    I have a 65 cj5 that i am doing a frame off rebuild reusing all stock drive line (f-134 t90) with a 2.5 spring lift only, what is a good size tire that this motor will turn with out problems inregards to power, i will use stock gearing at this point. my hopes is to get a slightly higher top speed with a taller tire, thinking about a 31\10.5-15 or bigger if posible interco radial. part two of this is where can i find my stock gear ratio.

    Welcome!

    :moderator's note:
    I moved this to the proper forum, you'll get a better response posting in the correct forum in the future.
    :/note:

    Animal runs 34x9.5 16's with a 2.5" lift and the stock drivetrain (F-head) like yours.

    I wouldn't hope to get a higher top speed that way though. I'd put an overdrive in and keep the tire size around 30-31" myself.
