I too have a Dana 44/30 and 35’s! I want to go to 33’s, because I too have 3:73 gears, and it would be easier on the brakes and suspension/ axle parts. Between the tires and steel wheels I have, it equates to damn near 100 lbs. each. 33’s would be beneficial, but I bought it with the 35’s and the tires still have a lot of life left. Hard to justify the expense of changing them, even though I really want to!
