Thread: 33's or 35's on V8 county

They flex and tear the teeth off. Also 4.7s have less tooth contact so weaker again. I have seen one in the UK with so called hardened 4.7s and diff pegged.
Pegging does help with the flexing issue.

I agree. Not a setup I would run for the same reason.

Have you ever done this?

I never said it would be unbreakable but I think you're exaggerating.....

I have used 4.7's in a Range Rover fitted with mud tyres (not 35's admittedly) and have been surprised how long they have lasted and the abuse they took, despite the warnings of the doomsayers.

I currently have a P76 powered range rover with stock 3.54's on which the previous owner ran 35's for ages before the rear center gave up. Yes, 4.7's are weaker than 3.54's but not to the extent some people make out.

If you control your right foot in low range, 4.7's will last a surprisingly long time.

I have had a few here destroyed by a wee little 2.25 on 750X16. Imagine a V8 and 35's

I had 35's on my 3.5 4 speed county and loved them. was a little high geared at times but still more then did the job.

why settle for 35s, go 54s..

Seriously though, nothing wrong with 35s on a 3.5 county, i did it, completly stock setup, then i put 2in lift under it and went for the 37s, the gearing change is noticable, you loose some crawl ability in low, but i found with the lt95 its not to bad, comparable to my old d2 on 32s, and as for high range in the LT95 v8 countys, its like it was meant for 37s, it only ever struggles on long hills at high speeds.

ohh and my motor was on its way out before the 35s and 37s, it made little difference to it, just makes it feel more like your driving a gutless deisel not a grunty v8, if you lived closer i would let you trial run my 37s.
