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

I have a 5-speed and I wouldn't want to try and run 35". The accelleration and mileage would drop. And the clutch life would suffer.
You would probably need 4.88 gears to make up for the 35" tires but then the gears would have to be smaller and therfore weaker.

I hope they make an H3 with a bigger engine and stick shift.

A V8 and 5-speed would rock
They would have to upgrade the trans and front axle to handle a V8 for sure
