Default Re: h3 axle/steering capabilities with 35s?

I think the 4.56 gear is a common upgrade. For more prerunning and desert race situations the steering rack can go away if you really push it, or do something wrong. I would carry a spare rack and tie rod assembly, do the 4.56 gears, and install the bolt on Fox shock upgrade if it were mine. The H3 is pretty tough, the only problem I have seen is the muffler breaks off after a while, I would install a lighter weight muffler.

They come stock with 4:56's. Precision Gear makes a nice thick cut 4:56 for a 7.25 IFS.

I've not seen a 4:88 for an AAM 725 IFS. They make them in 8-8.25.

I've got a set of BFG MT K/Ms on a FedEx truck that should be here today..

I'd been wondering what the stock gears are.. Going from 32's to 35's to keep the gearing the same you'd need 4.99's in a perfect world.. Do they make those..

no, 5:29's would be the next size up from 4:88's. Problem is, the front diff is 7.25". 4:56 is the largest you can get.

You would have to get a larger front diff, and for now there is nothing available.

I run the KM's, 285 75 r16.

It will feel sluggish at first. You will get used to it.

Honestly, I've said this before. When I want to fast, I get into my '05 GT.

I was wondering if you were downgrading...

I don't know if I should bow in your presence for knowing the info about all that info about gears or run like hell from you...
