Will I need gears??

[98chev]

I have a 1998 1500 ecsb and ive got a 3 inch body lift with 33s. the next step is a 2 inch suspension lift with 35s. i was wondering if i should regear or if i will be fine with stock gears?

depends on stock gears. What do you have? you can manage with 4.10s on 35s but it will be a turd.

2 inch suspension lift? I hope you aint planning on wasting money on a kit when you can crank the front keys and block it in back or add a leafs.

FYI some guys clear 35's stock, a 3 inch body lift should clear, and definately with the combo you want.

id go to atleast 4:10s

Gears are good to have for 35s but will cost you.

I have 3:73 on 33 and its good. on 35 its a slug. Depending on the width you should clear the 35 now. IMO 1.5 block in the back and cranked level with good shocks and you wont notice too much of a difference in the ride. When you surpass 2" IMO is when it starts to get bad, but that is also subjective... Parts wear isnt tho. That will happen..
