I have a 92 wagon that I want to lift 2", an put on slightly bigger tires. No true wheeling in mind, just xtra clearance for the trails....

Question is - I would like to lower the gear ratio without going to a manual w/ lo-range. Is it possible (easily) to change the final drive of the tranny?

 

Thanks!

I am assuming this is a 3-speed automatic? If so, no.

Yes - 3 spd auto. I was hoping that I could pull the tranny apart and put in a different final drive gear.

You know...an auto may be just the thing for compensating for the larger tires.

If you don't abuse the auto too much it can function as a variable low range?

 

How big of tires are you thinking?

Not sure what is offered in 13's. Stock size is 185/70-13. My ride currently has some cheap 165-R13, no aspect ratio called out, they're metric.

I was thinking something like 175/80-13. That gives me about an extra 3/8" ground clearance over stock.
