up and moving but it's getting off the line that's the problem, it feels like it's lacking torque!
Which is why I'd like to replace the high and low gears on my transfer case with the bigger tyres im thinking of putting on. I want the car to accelerate in high range slightly slower than stock (I reckon they were geared wrong from the factory which is why alot of V6's blew rear diffs), and the low range to allow me to not quite crawl, but abit slower than the previous models 3.0litre diesel did in low range.
I dont know where to go to get this done right in
Melbourne(west or north preferably) and which ratios should I get fitted to give me the driving characteristics im after, and how much would it set me back?
any advice is appreciated,
