cool thanks!

yeah for some of the logging roads out here i can baraaaarely climb the steep hills in hi-2nd gear
so i cant imagine that changing too much with taller tires.
in 4 low it powers right up in 3rd gear

Gears and tires have to work with however much power your engine provides. Any chance you're down some? Maybe run a compression test.

My engine sems in pretty good shape, no missing out, no smoking or leaks. It pulls some pretty steep hills in 2 high without too much effort. I'm running 600 ndts.

yeah i have yet to do a compression test.... the motor seems solid though.
especially since i changed the oil and added in some of that "engine restore" with.... Teflon? i think?
but yeah decided to run 20w50 oil in it to REALLY clean it out and pump up the oil PSI.
she seems happy.
i can get the idle down to 100 RPMs and hear each cylinder fire xD LOL

but yeah, thanks for the input. i really want to get the 7.00 or 7.50s on it. i think it would look awesome!

ill post pics when i do
