wanting to know wat ratio to use to run 33s under my coily, i got a gti engine soon to be supercharged so i recon they should pull em along, n lookin into rear disk brake setup..

buy as many front diffs as you can.
6.5 trans gears in a leaf case will fix your gearing.

You could look for 5.12s but honeslty you need to get some cromies and get a rear diff up front or you will be rebuilting and replacing every other weekend.

i run 31s and 5.14 tcase - rear airlocker and no busted drivelines thus far... it is however generally agreed that above a 31" tyre on a sierra you start to sacrifice reliability.

for 33's i'd be going 6.5 tcase gears and beefing up the mounts etc, but at the same time, as others have said, you'll want to be beefing up the front end for sure (depends on your driving style of course).

i don't thin the 5.12 R&P's out of the Vitara's will bolt into the front of a coily?

Nah, coily front ends are weak as piss, the front diff will explode the instant you bolt a 33 onto the thing. Someone whose never owned or touched a coily told me that

Just remember, when looking at gear sets, to add another 5-6% onto whatever percentage reduction they claim as a coily has a 3.9:1 diff as apposed to the 3.7:1 diff those figures are always quoted against in a widetrack leafy.

In saying that? Do you want 33's or do you need 33's. If you don't need them, then why add the extra stress on the driveline anyway.

A sierra on 32's has better diff clearence then a landcruiser on 36's 33's may not be needed
