Did you change the gears in your diffs? If no then the answer is yes. Bigger tires changes your final drive gear ratio higher ratio, lower number. Which is hard on drivetrain componets.

Shouldnt be that much of a problem driving around normally, but if you are running a box, and making some power, yes, kiss it goodbye if you are hard on it...

hey guys thanks for the imput heres the deal i have only put about 750 mi on it sence lifted but last weekend i noticed as i took off from a stop that it felt like the trans. slipped a little in 1st gear @ about 15 or16 mph sense then i've noticed this enough times to scare me!! It shifts fine all the time except at that speed and when it starts to feel like its sliping if i let off the pedal a little bit or just push on through it its fine after that but its just weird that 750 mi after lift and tires i feel trans problems

so the trans sliping in 1st gear isnt a problem??

and if i regear like to a 4:56 you dont think it will slip any more
