I've got a 2 inch lift on my tracker with 275/75/15 M/T's and it does OK. You will get about a 5 to 7 mile per hour drop on a good incline. Im planning on getting some different gears, just have'nt decided on which ones yet!

i was trying to climb some pretty big rocks . if you have to go to fast you have no control. makes for good way to break things. t-case gears are well worth the money if you like to rock-crawl.

31s will fit fine with your set up 33s with maybe a little fender trimming. clutch will be fine if you stay off the rocks and just do normal off roading(mud,small hills,ditches etc) also alot depends on how well you can operate the clutch system .good luck and have fun.
