    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    The 35" on the H2 wheels (17x8.5) were 12.5" (35x12.5-17) The 33" ones are (wheels 16x7) 255/85-16. Then end up close to 10" wide. The equivalent in a 17" wheel will be 255/80-17.

    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    You can fit 35" tires without a lift but there is not much rear wheel travel before you hit the wheel wells. Here is 35" on Hummer H2 wheels and no lift. You can see the tire is already tucked up some. Here is the rear with a 2.5" shackle flip, which gives you back full travel without too...

    4.10 WITH an overdrive of some sort and larger tires. No way just regearing is going to do enough. Biggest key is an overdrive of some sorts.

    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    Welcome to the M1010 club! Tire size will help. No lift you can do 33" tires without issues (that's what I am running). If you can go up to a 35" tire (about a 2.5" lift needed) that will help more but will not get you to cruise comfortably at 70-75. You will need some type of overdrive as...
